Hello from a Newbie
I’ve had palpitations for years, however, the GP has never been able to trap them, in November I went for a routine ECG and was informed I was in AF, at long last it was trapped, I was so relieved as I was starting to think it was all imagined. I was sent to Ambulatory Care, another ECG, not in AF again

3 days since PVI: is this normal?
Hi Ive never posted before but have read the useful information shared by members so asking for advice and reassurance. I have Paroxymal AF and had a PVI cryo ablation on Monday. the first few days were as expected: bit breathless, missed beats, tired. I thought things were slowly improving until last

Post AF ablation
Hello, My 65 year old father, who suffers from heart failure and AF, underwent his first AF ablation 3 days ago. Doctors didnt really tell us what to expect during the recovery period so seeing my dad struggle that much is very difficult for me. 3 days post op, he is still coughing a lot, has a headache

SWOLLEN HAND
30 months past a heart bypass and 6 months past a pacemaker and in last month been waking up with swollen left hand and wrist. I do sleep on my left side and wear a watch.

TiredofIBS
Anyone here has experienced getting Afib after strong orgasmic event? Been shocked back into sinus rhythm but cardiologist does not feel this event caused my Afib but my mitral valve regurgitation. No question it was the strong orgasm as I experienced strong heart abnormal beats like your heart was going

Permanent AF?
The day has finally come where I went to hospital with sudden onset AF to be told that they won’t do anything. I’m to stay on my meds, flecainide and bisoprolol and to go back if I get severe symptoms. They have said a resting heart rate of 130 is fine because I am haemodynamically stable. I am ( still

Xenotransplantation of pig heart
Hello everyone. I’m sure we have all read about the recent pig kidneys transplanted into humans successfully. Well, it appears it’s been done again but this time it looks like a heart transplant was done. It’s too early to tell, but this case here seems to be more beneficial towards making it a reality

Pain and breathlessness. Specialist says I'm not breathing properly. He has referred me to physio for breathing correctly!
I had a heart bypass op some 20 years ago. I've been diagnosed with my left diaphragm not working properly. Other specialists have said it's asthma and yet another specialist said I've got lung disease. I can only push out 200 to 250 on plastic thingy, sorry forgot what it's called, and have pain

Severe angina symptoms without significant obstruction
I am new to this forum and wonder if anyone can cast any light on my symptoms. Saw GP at the end of August last year with breathlessness on exercise and she diagnosed possible angina. Only 3 weeks before I had spent a whole day working on my allotment but by the time I went to the GP I was struggling

Still irregular pulse
Hi, I have had PAF since 2014. I am lucky that I don't have many symptons apart from a slight thudding feeling in my chest and an irregular pulse. The episodes used to be monthly then I had 6 in a couple of weeks, but for the last 3 years they've been very intermittent for which I'm very grateful. An

AVR Worrying Research
Have seen recent research about valve replacement that says, "This data suggests that a 42-year-old patient undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR) with a tissue valve is expected to live to 58 years of age. In contrast, a 42-year-old in the general population is expected to live to 78 years of age
