weak left radial pulse after ablation
Hello everyone my latest concern after my ablation 3 weeks ago is I have noticed my usually strong pulse on my left wrist is now very faint, with the one on my right wrist stronger than pre ablation. I saw my GP today who said he agreed but had not come across this before and mentioned something about

Question for anyone who has had Open heart surgery
A month ago I had OHS and went straight into Afib. I have had a pacemaker inserted 2 years ago. I had a cardioversion yesterday and I feel like I’ve gone back to week one with the pain on my right boob. I want to know from anyone who’s had this surgery if their breasts were soooo sore. I do have

Off the AF meds, scared!
Has anybody got a similar experience of coming off the meds so soon, it just seems early days I spoke to my Cardiologist last week, after an ablation in September I was tachycardic and a cardio version was required in December. Sinus rhythm restored and February 7th he took me off both the beta blockers

Exhausted but happy.
I spent seven hours at the lung transplant clinic at Harefield yesterday. I was weighed and measured many times, sometimes with boots (dockers!) on sometimes off, ECG, echocardiogram, chest xray, blood tests, blood pressure test, lung function test, urine test, and finally mrsa test! Everone

Sternum discomfort week 11 after bypass.
Hi guys, I'm now at week 11 after double heart bypass surgery. Surgery went well, but very bad wound infection and had to be rehospitalized. After all the infection hoo ha, I'm doing well and generally feeling good. My chest area currently feels really tight, and whilst it doesn't hurt to breathe in

COVID VACCINE MANDATE
My ex husband is in need of a kidney. He has been evaluated at 2 separate centers but they refuse to list him unless he gets the COVID vaccine. This seems an unreasonable requirement since the long term effects of the vaccine are unknown in kidney transplant patients. He will be looking into other

Does Tacrolimus cause forgetfulness for anyone?
I recently was speaking with a recent kidney transplant recipient, and he has memory lapses, sometimes forgetting conversations he's had. His nephrologist said it can be the Tacro as it is one of the possible side effects. He's being switched to another medication. I had not heard this, and just

IVIG after heart surgery and stopping IBRUTIMIB
12 months ago I was on an Ibrutinib clinical trial for my CLL. Ibrutinib worked great for me for years. I found out I needed a triple bypass due to 95% LAD artery blockage. Not good! A stent wasn’t an option in my case due to necessity for blood thinners. Can’t do blood thinners, aspirin and Irbutinib

NHS Blood and Transplant are seeking the views of patients on living donor liver transplantation
Living donor liver transplantation emerged across the world in the early 1990s in response to the shortfall in available donor organs for patients in need of a liver transplantation. Since 1998, paediatric centres in the UK have been offering living donor transplantation for children on the active waiting

Replying to enquirer "fifteen".
You sent me a message asking for a paper on hypothyroidism and left ventricular failure. I've found this that might be of use: Br Heart J. 1982 Sep; 48(3): 278–284. doi: 10.1136/hrt.48.3.278 PMCID: : 7104121 Left ventricular function in hypothyroidism. Responses to exercise and beta adrenoceptor

Dry Eye Syndrome
Quick question. I was at opthalmology today re another matter and whilst there he diagnosed Dry Eye Syndrome. He said it was most likely another autoimmune condition I had. He said it would be a lifelong condition with drops a cream for my eyes. Has anyone else with alopecia been diagnosed with this.

Persistent afib
I thought I was okay now I'm in persistent afib ( since September 2022) but looking at the posts from yesterday's health unlocked (estesbubba post) people are saying it's not good to be in persistent afib as it causes the heart to work harder and then become enlarged and that can lead to heart failure
