Q10 Supplement
My chiropractor suggested I might benefit from taking a supplement called Q10 gold. The research I did was quite interesting done by Pharma Nord, seems their studies with people with heart problems eg heart failure also CABG mortality rate reduced considerably, also enhanced energy levels etc. My Chiropractor

4th Open Heart Surgery - Valve Replacement
Hi! My dad is having to have his 4th OHS in the coming weeks and I'm feeling a bit scared and anxious about it all. His last one was only in July 2021 - they are replacing the same valve that was replaced last time plus another one. Does anyone have any experience of having 4 open heart surgeries? Many

Bisoprolol 1.25 dosage. Coming off it?
Bisoprolol? I am on a very low dosage, 1.25 ml., and have been for more than a year. Over past months I have felt incredibly tired (sleeping for too long overnight/having naps during the day) and have been totally lacking in energy with no real interest (I don’t feel depressed) to move myself. On monitoring

Suffered since childhood
Here's what works for me... I've been able to manage (pain and discomfort) RLS a couple different ways..In the beginning I used requip and Ultram until Ultram because a so called problem drug(I never had any issues with it) I used it for a couple of years before requip became available and then used

APIXABAN
Just got home from the ER. I had a CT scan done of my head and everything was fine so they let me drive home. There is a lot of discussion and worry about "apixaban" and bleeding and other problems. I want to put everyone's fears to rest. Got mad at myself about 3 hours ago and slammed my head against

Ascending aortic aneurysm diagnosis
Hello everyone. I am a 54 year old woman who has had an incidental finding of a thoracic ascending aortic aneurysm. I have been told it's 4.4cm and they will monitor with CT scans but that the size that an operation will be necessary is 5.5cm. The surgeon explained this involves open heart surgery

Can you help with this Kardia ECG strip please? Kardia say it is sinus rhythm but I’m not so sure
Reported by Kardia as sinus rhythm. I wonder if it is slow atrial flutter or heart block. I have had permanent atrial fibrillation for years after ultimately unsuccessful ablations. I only take an anticoagulant but last night I was batting along at 112 per minute during a tense online chess game so

Heart failure
I had a P and A in 2021 to stabilise my fast heart rate in Permanent AF. Although still in AF, I thought that was my heart sorted. Last year I had pneumonia and then at Christmas another chest infection, that has taken until now to sort out. As I am still breathless and very fatigued, I had a chest

are you sticking with riveroxaban or asking to change to Apixaban in light of recent research?
after heart attack, cardiac arrest leaving me in continuous AFib for 3 months requiring a cardio version ( heart attack caused by blood clot cholesterol normal) I’ve been on all the heart medications including riveroxaban with no real problems from the medications. I now have reduced ejection fraction

Afib and cholesterol
Have any of you been put on statins just because you have Afib ? As you all know I had my ablation last November and recently had my bloods done and my cholesterol was 5.7 so I was told by the doctors receptionist that I have two choices I either book an appointment to see the nurse about it or I can

tricuspid regurgitation
During my last echo it has been noted that my tricuspid has moderate to severe regurgitation but with my surprise the cardiologist is not suggesting any intervention. I must say I’ve got congenital heart disease with many open heart surgeries on my shoulders, heart failure, a tons of meds prescribed

A-fib free since ablation 18 months ago but now suggesting Apixaban
I have found this forum so useful since having my first paroxsymal a-fib occurrence two years ago at age 63. I had several occurrences of a-fib with fast heart rate of 110-150 bpm. Fortunately these all self-corrected to NSR within 1-4 hours. I am fit and not overweight and the a-fib usually happened
