Apixaban versus clopidogrel
Prior to PAF diagnosis I was taking clopidogrel, after diagnosis this was switched to apixaban. On clopidogrel I bled more when cut and bruised much more than on apixaban, is this due to apixaban working I a different way. Just wondered if the apixaban was effective in my case.

QRS
I have had a reading on my Kardia of sinus rhythm with wide QRS I was in AF and the subsequent readings confirms AF I gave me quite a scare. Should I be worried?

Heart Bypass
My partner had a quadruple bypass on the 12th March. He was home a week later, but since then he’s been having awful pain in his left shoulder and can’t sleep properly for it. Any suggestions?

Feeling Deflated
Started Couch to 5k again and I have been struggling this time, but I've kept going I've repeated Wk 1 a few times. Now I'm really enjoying it but I'm in so much pain after it with my knee. I'm taking pain killers using deep heat gel and also tried a tens machine but my knee still hurts. Are there any

In KNEED of support.
Advice, please. My left knee has been niggling for a couple of weeks and I have tried Deep Heat and a neoprene leg support for when I'm not active. Can any of you recommend a support to wear whilst I'm running? There are lots out there, but I'm like a child in a sweet shop and can't decide. It's on the

Scared I have heart failure
I am anorexic and I weigh 40 kgs and I’m concerned I have heart failure - I have been having shortness of breath when lying down and things like that. However I’ve been to the hospital and had a chest X-ray an ecg and the doctor said my lungs are clear so I’m not sure what this is. Please help ? Thanks

Sneezing in AF
I have reasonably controlled AF with maybe 1 episode a month which usually terminates with PIP Flecainide and Metoprolol .With last nights episode I returned to sinus rhythm after about 3 hours but my heart has been racing all day and I was feeling pretty exhausted after 20 hours. Can you believe I just

Sinus arrhythmia found but is this really what I am feeling?
Hello, this may seem like an odd question, but please allow me to explain. For a couple of years now, since my hashimoto's (thyroid disease) diagnosis, I have been complaining of feeling palpitations or missed beats, skipped beats etc. I have had numerous ecg's and been in the ER on a couple of occasions

Lifelong chest aches & pains?
Hi, I'm at 14months post heart bypass and have had, given the difficulties accessing post-op rehab due to Covid, a pretty good recovery. Working hard on my fitness and my diet etc. However, I still get a considerable amount of chest discomfort. Aches, pains, numbness and tightness. Nothing overly serious

Struggling with ectopics and enlarged left ventricle
Hello, I am new to this group. I am feeling very nervous and worried as I have been struggling for sometime with ectopic beats, now been told my left ventricle is enlarged as is my heart. Hoping medication will improve things, otherwise I will be placed on the heart transplant list. I am 48 and had surgery

Can’t believe it
I had a silent heart attack last Wednesday and an angioplasty Saturday, at home now resting but it doesn’t feel like I had an attack and can’t believe it. The angioplasty seems like a bad dream. Bit uncomfortable and slight pain but surreal feeling anyone else feel or felt like this

Measuring pain
This is a question is for all the ladies who have had a heart bypass. I am frequently asked how painful the procedure was. Well I had my first child over 50 years ago ( not by Caesarian ) and if I could compare I would say child birth was by far the most painful. It is something still in my mind now

Apixaban and Long Covid
Have just seen a report on BBC News about a trial being done to use Apixaban or Atorvastatin in the treatment of Long Covid (which can lead to death in 12% of patients who were admitted to hospital with Long Covid and then discharged) see this link for full details https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news

How many here like us had needed heart surgery postponed in last 12 months? Still waiting? Hoping for it to be in this next COVID lull?
Still concerned that some Trusts, NHS generally not attending to non-COVID life threatening, time critical surgeries as they should be.

Chest Pains.
I keep getting chest pains but had X-rays for my chest and it is all normal. They keep saying it is muscular pain but I have taken everything they give me and nothing seems to work.
