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

1st 10K run!
Eight months post double heart bypass have managed to run my first 10K! Been a long recovery and still got some way to go but really trying to turn over a new leaf and make the most of my second chance. Good luck and best wishes to us all!

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

Apixaban issues
I have been ob Apixaban now for an number of years. But lately whenever I am having a blood test I seem to be having issues with either the vein not giving enough or just collapsing. But when one is found it then refuses to stop for some time. When I was on warfarin for over 20 years I did not have

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

AF?
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

Open heart surgery
Hi, I had surgery on the 11 of this month to repair my mitral valve, fix small hole in the heart and do ablation at the same time. Op went well but here we are nearly 3 weeks later and I still have pain , especially in my left side, with taking painkillers it wakes me up after about 5 hours sleep.

Newly diagnosed with cardiomyopathy
Hello everyone. I was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy last week and am pretty shocked and disappointed as I had open heart surgery (aniloplasty) to repair my mitral valve in June 2018 and my cardiologist has always said I was doing very well at my regular checkups since then. Last week's FEVI was 41%

Heart rate problem.
Hi folks, had heart surgery 14 months ago. Mitral valve repair. Felt great for 9 months then ectopics, 22%. Lasted about 2 months then gradually faded away to almost nil. So that's great, except that now occasionally when I lie down in bed to sleep my heart rate suddenly ups a gear to around 100 per

Shoulder pain following open heart surgery. One year on!
Good morning, I had open heart surgery over a year now. I was made aware at the time that I would experience some 'uncomfortable' pain in my back and shoulders for some months after the op, from where my body is manipulated during the procedure. It has since been over a year and I am suffering with terrible

Lol) I’m a teacher and normally racing around so I find it hard to just ‘sit’. Anyway I’ve felt quilt well

I have to admit that I have avoided this forum because I am still so scared of my condition. I have my first Cardiologist appointment on Thursday and I am absolutely terrified of what will happen and feel like a complete coward. I have possible heart failure of which afib is only one symptom. I had other

What do I do?
Have just had a phone call from my health centre. The doctor is concerned about my cholesterol level. (10). This was the level I had when I was first tested on a whim whilst in holiday over 20 years ago. I watched my diet and got it down to 6 something but doctors said I should go on statins. Was given

Dressler’s syndrome, a form of pericarditis
Has anyone on here experienced Dressler’s syndrome, this is a form of pericarditis which develops after heart surgery? There is very little information about this condition as it is quite rare nowadays

Ablation No 4
I had my 4th ablation on Friday at the Royal Brompton and have ended up with a pacemaker due to Sick Sinus Syndrome. Apart from the usual tiredness and bruising I feel fine. Have noticed a few ectopic beats but after being in AF since mid July it's nice to see NORMAL on my Kardia. All the best Tim
