Which type of valve?
Hi ,Thank you for letting me join this forum. Out of the blue I was diagnosed with needing mitral valve replacement surgery. It has been a shock. I have been told it is up to me which type of valve I choose, metal or not. Just wondered if anyone has any advice on this? I am 64. If I have the metal valve

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

Heart Valve Replacement - severe dizziness and breathing difficulties 1 year+ post op
Hi! My dad had his 3rd open heart surgery last July (2021) and he's been poorly ever since. He had a heart infection which went undiagnosed for months (despite lots of GP phonecalls) resulting in an emergency valve replacement (he was born with a hole in the heart and was due another soon anyway but

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

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.

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

ANY ADVICE
Hi everyone I have been AF free for nearly a year now. I have been taking 75 mg flecainide morning and night half of 125mg Bisoprolol in the morning, Apixaban and 20 mg Tamoxifen. Everything has been great. However in the past week I wake up every morning and my lips are stinging and cracked and

Afib and CAD double trouble and their vicious cycle
CAD (coronary artery disease) is a subset of a process disease called atherosclerosis, plaques of mainly fat build up inside arteries leading to intraluminal stenosis.. I post this one to draw attention to all of us, afibers, not trying to scare any of us. The purpose of this post is to do the right

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

Any help on a 10 year old please?
Hi, my 10 year old granddaughter had open heart surgery in September to repair 2 holes in her heart . She has come through it just fine - thank you GOSH - no issues at all really, all she wanted to do was cartwheel, she can...so she's well on her way to recovery. ....However since surgery we've noted

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

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
