Zephyr Valve for lung volume reduction.
My pulmonologist is submitting a request to perform this treatment option on me in the fall. Does anyone have experience or know anyone who has had this procedure? I hope all of you are breathing easy. Thanks, James. https://www.breathestrongamerica.org/zephyr-valve/

My family has just had a very impactful experience, my son who is 22, had open heart surgery twice in the same month and we nearly lost him the second time around. He was in the hospital for 9 weeks all in total, but within that 9 weeks what he went through and what he saw day in day out, was patients

Spoken to GP at length this morning regarding this awful fatigue I am suffering from, and how awful I’ve felt since starting Amlodipine. He agreed reluctantly that as I’ve been slightly better since stopping Amlodipine a week ago he would remove it from my prescription, but has increased Cozar (Losartan

Ross procedure - left shoulder pain and sore neck muscles
Hi all, I had the Ross procedure on 8th June 2022 (my 3rd valve replacement surgery). Due to the complexity of the op, it took approx. 10 hours to complete. Naturally my neck muscles.. all of them and so fricken tight! And my left shoulder often feels very achey 😣 Does anyone think when I’m well

Can Bradycardia trigger AF? and Bisoprolol !

ablation report
So, I arrived at the Golden Jubilee Hospital in Glasgow at 0730 this morning. I was called in to a room in ward 2c where I donned a rather fetching but rather revealing gown and filled out all the required forms. The staff were warm and welcoming and very reassuring. Around 0800 the surgeon who also

I have a kin interest in learning from anecdotal experiences.
Hi everyone, I read with interest many of the posts about AF that are similar to my issues and that is seems food is a trigger but mort interestingly I think chemicals in the food. I stopped all alcohol that didn’t seem to help. I eat organic and non GMO exclusively but when I eat at certain restaurants

Just diagnosed AFib
Hi, I am reaching out to you because I was just diagnosed with A Fib as well as an irregular heart beat and prescribed Apixaban (and Metroprolol to use if my heart goes out of control -it has a couple of times). Can anyone tell me if I should have any concerns about Apixaban. What I can expect.

Apixaban monitoring
Has anyone else in the UK been summoned by their GP for weight and blood tests for Apixaban monitoring, it does appear to be NICE guidelines but first for me.
