Calling all patients who have had a heart valve surgery or a TAVI
Hello lovely ones! Some of you may know me already - I had a 2x CABG last Jan, aged 34. Well today is my 36th birthday! I am happy and healthy :D The reason I am posting is that I am hopefully moving in to the world of cardio industry, I was previously in clinical nutrition and artifical feeding.

Tachycardia- update
thank you all for the advice it really helped as I was getting a bit panicked about the high heart rate and not sure what to do. I haven’t taken myself to A&E yet! I took a Kardia ecg this morning and sent it to the hospital - came up as unclassified- just had a call back to say it is A-flutter- I

Tacycardia - how long before I go to A and E?
Well this is a new problem for me. I have AF and in the past year episodes have become much more frequent to the point where the ‘A’ word has been discussed and I am now on the waiting list for an ablation. During all the years with AF I have rarely had a problem with a fast heart beat - up to now

pacemaker and air pods
Does anyone have any experience with Apple Air Pods and their pacemaker. I’m going to have valve replacement surgery and my daughter thought they would be good for me. I was given Bluetooth ear phones before, to use with the TV but couldn’t use them, i kept getting static like noise through them, but

Short pulse like pain in chest
occasionally ( say once a month at most) I get a short spell of pulse like ripples of discomfort in chest ( normally left side). They last 2/3 seconds at most and over say a 10 min period. They aren’t always associated with just having eaten/drink and are t accompanied by sternum pain. I have had an

Left atrial enlargement
Hello!I was wondering if anyone has experience of this. What can be done about it, is it reversible with optimal levo? For context, I have Hashi's, I'm 51 and currently experiencing another bout of terrible anxiety ( last time was 5 years ago). Tests have discovered the enlarged LA. I don't have any

Actual appointment face to face with an actual human!
After being sent to A&E last November by GP, diagnosed with AF and discharged with meds, then an echocardiogram beginning of March, I have an actual appointment booked with an arrythmia nurse end of July! Still a little bit in shock that I'll get to talk to someone! Came about because my GP wanted to

pulsing discomfort in chest
I have been diagnosed with oesophagitis following a endoscopy. From time to time I get what I can only describe as uncomfortable ( not hugely painful) radiating pulses in my chest ( normally left side but not exclusively). They last say 2/3 seconds but in waves of about elapsed time of say 10–15 mins

Now need a stent or bypass
I posted on here a bit ago that I have been tired and out of breath ever since my 5th ablation last August. My cardiologist put it down to the Bisoporol I was taking but 3 months ago after seeing him and complaining he sent me for a ultrasound scan. All was OK then I wrote to him saying I am not

shoulder and arm pain after heart bypass
My friend had a quadruple bypass 4 weeks ago. He's had trouble with pins and needles in his arms and hands. The last 4 days a lot of pain in shoulders and arms which has lead to loss of sleep. He also has a cough. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

This is normal after a heart bypass, isn't it?
My husband had a bypass on Friday, a double if that makes a difference. 3 nights in ICU, chest infection, exhaustion and gibbering nonsense. Today moved into HDU and was so much more alert, talkative and seemed like his old self. Just had him on the phone to me, worried they were giving him too many

New to this
I had a hba1c test a couple of weeks ago and it came back as 48mmol had another one last week and it came back as 47mmol. I had a heart attack last December and open heart surgery in January could this be linked or something different? What changes do I need to make? Tia

Branded Apixaban V generic Apixaban
Well, something strange is happening.I have been bruising on my legs for the the last month or so and my bloods are ok with recent tests. I read an article on how generic brands of drugs can be absorbed by the body differently to the branded version. I questioned my pharmacist who had said it's unusual

Wenckebach and Tachycardia
Hello, what would be the treatment for 25 year old who regularly exercises but reaches 180-190s heart rate almost every workout, even Pilates. Constantly in 140s-150s heart rate just by walking. Resting HR high 80s. Already ruled out any deadly tachycardias. But they also have Wenckebach during wake

Took double dose of Apixaban and Flecainide
My 'foolproof' drug-taking regime broke down this morning and I took 5mg Apixaban and 100mg Flecainide twice within a couple of hours. Realised almost immediately what I had done and did the fingers down the throat over the loo manoeuvre - to no avail. Rang pharmacist and got the expected advice -
