Heart failure and permanent
Hiya all, I have heart failure and feel it might be getting worse as I am really tired and sleeping half the day away. Is there any procedure to help heart failure? I have been told I am lucky as don't have any blocked or furred up tubes but feel that people who have procedures seem to have better lifestyles

Hi all I was having flutters following a heart attack at the beginning of the year. My GP gave me a portable ecg device that I can use during an episode to track it but it only ever happens once and by the time I put the device on it has stopped. Can I stop worrying about it if they are not long enough

Tender Head after Stroke
I underwent heart surgery in July 2020, after which i suffered a stroke (i was in an induced coma for 3 weeks plus so no nothing about it). The hospital tells me that there were no long term effects from my stroke (short term it shunted my lower jaw to the right a bit and caused my tongue to twist and

BP Monitors and AF
My heart surgery was not able to resolve my AF, the surgeon ran out of time (11 hours i was 'under the knife'). Since discharge from hospital they are trying to get my medication right to resolve instances of dizziness and lightheadedness - as part of this process i have to record my BP using our Braun

Alternating heart beat
Hi, anyone else had this happen? Had ablation 6.5 months ago. Had a few periods of tachycardia, but hotter monitor showed nothing major. Had four episodes which lasted longer and I needed PIP. This week I've been rushing around and have probably done too much and yesterday morning I felt really tired

A thought for our loved ones.
My triple bypass heart surgery was recently cancelled at the last minute. Although disappointed I was OK about it. My wife however was very upset by the cancellation. She had built herself up for me to have the operation so emotionally it was a big come down. It got me thinking. When facing major surgery

Pain threshold?
Am I being a wimp & just need to man up? I really don’t know how I’m meant to feel or if the level of aches & pain I’m experiencing is ‘normal’ or as expected - can anyone tell me how they feel and deal with this ? I’m struggling in the mornings with stiff legs, lower back pain getting out of bed. Then

Help needed interpreting a Kardia report
The odd “quivering” heart sensation which I have now had for about 6 days continues every night. When I awoke this morning I took a Kardia reading whilst it was taking place and sent it off to Kardia for analysis. The finding is reproduced below. The bradycardia is known to my GP and cardiologist and

Chest Pain
Hi, my mum has recently been admitted to hospital with chest pain and shortness of breath, they thought she may be having a heart attack but having further test her arteries are all clear and they have put it down to either stress or her fibromyalgia saying this can cause chest pain, is this a common

Scientists discover how COVID-19 virus causes multiple organ failure in mice.
UCLA researchers are the first to create a version of COVID-19 in mice that shows how the disease damages organs other than the lungs. Using their model, the scientists discovered that the SARS-CoV-2 virus can shut down energy production in cells of the heart, kidneys, spleen and other organs. "This

Delayed heart surgery trauma?
Hello, I'm new here! I had open heart surgery at 10 years old (I'm now 21) and had my sternum wires removed 3 years ago. Recently I have been having really bad health anxiety - worrying about my general health and death/dying. I cannot comprehend the fact that I ever had heart surgery and the thought

I've been on Metoprolol for about three years now (low dose, half a pill morning and night). Can I wean off of it? If so, how?
I have had Afib, once recently that I was able to reset holding my breath. I'm not on a blood thinner. I'd like to see if it can be managed without the meds. I'm 66 and otherwise healthy. I had a some high blood pressure but cut almost all salt out and got that under control. I'd like to use supplements

Yes I will have the vaccination
Re Vaccination If I had seen the video of a heart bypass before my op I honestly doubt if I could have got through . I therefore preferred to put my head in the sand and let them get on with it. It will be the same with this vaccination. I would rather that than dying slowly of something I knew I could

Hi all, hope you can help me. I have been having problems with my heart for over 6 years now. Mostly Racing and ectopic beats. I have had many ECGs and had 24 hour monitor and one for 5 days. All they picked up was one episode of SVT which they did not seem bothered about. I am on a beta blocker but
