Post cryoablation
I had my ablation on Friday 16th Dec 2022.Everything went fine but I was on the operating table for about 5 hours. I have a narrowing in my oesophagus so access was difficult. Anyway I had bad chest pains on the Monday night so went to A&E where I had blood tests which found I had a rising Cardiac Troponin

Hello from a newbie
I'm new on here, having been diagnosed with bicuspid aortic stenosis. My consultant has told me I'm now ready for a valve replacement. I'd like to chat to others who have had an aortic valve replacement.

struggling with neck pain :( help pls!
I first was diagnosed with fibromyalgia back in 2020 when I started having aches and pains in neck shoulders feeling tired all the time, funny heads as I used to call them, memory issues, stressed all the time and really deflated about everything. I could never relax and always overthink everything.

Mandatory 4 days in office and heart condition
Hi All, I had a triple heart bypass 5 years ago (aged 45). Aside from fatigue from taking the various heart meds I'm doing ok (touch wood). Our company has just sent out an email informing everyone has to come into the office 4 days a week and its a mandatory requirement. I'm currently working from

New Here — Most Recent Arrhythmia
Hi, all — I initially posted this to the Afib Forum but just found this group, which seems more appropriate. I was experiencing episodes of tachycardia sometimes lasting up to a half hour or so. Being a non-cardiologist, my first thought was Afib and, indeed, that’s what my Apple Watch said. I ended

Dofitilide without Afib??

Apprehensive
I have had Furosemide added to my prescription due to fluid retention in my feet and ankles, due to mild heart failure associated to persistent AF. There are loads of side effects associated with it. GP says we have to monitor kidney function closely as I am stage 3CKD. Just wondered if anyone on here

AF and now coronary artery disease at 47. I recently had a CT angiogram and the results aren’t great. Back to being scared and worried.
So I first came on this forum with my Afib diagnosis and was terrified and depressed about the diagnosis and medications. I had good news from my echocardiogram as I had no damage at all. The last hurdle was a CT angiogram sadly I’ve not made it so well past this hurdle. I’m absolutely gutted to be honest

Apixaban skin reaction?
I’m having the most awful burning, itchy, inflamed skin on my face that’s come on suddenly over the past couple of days. Im wondering if it’s related to the Apixaban that I’m on. Has anyone else had such a reaction? I have tried an otc antihistamine to no avail so if anyone knows a remedy I’d love

Bisoprolol
hi I’ve been on Bisoprolol fumerate 1.25mg for a few months for a slight irregularity that was seen on a 24 hour heart monitor. My blood pressure is on the low side but since my valve replacement I have symptoms. The beta is making those symptoms a little worse. I will ask my specialist but was wondering

New way to trigger an episode apparently
So I've been successful in remaining episode free since I had that short VT episode a bit over 2 weeks ago now. Last night I was using a deep tissue massager, and I pressed somewhat harder on a sore spot near bottom left back, I clearly felt my heart bump into AF. I then had AF (and not super fast

A Tip!
if you have AF ( with a family history of heart disease as I have) and start getting angina-type symptoms, don’t waste time trying to convince yourself that’s it costocondritis as I did. . Get yourself checked out with an angiogram as soon as possible. In my area it has one of the shortest waiting lists

moderate mitral regurgitation
my echo said I had moderate mitral regurgitation. I have been short of breath and fatigued. My EP has me on Flecainide for A Fib but read you shouldn’t take it if your heart is not structural sound. Does moderate mitral regurgitation qualify as not having a structural sound heart. Tried to look it up

Failed Back Surgery
In 2017 I had a Laminectomy for Severe Spinal Stenosis in L3/4/5. The operation was successful and for 3/4 months I was completely pain free for the first time in years! In 2018 I had a bad fall and this resulted in having a Rotator Cuff Repair which was successful but by now my spinal pain was back
