mum isn't following commands, after an open heart surgery and minor strokes . Is there hope ? 🙏
My mum is an outgoing person full of life however she was getting tired and out of breath going up and down stairs. The doctors did the full check up and found a leaky valve which needed operation before she gets too old. She is 76. The opeartion was a long and difficult one according to the doctors

My AF story (well part of it anyway)
Hi all, I've been on here a few times and thought I would share my AF story. I was diagnosed with IDC (Idiopathic Dialated Cardiomyopathy) around 18 years ago. After around two years I had my first atack of AF which was a shock so off to hospital i did go, lassted about 10 hours and went away. This happened

Not Flutter After All
A couple of weeks ago, following what I though was a particularly persistent episode of flutter, I posted asking about treatment options on our forum. My heart rate was bouncing around anywhere from 60 to low 90s. My medications had been increased by my EP but since there was no improvement after a

Hawthorn Berry certainly helps me with the occasional missed beats!
Hi All Hope this helps. I was a competitive cyclist from age 14 to 45 (70 now) and able to ride at 25 av. Then from 45 onwards rode with my own ability group at a decent pace. Then, of course, slightly slower each year! So, rode at 20 av at age 60 and 17 av at age 67 for example The missed beats started

Cardiac on top of MBC
Has anyone here had "open heart" surgery? I ask because besides the MILBC I've been living with for over 16 years, I've developed a couple of cardiac issues, a leaky mitral value and a-fib. My cardiologist referred me to a cardiac surgeon hoping one (open heart in which the sternum would be cut thru

I’m back! - Adrenal enlargement
With COVID getting in the way a lot, I have written on here before about a CT scan showing bilateral enlarged adrenals. I am in the process of getting surgery on my Aortic valve but this showed up too My hospital have finally set the wheels in motion to refer me to an endo before I have heart surgery

Your experiences after cryo ablation please.
Out if the blue last week, I received a text message reminding me of an appointment I had today. I had no details of this appointment and had not received any letter or communication. I went along expecting to see the usual AF nurse but I was sent to the pacing clinic and it turned out it was the pre-assessment

From stent to surgery
You may have seen my previous post but to recap, mum had a heart attack on Wednesday morning. She had a couple of stents put in to a blockage and went for another angiogram today. Unfortunately there is a calcium and fat buildup which is not suitable for stenting. She has been told she will have to

Ablation recovery update
Good morning kind people, Just wanted to let you know how things are progressing, and for some advice please. It is now 9 weeks since I had my ablation, and as I have already posted, I have been having problems with my blood pressure dropping very low, and feeling as if I am going to pass out when ever

Taking NSAIDs like Ibruprofen with other drugs
I've injured my hip and wanted to take some anti-inflammatories such as ibruprofen. I vaguely rememberred I was told not to take them at one poiints but thought it was because I was on betablockers.

A potentially silly question about chest pains
Hi all! So the question of if you're having chest pains with AF always comes up and, this may sound silly, but what does that really mean? What kind of chest pain? Sometimes I might get a very brief little digging pain (not very painful at all) under my breast that doesn't seem to be triggered by anything

New treatments for deadly lung disease could be revealed by 3D modeling.
A 3D bioengineered model of lung tissue built by University of Michigan researchers is poking holes in decades worth of flat, Petri dish observations into how the deadly disease pulmonary fibrosis progresses. The causes of pulmonary fibrosis are not fully understood, but the condition is marked by

Heart transplant v coping with A FIB
I have spoke to everyone before here; after surgery I was very down as most of us are and was trying to find someone I could talk to as my husband isn't very good at this. I did manage to find someone I could speak with, my health overall went up a step and I was able to do a bit more. I started a phased

TUBERCULOSIS AND TREATMENT
Hi all, I have been diagnosed with pulmonary TB. After months of struggling I finally am seeing a difference with medication. I still have a long way to go with the medication. My question is why do I feel so tired. Lately I have been sleeping more and eating less. I can only stick to one meal a day

Can lung cancer treatment lead to heart problems?
I had two adana carcinoma lessions removed from my right lung and had radiotherapy on my left one, last September and November respectively. I have recently been told I now have heart failure due to these procedures which has caused the enormous amount of water retention I have experienced. Has anyone
