Anti coagulants or blood thinners?
A friend has recently been diagnosed with AF and another friend told her one of her drugs was a blood thinner. We were on a zoom call and I chipped in saying it wasn't a blood thinner it was an anti coagulant. The friend said that her husband (with AF) was on blood thinners. I started to doubt myself

Anyone had a coronary sinus reducer?
Basically my bone marrow
transplant
and other treatment for leukaemia has likely caused my
heart
disease. Since 2019 I have had 5 angiograms and 3 angioplasties. I'm urgently awaiting another one of each.

Phrenic Nerve damage on top of everything else.
Morning all Please help me pick the bones out of this one. Just wondered if anyone on here had their Phrenic nerve damaged during their open heart surgery? I saw my Thoracic surgeon yesterday, and he said it was quite common, but I've never heard anyone talking about it on here. It causes paralysis

Husband’s first Docetaxel, day 4 and struggling
Hi all, Is there a posting or other source listing details and ways to victoriously endure 6 rounds of Docetaxel? My husband is 70 stage 4 . He is on immune suppressants due to a prior liver transplant. He was given Neulasta for the day after Docetaxel(D). His biggest struggle right now is sleeplessness

Hi All. First time on here. I’m currently being worked up at Boston VA hospital for a kidney transplant. Being a veteran, the VA will pay for transplant at a community hospital here in Boston. I’m not sure exactly what to expect… any thoughts? Thanks in advance

Liver issues and leg pain?
Fairly random question but while I wait for a drs appointment I thought I'd ask....I am awaiting a liver transplant for PSC and I'm getting those dulcit aches in my side that usually indicate imminent cholangitis, but! Whenever this happens I get really bad sharp aching down the outside of my upper leg

Counting the days to an ablation for Focal Atrial Tachycardia
Tanta Anna follow up! Has anyone had this type of ablation? It’s my sixth ablation! This has been an awful experience for the last four months- now weaning off atenolol, which may be feel very ill. Stayed on that medication after many other trials. I am in the US, traveling 1000 miles to Dr in

Feeling Disappointed
Following an ablation for SVT in January 2021 I have been problem free for two and a half years (at least heart wise). I began to feel breathless about three weeks ago and now am experiencing fairly regular runs of af. I have had an ablation for af in the past as well as surgery to repair leaky valves

Doing the rounds of doctors again.
Early last month I went to Japan and met my daughter who's living over there. As we set off I was getting quite short of breath and my daughter (who is a doctor) started quizzing me as to why I was short of breath. I did try to brush it off-saying I was old and unfit but she kept persisting and told
