Open heart surgery & pins and needles
Hiya, I had a triple bypass in early June and believe I am recovering well, now post-op week 5. The graft was harvested from my left forearm. Immediately after surgery I had pins and needles in both my hands and it improved rapidly over the first couple of weeks. However for the last 2-3 weeks it

Week 9 Run 3 - Hey! Ho! Let's Go
Sunday 4th July 2021 When I left this morning the sun was shining and my lungs were saying I am ready to run. Once I reached my halfway point on the bridge the rain started to lash down. I had a decision to make stop and walk back and try Tuesday as no hurry to continue. As soon as I starting running

Awaiting open heart surgery for mitral valve repair/ replacement
Hi I am awaiting the above op (consultant has said 3 month wait) but have had no face to face appointments due to covid. I have so many questions about this procedure but the main one is about the recovery period? I’m a busy primary school teacher and want to know if I’m being foolish to think I will

Forgot to take my Flecainide - no adverse reaction
I usually take 200mgs/day Flecainide, the only drug I take. Yesterday for the 3rd time in 7 years I forgot to take one of x2 100gms. On the first occasion I was very worried and even cancelled an overseas business trip due to start the same day. The second time also very concerned, yesterday just uneasy

symptoms following open heart surgery
I'm 33 and had open heart surgery two months ago to repair my mitral valve. My resting heart rate before surgery used to be around 55 bpm but after surgery this jumped to 100 bpm. The doctor said this was normal and was just the heart adjusting and that it would go down over time. Over the next two months

Newbie to forums
I'm new to forums but thought I would give it a go as I'm keen to connect with people who have gone through something similar to myself. I'm 33 and was diagnosed with mitral prolapsed valve a few years back. Earlier this year I came down with endocarditis which the doctors managed to clear up but I ended

Anyone want to join a weightloss thread?
I am @14lbs heavier than before I was told about my mitral valve regurgitation and had open heart surgery. I usually manage my weight with exercise but as I now have heart failure I can’t do that so I am doing a calorie controlled diet. After some trial and error I have discovered that thatit is harder

Interesting study on T3 and vasodilation
This is a complex study of the effect of T3 on vasodilation https://academic.oup.com/endo/article-abstract/162/7/bqab099/6276892?redirectedFrom=fulltext . I do not have access to the full paper and anyway I'm not interested in the precise details! T3 acts in a number of ways. Usually, it binds to thyroid

Apixaban
Hi! I’m new here.. I’m 34 years old and was diagnosed with Pulmonary Embolism in February this year and I’ve been on Apixaban for 3 months. And stopped Apixaban for a month. Doctor told me I’m at risk of having another episode of PE and it will likely in my lungs again. Now, I’m back on Apixaban today
