I've been getting prep fainting spells every day and breathlessness. I received a letter today saying I have right bundle

Anti-coagulants after (Aortic) heart valve replacement surgery?
Just comparing experiences re anti-coagulants with others who have had (Aortic) heart valve replacement surgery. For those with a ‘mechanical’ replacement valve, it’s straightforward – i.e., a standard requirement to go on Warfarin (or equivalent?) for life. However, for those who opted for a ‘biological

Heart bypass surgery
I had a heart attack almost 10 years ago and last week suffered another minor attack. I am currently in hospital as I had an angiogram but due to the extent of my heart disease I have been recommended for bypass surgery (subject to satisfactory scans etc). I have never had serious surgery like this before

Sinus rhythm with supraventricular ectopy.
Last December my Kardia mobile saw AFIB when I was sitting on a plane coming back from Egypt. It is not the first time, in fact there have been dozens of times when I have seen it. I went to the GP and he sent the kardia output to the cardiologist. Several cardiologists disagreed about the kardia

Valve knocking?
Hi All, hope everyone is doing OK. I had an aortic valve replacement 15 years ago and have been on warfarin ever since. Ive not had any real issues since however in 2020 I suffered a head injury (which I've posted about on headway forum). Since then I've been diagnosed with post concussion syndrome,

Help with symptoms in my 30s
Hi, so this is my first post so please bare with me, I was born with coarctation of aorta, multiples holes and ventricular septal defect.

Experiences with Metoprolol
I was dx with Parosyximal Afib in 2019 and, after the customary course of starting with a beta blocker - Metoprolol, which didn't work - and then adding flecainide which did help but not prevent breakthrough episodes, had an ablation on March 16 of 2022. After the ablation, I weaned off of the metoprolol

Medication interaction
I was recently diagnosed with AF and heart failure and prescribed digoxin and Bisoprolol as well as Edoxaban and now wonder if it is still safe to start my rescue pack on top of these. I have had Doxycyclin and 8 prednisolone daily prior to this. Also as breathlessness is supposedly a side effect of

Newly diagnosed angina
Just recently been diagnosed with angina after an episode of pain while running up a hill. I'd always thought the shoulder pain was connected to my brachial plexus pain, which was also diagnosed at same time (had it for years) and I was prescribed Gabapentin for this. The thing is this then cleared

Bisoprolol/flecanide/amytriptiline
Looking for some advice. I've been on varying doses of Bisoprolol for 2 years now, hate the stuff, feel lethargic and foggy headed and seem unable to lose weight, despite the fact I keep the dose as low as I can. The arrhythmia nurse did try changing it to verapamil and that led to the only AF episode
