update on the ecg I posted 2 weeks ago!
so was at cardiologist today for my 3 month post ablation follow up for AF. He’s thinking there is a good chance the AF has gone. I showed him the ecg traces from my Apple Watch which some of you had suggested bigeminy PVCs and that’s exactly what they are. He has me on a 24 hour monitor just now to

Pregabalin
I had a Laminectomy due to Severe Spinal Stenosis which initially provided 4 months of relief. It then failed and deteriorated again. After that I’ve also had open heart surgery with a Triple Bypass and Mitral Valve Repair. After collapsing last year I’ve now been diagnosed with Heart Failure. Unfortunately

Comparison can be good for the soul...
I do not often write on here but it seemed these musing may be of interest to others so here goes... ONE of the great advantages I find from attending the courses run by the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Service (PRS) is comparison. And after today's session I feel encouraged. Not that I am significantly

Sternum wires - going through airport security with metal!
Hello, I have sternum wires following open heart surgery a year ago, & am flying abroad soon, would I need a GP letter for the process of going through airport security with the metal in my chest? Thank you for any advice!

Officially on the lung transplant waiting list
Last Friday I made the decision to join the lung transplant waiting list after months of tests, conversations with the various medical teams and a whole lot of soul searching. Lung transplant was an option that I have thought about from a very early stage after my diagnosis and when the time came I think

Fluid around liver post transplant
Hi, I'm 2 years post liver transplant, and I'm currently in hospital for a kidney infection. Thankfully they seem to have got this under control, even though my kidneys are only working around 43%. The worry is that a CT scan has shown up some fluid around my liver. Pre transplant I never suffered with

Indigestion after Heart Attack
I had my heart attack last year. One stent. Now experiencing right chest pain sometimes in the evening. I often think I am having another heart attack but after going to casualty I realise it is indigestion. I have never suffered with this prior to the heart attack. The pain is bad. It can be difficult

Angiogram-who is to blame?
I was due to have an angiogram last Thursday but because I hadn't paused Apixaban for 3 days before I couldn't have it. The consultant who was to have conducted the procedure met me and simply said "these things happen" but we then had one of the most disagreeable consultations I have ever had afterwards

Vaccinations for covid19 done after Transplant: if you got covid19, what were symptoms and outcome
My spouse had his transplant 3.5 yrs ago and we both received our covid19 vaccination/booster shots afterwards. If you got covid19, what were your symptoms and outcome. If you know how you got it, please share. We have been living very isolated for 3.5 yrs. We do not go into anyone's house or allow them

Worries about having a stroke
Hi everyone, this is my first post. I’m a 51 year old female and I had mitral and aortic valves replaced last year so am on warfarin for life.
