The importance of speaking to the right person & being persistent.
Well I went back into AFib 9 days after CV. Tachycardia, breathless ,light headed. I phoned the Arrythmia nurses number & was told it is a shame it didn't work but to get my Gp to do an ECG & send it to email.They would look at it & go from there.Probably decide to do a 24 monitor & see me in clinic.Waiting

Not to complain, but . . . maybe I need some reassurance?
I had a rough time in the recovery period from my cryo ablation at the end of June last year, after a promising start. Then, since October last year I've had a lovely period without any major problems. Sure, I'm sensitive now to whatever my heart is doing, and when I lie down in bed I can feel my heart

Fisiocrem
Has anyone tried fisiocrem? Sounds a bit like deep heat. I wondered if it's OK to use alongside pred. I'm not holding out much hope for it but I'm willing to try anything to sort out my neck ache! Here's the description of it: "Fioscrem soothing massage rub for use on tense and contracted muscle areas

Unsuitable for Aortic valve replacement
Hi, usually just soak up all the positivity and advice in here but now have a question relating to my 84 yr old dad. He is in hospital, having been rejected for a 2nd time for valve replacement (all within the last 12 wks). They have said the risks are too great for him. But surely the risks are also

Status Update Post-atrial Cardioäblation:
Had rapid atrial quivering/fibrillation develop in Feb '21 while I was focused on avoiding a second heart attack after having had a major one 9½ years earlier. Got put on meds to see if AFib could be managed that way but worsened to the point that by Aug, my heart was tracked at 244 BPM and I'd collapsed

Re earlier post on different forum.
A thorax CT in September identified coronary artery disease. An angiogram in November verified extent of above as moderate to severe calcification in the LAD vessel. You would have thought drug therapy would have commenced immediately to prevent either a stroke or heart attack but NO, it wasn’t until

Tomorrow I am having mitral valve replacement op at Barts due to mitral valve stenosis and severe regurgitation. It will be OHS. I will be admitted to hospital this evening. CT angiogram showed no issues with my arteries. EF is around 56%. I am 45 with no other health problems. I am hoping to write

Pains post heart attack
Three weeks after major heart attack and three stents fitted, I’m still getting the odd pain in my heart region. Sometimes I get a little pain in my heart while taking a deep breath. Sometimes it’s just a single pain and it goes and sometimes four or five pains each time I breathe. It was more so in

Night sweats
My elective heart surgery went horribly wrong. First a stroke and then a junior doctor in the stroke unit wrongly deciding that I was allergic to blood thinners and putting me on a drip of Vitamin K. Not a good move after a mechanical valve transplant with blood clots a real possibility. After two months

Me and my gizmo
I did a post yesterday about my open heart surgery and today this popped up - me with my gizmo - it is a spirometer which is linked by Bluetooth to my mobile telephone. I use it every other week t send test results to Nottingham City Hospital so that they can monitor my pulmonary fibrosis remotely.

4 weeks post redo AVR. I thought this information might be helpful to others in a similar place. I was noticing and getting a bit concerned about some increase in pain in and around the wound site and in the intercostal muscles. My cardiac event follow up nurse pointed out that this is a common experience
