My mum is going to have ICD box - please share experiences :)
Hi, Until a few weeks ago, my mum didn’t (knowingly) have any heart problems but her resting heart rate went to 174 on her Fitbit and wouldn’t go down so she went to hospital. They had to give her a shock to get her heart rate down. They did an angiogram and realised she had 3 clogged arteries

Something Seems Off With my Smartwatch Heart rate Readings
I was given an IPhone Smart Watch for Christmas, but just started using it, the past couple of months. My question is with the accuracy of the heart rate readings. I usually wait at least 1 & 1/2 hours, after taking my Cartia, before I start a brisk 35-60 min. walk. Sometimes, my heart rate will register

Atrial Tachycardia
After two temporarily successful cardioversions (6 months af free each time) I had an ablation in May and all seemed to be going well. I remained happily in sinus rhythm for over three months until suddenly, out of the blue, my heart rate and blood pressure rocketed and I ended up in the Resus Department

Second ablation soon
Hello all I'm not actually sure right now what I'm looking for! I had an urgent cryo ablation in July2021. I was feeling awful almost like I was dying being in continuous fast AF for weeks was causing heart failure and my EP made me a priority as he was concerned. Apparent in October 2021 it wasn't

To do it or not to do it? Ablation and other things.
We often get asked "should I have an ablation?" and from time to time my answer has been "When the pupil is ready the teacher will come" meaning that when the AF is bad enugh you won't need to ask. This happened to me way back along when I declined the first offer of ablation but within six months was

Recovery post heart bypass.
My Grandad had a heart attack about 5 weeks ago, and subsequently was hospitalised. He then had a heart bypass just over two weeks ago, and thankfully he is now back at home. Since he came home he has struggled to sleep and has told my family and I that he is very dizzy, sick and tired. I can understand

Keyhole heart surgery.
Keyhole heart surgery. Has anyone experienced this surgery as I have found no proper information on the recovery process for this despite scouring for the information.

6 months after valve replacement and all is looking good.
I had mitral valve replacement exactly 6 months ago at Barts in London. It looks like people who are doing good are not writing on this forum. We usually see the others and therefore naturally think, after surgery people are not doing good. Its completely opposite in my experience. I had the OHS and

Ectopics
Good evening. I have recently been given the option to begin Flecainide for my ectopic heartbeats or learn to live with them (I find this very difficult). I've had open heart surgery but although successful, it didn't stop the ectopics at all. I've been on bisoprolol which I don't feel has helped

Update
I diagnosed with Flutter end of June 22 after a couple of trips to A&E. prescribed Edoxaban 30mg with Bisosporol 2.5 daily reduced to 1.25 mg daily as I already have low BP. Episodes of possible Flutter are happening at least once a week. I do have etopics apparently and one ECG showed narrow tachycardia

Pace and Ablate - Symptoms of Heart Failure after pacemaker and AV node ablation
My pacemaker was inserted three weeks ago for symptomatic persistent a-fib that no longer responds to meds, cardioversion, or ablation. I had to wait for the AVN ablation since I am sensitive to silicone and the pacemaker parts are coated with it. I haven't had any rejection symptoms therefore my AV

The Wrong Watering Can!
Morning all! Three weeks today since my ablation and all is well in NSR ever since🌝 Need to still remember though that it's early days. We have two greenhouses and raised veg beds . We are also lucky enough to have a spring fed well so we don't use a water hose but cans instead. MrW fills them and I
