Heart Failure
I contracted Covid in March and at which time I was also diagnosed with AF. I have had several Doctors and Hospital appointments and each time my Medications have been increased changed and most recently one tablet removed. I find it slightly unsettling each time a medical professional refers to it

Irregular heartbeat after AF episode
Last night my OH had his second AF episode, first one was about 22months ago for which he was hospitalised. Since then he has been on Bisoprolol 1,25mg once daily and Apixaban 5mg twice daily. He was told if he had another episode to take “pill in pocket” once, which is a 5mg dose of Bisoprolol. This

Little boy with a serious heart condition needs help. Please read..
Thanks for taking a second to look at this for me. I'm currently 7 years old and have a serious heart condition, called a double inlet left ventricle. It means my heart doesn't have enough pumps and Chambers to function how it should. My condition is life threatening and life limiting, and will result

Long term medication effects
Hi all. Perhaps one or two of you out there are able to advise from your own experiences. I had a quadruple heart bypass in December last year, so I'm now almost six months post-op. As does everybody who goes through this situation, I have been put on medication, as prescribed by my cardiologist. Just

The blanking period after ablation
I didn't think it was possible to hate AF more than I did before the ablation. Constantly waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to get a decent night's sleep. It wasn't always like this but it has been getting worse - probably 5-6 times a week. And then an ablation is offered - light

We are so very nearly there! (C section booked for next week) Then our new challenge begins - trying so hard to be hopeful! 🤞🙏💙
Just a little update from me for anyone still following our (very long) journey so far! We have been TTC for 8 years now. 6 fresh cycles, 7 transfers & multiple losses later and we are finally booked to have a c section next week. I cannot quite believe it. It is a time of total mixed emotions right

Diet and AF
I had been suffering from AF in various forms, latterly persistent, for about 15 years. I had Mitral and Aortic Valve replacement surgery 10 years ago and two weeks ago I had Catheter Ablation. I have been in Sinus and feeling good since my Ablation, until last night. I woke at about 3am in AF.

Buzzing!!
OMG OMG! I've just completed W5R2 - two 8 min runs. I am absolutely buzzing!! This time last year, I was still recovering from a double heart bypass after having had a completely unexpected heart attack in Dec 20. And now I'm running and, more importantly, enjoying it! I did have a small emotional moment

Scuba Diving/Snorkeling
When I had surgery, 9 years ago, for a valve replacement, triple bypass and a couple of other procedures, I read that it wouldn't be safe to do scuba diving/snorkeling. I had only ever been snorkeling anyway, so didn't worry about it. However, I have just booked a holiday to Australia, and of course,

CoQ10 dosage and when to take ?
I have CLL and my hematologist approved CoQ10. CoQ10 is recommended in Mayo litererature, for those with no counter-indications. But I lack good information about how many mg CoQ10 that I could ingest daily, and when to take the cap or caps . Thus, I would appreciate guidance. Also suggestions

The link between bradycardia and hypothyroidism
I had a successful Cardioversion via my previous surgery/private cardiologist some months ago but have been struggling in the last couple of months with bradycardia (bpm low 50’s ) ache across chest and episodes of falling asleep when I don’t feel especially tired (could this be syncope?) Im aware

Oh My God 😯 Three dazed and confused Cardiologists.
Some not so junior heart specialists just admitted they don't know what to do with me. An angiogram showed a narrowing of the Lateral Anterior Descending coronary artery that's near two smaller branches. I've unsucessfully tried three vasodialating medications but can't tolerate them due to constant
