pain in legs and joints
Since I had quadruple heart bypass I was on 11 new tablets .Everything was ok until I’ve been out on some new tablets.Now I am getting cramps,aching joints and I’ve had to stop going with walking groups because of pain in legs. The common denominator here seems to be aspirin,it seems to clash with every

Triple Heart Bypass
Just posting an update on my situation. I am now 5 weeks post op and have been progressing slowly, learning to live with the effects of the op greatly helped by all the responses to my original post. The pain is beginning to subside (very slowly) and my walking has improved and I am doing 30 minutes

worried in France
Because I live in France, if you go to the
surgery
and say it’s to do with your
heart
, they send you straight to A and E. so I don’t want to do this unless I have to. I take Bisoprolol 1.25 mg twice daily and have Flecainide as PIP.

Breast Cancer in Men
There was some concern about
surgery
because of my age and low
heart
rate but that's been cleared by the Cardiologist who says just stop the Bisoprolol before surgery. So the surgery option is still open.

Aunt not following commands after waking-up
My aunt underwent a clot removal
heart
surgery
and she woke on the next day, but the ICU staff are telling us that she is not following any commands. She is still intubated, because of this and will undergo a CT scan tomorrow.

Survivor tattoo
Hi Just thought I’d share my first tattoo with you, following my heart bypass on 18/01/23. The good part is that the area on my chest still has no feeling following the surgery.

GP appointment postponed
My family has been through he'll in the last 6 months, 4 deaths, both one parent had MAJOR
heart

Bradychardia
Can anyone reassure please ? I have been taking Bisoprolol for about 7 years now, and am on the high dose of 5 mgs twice daily now. This keeps my heart rate around 60 when I am sitting. Sometimes, if I am being lazy, the rate can be as low as 55, but perks up once I start doing things. However, this

Persistent afib treatment options, can't tolerate Amiodarone - so many questions...
I'm feeling rather lost at sea, I have so many unknows and questions so I'm sorry if this is a bit messy. Think I'm looking for your experiences and help with what I should ask the cardiologist about/for. BTW we live in the England so NHS. In short... Persistent new onset afib (always bradycardia) since

Anticoagulant changes
I wonder if any of you can advise me please on anticoagulants. I have been on Apixaban for some years and recently when I have had my repeat prescription from the pharmacy the manufacturer of Apixaban has changed four times. With the last one I experienced light headedness and with all of them tiredness

braccacardia symtoms
hi all I wonder if someone can give me some advice. I was diagnosed with AF a few years ago and so far my heart rate has been 65bpm when resting. This last 3 weeks resting heart rate has dropped to the low 50’s and twice dropped to 48 bpm. This does make me feel a little faint and sickly. Itake Bisoprolol

Apixaban
Hi there, I take Bisoprolol, Flecainide and until recently Edoxaban anticoagulant . However, spending much time in France I’ve found that Edoxaban is not accepted as a safe drug and I cannot get it in France . I changed to Apixaban which is available , and was previously recommended by my electro-cardiologist

I would like to say thank you to everyone who has replied to my post. Your responses have been very reassuring and I will certainly take on board all the advice I have been given. It seems that the doctors have to give a generalised timeline for recovery, whereas everyone is different and some may
