Back Pain
Can anyone tell me what painkillers I can take for persistent low back pain. I have tried most of them but for some reason nothing seems to work. I have heart failure and CKD, so can’t take Ibuprofen. At the moment I’m on dihydrocodiene and paracetamol which I know is strong but unfortunately it doesn

I have just read the many replies to Hammerhead . His post was about his “ open heart surgery “ in Papworth , due in June. The reples show me how technically “ uninformed” I am . May be that is a good thing for me. But , I have to confess to being slightly jealous of other people’s care. in 2000 I

Bra tips
Hi, I would like some help. I had some very comfortable supporting bras bought from my heart surgery.Alas these haven't offered much support at all after my breast procedure and became too tight. I had underestimated how big my boob would swell after surgery, the haematoma and seroma didn't help Ideas

Why has my husband been given Candesartan when he hasn’t got high blood pressure . It must be for his stage 2 heart failure I presume .
My husband has been given this drug along with digoxin to add to his other meds , bisoprol , antorvaststin , Lansoprazole, edoxoban and dapagliflozin. He ll be rattling soon . He has been relatively stable . The ecg showed heart rate of 100 so I presume the cardiologist wants to lower it further . Is

metoprolol 25 mg and low heat rate
hi, in a situation where there is a low heart rate between 55 to 60 bpm when in afib, does it make sense to take metaprolol drug, designed to reduce the ventricular heart rate, amongst other things? my allopathic md prescribed this and i cannot help but feel a bit uncomfortable. i don't wish the heart

post open heart surgery
I had my third open heart surgery two weeks ago. I have noticed positive change to my health already but I have also noticed lack of interest and concentration. I have brain fog, forgetting to do things or hold a conversation for a significant period of time. Has anyone else experienced this?

ECG Wristwatch Option
I've been reading various posts about the utility of the Apple Watch heart monitor. I wanted to offer an option for those folk who don't live in the Apple ecosystem. I live in the Samsung ecosystem and have been wearing a Galaxy 4 & now 5 watch since I was Dx and successfully treated for Afib / SVT.

Disappointment after Ablation Number 4
I had my 4th ablation just two weeks ago and since then, have enjoyed two weeks of blissful NSR and a wonderfully steady heart rate of between 50 and 60 bpm.

Yoga after heart surgery
Hi All , good to be here in every sense. I had a surprise heart issue over a few days culminating in mitra valve repair 5 weeks ago via sternotomy. Discharged after 5 days on bisoprolol and warfarin both hopefully temporary. Follow up in two weeks I was a very active (59 year old) yoga teacher before

Open heart surgery and home!
So I wanted to say a big Thankyou to everyone who gave advice or has written posts in the past who have given advice on going through open heart surgery. Every single date I’ve had for surgery has been affected by the doctors strike and so I had begun to loose hope, when 12pm last Tuesday St Bart’s called

Update and Plan
Well, I feel pretty good about my EP appt. today. He was really succinct about a plan, goals, and end game. So he has proposed in ascending order, four medications to try. He is starting with the mildest and going to the strongest. He is recommending to start with Bisoprolol, then Verapamil, then Sotolol
