Helping a parent through post op recovery
Hi, 1st post. As I travel home from London St Thomas's I reach out to anyone with advice as to how to best support and help my mum. We are four days into double heart bypass surgery and the sadness and anxiety about what lay ahead as well and truly kicked in (along with the AF)!!! I rack my brain

Back from EP after Cardioversion Failure
Now EP wants to try another Cardioversion in conjunction with amiodarone . I am concerned because I already have neuropathy in feet and fingers and I have read this medicine can worsen that. Anyone with experience with it?

Still breathless after 3 years of open heart surgery
end of 2019 I had open heart surgery to repair my mitral valve, close small hole and do ablation for fibrillation. Not getting proper aftercare or physio after the operation, I had to rely on an app for all that , due to the covid situation. I did my best and after we got back to proper cardio exercise

Good News Today
I just left my EPS office with good news. I actually thought I was having problems with my new pacemaker but the office it is true. Dr Saini kept raising my ECG print out telling me how wonderful it is and my echo was the same. For all purposes, my heart on there looks the same as anyone with a normal

HGV license after valve replacement?
Hi all, So a year and a half ago I had valve replacement surgery where I had a mechanical valve fitted. Im on a couple of different meds like warfarin and some beta blockers. But I'm back to 100% now and I'm looking at getting my HGV license as I'm pretty young and it's something I've always wanted

BP Home Machines
Hi, I know that home blood pressure machines are inaccurate when measuring whilst in arrhythmia, but does that just refer to the heart rate and not the actual BP? Thanks

Heart feels tired. Ramipril increase
Hi all Just thought I would ask..... About 5 weeks ago I noticed (particularly after eating) my heart feeling 'sluggish'. What I call 'mud for blood' - I used to get it often when I came out from open heart surgery in 2017, (two patches and a stent fitted). However it faded away over the course of a

ibuprofen gel
Currently unable to contact a pharmacist or doctor. Does anyone know of a topical pain killer gel I can take whilst on anticoagulants? Apparently, ibuprofen gel is a no-no. Thanks Thanks everyone, pharmacist confirmed I can use Deep Heat, Heat Patches and or, paracetamol.

Details around flecainide organising atrial fibrillation into an atrial tachy
Does anyone have any details around how/when this occurs and is it just a case of living with it? The nurses suggested I could try increasing flec from 50mg twice a day to 100mg, but if the flec causes the issues, I'm wondering if it would make things worse? I was put onto bisoprolol because of this

DP is going in to the Royal Infirmary Edinburgh later in the week, beds allowing, for a double /triple /quadruple heart bypass, they'll decide when they get in there.He's really laid back, not stressing because he's generally really calm, but I've got the churny stomach, jitters and can't settle.
