Did I have a misdiagnosed heart attack?
I went to the ED a while back for flu-like symptoms and fever after a surgery. They admitted me due to elevated troponin levels (243) and tachycardia at rest (118bpm). I had an EKG, echo, and chest xray, but was only told they looked "fine". I was eventually discharged with the one word diagnosis "pericarditis

Aortic Valve Replacement - 45, but is mechanical the answer?
Hi folks 2 weeks ago I was diagnosed with a congenital aortic valve defect. I hadn’t really noticed any symptoms until very recently, and was misdiagnosed on several occasions too. I have been admitted to hospital for a fairly immediate valve replacement. Here at hospital in the last week I’ve had

Palpitations at night
I had a third ablation nearly three weeks ago and am in sinus rhythm, but I'm having trouble sleeping because of an uncomfortable thumping heart when I go to bed, that keeps me awake for a while, though it's OK in the mornings. After the ablation my consultant told me to halve my Bisoprolol dose,

RLS newbie
Hi all, I was hoping you could give me some advice about where to begin, as I'm finding reading through the posts, although very helpful, also overwhelming! I have self diagnosed as having RLS for about 20 years. It has been relatively ignorable until the last few years. Now it is affecting my sleep

Any help?
I am pretty much at my wits end with insomnia. My Father recently passed away, and I have struggled with ànxiety for many years. I actually live in Thailand, and have been seeing a psychiatrist for years, and I have been prescribed 0.5 MG clonazepam 2 times a day, and 2mg clonazepam at night, but

Are Anticoagulants necessary?
I was diagnosed with PAF over two years ago following two episodes of fast AF which lasted for less than six hours. I was given IV Metoprolol in A&E and discharged on Bisoprolol 1.25mg daily. I have been well and active since but my cardiologist is keen for me to take anticoagulants as my CHADsVASc

Tavr procedure
any body got information on tavr procedure. I am having aortic valve replacement and due to high white cell count I can't have open heart surgery now. Hoping its sooner rather than later. Thanks everyone 😊

More decisions!!
Well I saw Dr Pepper yesterday and all much as expected. I've moved to persistent AF and a cardioversion would be pointless. I keep self converting the back to AF. Sob. So options are... Live with it as long as my rate comes down to the 80s, so will be trying Digoxin after my holiday in Norfolk.

when to reduce apixaban dosage?
I am being monitored for kidney deterioration on a regular basis because of taking 5mg x 2 daily Apixaban. My latest blood test showed they are deteriorating slowly and am now in stage 2. I am nearly 80, and under 7stone 9. I feel as if I am between a rock and a hard place. I really really don’t

INR home testing
I’m fairly new to being on warfarin following valve replacement , but it’s taking awhile to get the dosage stable, despite tying to be consistent with my diet. The nurses at my surgery are great but recently my reading was very low just before we went away. The nurse suggested less green food and increase
