Are you taking BISOPROLOL for Heart Rate control? What are your experiences with the Pulse Rates on this drug.

Four days ago I had my second episode triggered I suspect by a pain killer that I have been taking for years. Since coming out from this my

Know About Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is one of the most commonly performed open heart surgeries. Generally patients with severe coronary heart disease undergo this type of surgery. In this type of surgery a healthy artery or vein from the body is grafted or connected to the blocked coronary artery.

Anyone on a plant based diet here? And does it help with AFibb?
Hello all, I've been toying with the idea of changing my diet to Plant based. Many years ago in my 20's.... I went vegan but went back to eating meat after a few years. I never mastered vegetarian cooking and am not a huge fan of Legumes (beans!) But I'm willing to try anything to find some well-being

LA and COVID
Hi all, I hope you’re well! This news just came out. https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/88044 LA might lead to thrombosis in COVID-19. Not really a surprise though :) Anyway, they also mention that blood clots still occur with LA on anticoagulation with COVID. They recommend

Cancer with APS
I’ve been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I also have AFib. The oncologist is suggesting chemo plus the Whipple surgery. How dangerous is all of this when you have APS. I also have COPD. I feel that this will be the end of my life. Last year I had my aorta valve replaced by the TVAR method. Info

Blocked Artery
I live in Spain and was diagnosed with Angina some years ago and prescribed medication. After a few years my condition got worse I was given an angiogram, when they discovered a totally blocked artery. I was told that it was impossible to fit a stent and that it was not necessary to have a heart bypass

Cause of my afib
I think I may finally know the cause of my afib which I actually found out on my own. My cardio Drs didn't send complete results of the heart tests they did on me when I was in the hospital in June and told I had afib. I had chest x-rays before all that that had shown I had haziness in a lung. And first

Algesal Cream
I have found something that helps. When my legs start getting painful, it always starts in a different place, arch of my foot, back of my knee, thigh, calf, really random. As soon as I feel it, I rub my leg to see where it's painful and massage it with this cream. It seems to work! It also works

I'm new here, Oxygen when going out and about
I have just been discharged from hospital and my long term oxygen has been increased to 8 LPM when resting and as needed from 10 to 15 LPM when doing any movement. I can no longer have a conserver on my oxygen when moving with my ambulatory cylinder in a carry bag, so oxygen only lasts 45 mins. Is anyone

Miracles do happen!
My experience is very similar. My partner suffered cardiac arrest 8th June. Sedated for 2 weeks but responding to pain tests. MRI was suggested as clear as was CT scan. Although he did develop a chest infection which delayed the removal of ventilator. When they lifted sedation he pulled out his feeding

PAF to persistent
I have been in AF for 2.5 weeks now. Normally always reverted to sinus rhythm before 7 days. Any suggestions on what I could do to help convert back. Do you think it can still be possible that I revert? I’m on 1.25mg Bisoprolol and apixaban. My dosage of Bisoprolol had to be reduced almost 2 years ago

Hopefully the next week will tell..!
Hi all, appointment went well, ECG proved what I already knew. Two things, still in Sinus Rhythm & low pulse, but Blood pressure good at 134/62. So dropping my Bisoprolol down to 2.5mg for the coming week with another appointment due for next Wednesday. Can't argue with that.
