Sauna/ Steam room/ after bypass.
Hi everyone, hope everything is going ok. Just wondered if anyone who has had a triple heart bypass has been told not to use any of these? Also thinking are you aloud to use a hot tub? Just thinking, as I would like to possibly join a health club. Thanks.

Apixaban side effects.
I have a new cardiologists. Hurray! He has taken me off xerolto, because of many violent nosebleeds. He says apixaban hopefully will reduce or eliminate these bleeds. My question is has anyone had any disturbing side effects from apixaban? I am starting on it today. Other than nosebleeds life is grand

Should I worry after heavy fall?
I was carrying a very heavy bedside cabinet and fell on the floor, no warning nor trip that I'm aware of. I think I may have fainted. Anyway, serious bruises to my arms and a hefty wack to my chest. Now some serious pain in chest mechanics and some loose clicking in ribs at bottom rib level. I had open

Researchers find 10-minute add-on heart surgery cuts stroke risk by one-third
As long as surgeons have a patient under anesthesia for one heart procedure, they may as well make it two—and according to a new study, the benefits in preventing future strokes could last a lifetime. Researchers examined whether making a quick detour during surgery to close off the left atrial appendage—a

Heart Transplant
Has anyone else with Cardiomyopathy been told that their only option left is a Heart Transplant? Just received this info from Hospital 4 days ago and it's left me feeling so numb. Is anyone else going through this.

Peak flow readings
Good morning all. I’ve recently been diagnosed with Heart Failure and I’ve been asked to use a peak flow meter to check my lungs. Over the last week my average is around 575 (I’m a 6ft - 68 years old- male). I think this is ok and shows my breathlessness is caused by my Heart Failure. My question is

Where do I go from here? Afib or arythmia any difference?

Recommendations to stop feeling sick with heart failure?
Still waiting for the final part of node ablation and switching on of CRT device. Implanted 8 weeks ago and still no news of the next bit. Rang hospital today and they could not tell me anything. Just got to keep waiting. Even though the EP casually said just give me a ring if you feel unwell and I’ll

Dr FREI REUSABLE MASK WITH VALVE - RECALL.
My wife has just had a fascinating morning with Amazon as we received 6 e mails yesterday asking for these to be returned as it has been found they only have 5% instead of 95% efficacy as found in Iceland - the country not the shop. I just want to let you know that you can contact Amazon customer services

Deep Heat Patch
Are Deep Heat patches safe to use if you have non allergic asthma? The GP didn't know and said you can try it but on the internet it says asthmatics avoid.

Long-term Flecainide for atrial tachycardia
Well, my pulse rate is mostly regular now. The strange thing is, I can still feel it doing the occasional somersault and palpitations, even though the pulse remains regular. Anyone else had this?

Return to Afib with a vengeance
Had two ablations the last one September 2020. Have taken Apixaban and 1.25mg Bisoprolol after reduction from 2.5mg. About December/January i stopped taking any Bisoprolol and after maybe 6/8 weeks I noticed when taking my BP I missed a heart beat every 30 or so. Instead of discussing with the Cardiologist

Minimal Invasive Aortic Valve Replacement
I had Minimal Invasive Aortic Valve Replacement 3 weeks ago as I had a bicuspid valve. I am at home 2 weeks now and having a lot of difficulty sleeping. Is this normal? I am quite anxious as I get pain in my chest and start to imagine all sorts. Minimal invasive is far less traumatic than open heart

Those little side effects after heart surgery..... :)
Hello, it's been a while since I last posted. I'm recovering well from my mitral valve repair, getting on my wattbike and rower (under the supervision of my lovely NHS Physio). I have two questions: 1. 'burping' - yes I know. I'd never had an issue with this before the above and I have to say it's
