Mavacemten for HOCM
Just wanted to post for the first time on here about my experience on this new drug which I've now been on for a couple of weeks, for the treatment of HOCM. But first a bit of background. I've had HOCM for 15 years (that I know of). I'm 44 years old. Only in the last few years have I really had any

Understanding my GP's message
I am in permanent AF and taking Edoxaban, Bisoporol and Ramipril. Recently, at my GP's request I wore a 24 hour ECG monitor. Looking at the GP's referral for that on the NHS app it seems she suspected heart failure. Have just had a message from the GP which said ' 24hr ECG reported that the rhythm

Support For Partners Of Those Who Have Had Heart Attacks
I had a heart attack whilst i was on my own at home. I had just sat down to watch tv and was having a dip of JD & coke when i developed a pain in my chest. I thought it was indegestion as i hadn't eaten very well that day, but then i got pain in my wrist that spread to my hand. This was the alarm bell

Dr. Joel Wallach
Is there anybody who has heard of the teachings of Dr. Joel Wallach who says that AF is not caused by a condition of the heart but instead because the Vagus Nerve is being "pinched", either along the spine or at the head where it enters the skull. As you may know, the Vagus Nerve goes down the length

Scared. Mind is racing. Mom needs heart surgery.
I've posted before kind of on this topic but since I've become more agoraphobic and neurotic and shut down and hiding in my house. My mom needs heart surgery. She is my best friend. She is 82. I am 47. I don't have a partner or kids. I have a brother. He helps sometimes but he isn't completely emotionally

Good News…..
In August I became ill with what amounted to heart failure symptoms, breathlessness, fluid on lungs, circulation issues. A bnp test came back with moderately high readings for heart failure (1300) . I eventually had an echocardiogram and have been waiting for the results. Meanwhile I discovered that

Catching a cold when you have fibro - turns out it’s COVID fml
Do you find that when you catch a cold you are affected much worse than other people around you? I never get ‘just a sniffle’. I always say I’m a woman who gets man flu. My partner went to work right through his cold even though he felt quite rough. I just got up to make a drink and dragging my body

Ablation appointment take two …..
Deep breath and all fingers crossed, I’ve been given provisional appointment for cryoablation end of this month. They need to use an internal echocardiogram on me (ICE) due to previous heart surgery and clot risk. There is only one such thing in the locality which is why they had to cancel todays appointment

Third Attempt.and Fail
Well, Made a trip four hours away to another EP to attempt another ablation for Atrial Tachycardia. Yet again, now a second time, this ridiculously elusive rhythm evaded them and they could not do the ablation . Not sure what options that I have left to me now. Probably will have to take Metoprolol,

My T story
Hi, I had Open Heart Surgery for Mitral Valve prolapse in June 2022, Occular migraines started straight away, followed by 24/7 tinnitus which started in March of 2023, I am convinced there is a connection to the surgery, but who knows! I moved to USA in 2009, prior to that I was born and lived in Manchester

medication after open heart surgery
is there anyone on this site who has had a heart valve replacement and is now using biologic meds to control their ra? If so, I’d love to hear your experience. I was born with a bicuspid aortic valve which needed replacing in June (an event hastened by a toxic reaction to leflunomide). I’ve had an Inspiris
