Can anyone give me some info please?
I have been waiting for a heart monitor since February, and when I enquired about it, apparently the GP had forgotten to ask about it. I now have an appointment to get one on 22nd August. I was feeling that I was going to faint, so she cut my atenolol from 50mg to 25 mg, which has helped, but heart still

Echocardiogram Report - Bizarre as simply added to my NHS record.
I had heart surgery in February, 2020 to replace a bicuspid aortic valve with severe aortic stenosis and a dilated aortic root. Follow up as been a little lacking since discharge from the surgical team to my local hospital cardiology. I refused to accept telephone reviews, got a new consultant but

trapped nerves
my husband had open heart surgery 9 weeks ago which went well, the operation was over 8 hours. Since then he has numbness in his one hand. In the last few weeks he’s had pains in his hip and upper leg. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Thank you

Low Sperm Counts
Hi there. I received a kidney transplant 6 months ago. We want to have one more baby (we had three pre transplant and conceived them very easily) but a recent test showed I pretty much have zero sperm. Has anyone encountered this, and if so, did you find any causes related to kidney transplant...medications

Kidney Transplant Aug 25
What should I bring to the hospital for my 2-night stay? I live in a second-floor apartment. Will I be able to do the stairs? How many immunosuppressants are you on post-transplant, and for how long? I know the Mayo transplant team (Phoenix) will tell me some of this ... I'm just curious about

open heart surgery
Hi guys Just wondered if anyone has had surgery for either replacing or repairing a mitral valve and atrium valve? How were you after surgery and how long until you felt fairly ‘normal’ Thanks in advance.

Anticoagulants and PPIs
Hi everyone, I have just had an annual medication review over the phone with a pharmacist. I am taking Apixaban 5mg twice daily together with low dose Flecainide (50mg x 2 daily) and Bisoprolol (2.5mg daily). The latter to offset any possible side effects from Flecainide!! I have been in sinus rhythm
