Do I still have angina?
I was diagnosed with angina about 7 years ago and after quite a few lifestyle changes I had it under control....I haven't needed to use my spray for years. Three months ago I had a heart attack and had two stents fitted to my LAD, apart from a couple of minor issues with dizziness if I stand up too quickly

Neuropathy treatments
Unfortunately as we all know, good treatment for neuropathy is generally poor. I've tried as most people have everything. The only way I control my feet neuropathy is plenty of walking icing and messaging with deep heat before bed. The only medication I take is ibuprofen - one table 400mg give me 50%

Checking pulse daily hugely beneficial
When my GP diagnosed AFib I was given Bisopropol 😔 swiftly changed to Nebivolol and Apixaban and for weeks I just felt rotten most of the time. I then subscribed to technology which gave me unlimited reports on what my heart was up to at any time of the day or night. Reports were consistently showing

Valve replacement
I was 29 when I had my first heart surgery. Never knew I had a problem prior to that. I was terrified. I subsequently had mitral & aortic valves replaced aged 36. I had mechanical valves put in which was 25 years ago. Still going strong and was a complete life changer. Wait till you are on the other

A trip to Canada

Dronederone
Hi all Two months ago I was prescribed 400mg Dronederone twice daily to slow down the frequency of AF episodes and also their duration. These were coupled with 5mg Bisoprolol and my usual Apixiban. Sunday evening at 7pm an episode started and as I write Tuesday 11am still ongoing. So it would seem this

Pulse thumping post valve replacement
Im 4 months post op from biological aortic valve/conduit replacement. I realize im early on, and fortunate, but can anyone share if they have experienced the bass drum pounding pulse, near continously, after tissue aortic valve replacement. Does it go away and if you had any success in minimizing it

Coping with what could have been
My husband has recently been very ill and had a liver transplant which is working wonderfully. I can't stop thinking about what could have happened if he had not had the transplant. He had sepsis in March and almost died and was going downhill fast just before his transplant. I'm driving myself crazy

PVC’s or ectopic beats
Hi, I was diagnosed with paroxysmal afib at 43 in 2017 and had catheter ablation in March this year. Afib returned for a couple of hours twice but was in the 3 month blanking period so was ok. Stopped the flecainide and verapamil 2 months after procedure as advised by surgeon and need to say it feels

Different AF Types
I have noticed that I get two types of AF periods. One is where my heart goes into an irregular beat but stays within the normal pulse rate. The other is where it jumps to around 160bpm and is irregular. Is there a difference in the two and how long can you leave the high heart rate before thinking

4 month old with VSD
I found out just over a week ago that my baby girl, who is a twin born in March 2021, has a large VSD - and now requires heart surgery for it. I know that I should feel better that I keep reading that it’s a routine procedure etc etc but I cannot help but feel dread, worry, anxiousness to name but

New Anticoagulant looks promising
There's a new anticoagulant that's in trials on people with AF. It appears to cause minimal bleeding. This is an extract from a Times article: Blood clot treatment may help reduce hospital deaths Tom Whipple, Science Editor Tuesday July 20 2021, 12.01am, The Times Blood clots are responsible for one

AV block and Supraventricular tachycardia runs...
Hi everyone, Am fairly new here (diagnosis mid April) and my first post ... but have been reading you all lots and it has really helped me understand things and be less anxious, and you all sound so nice :). I have a question I would be so grateful if any of you could shed some light on what it means

LIOTHYRONINE SODIUM (Generic) by Sigma Pharm (T3) contains Mannitol - What?
Hi all, I've started using T3 and I got the 5mcg pills from Sigma Pharm. I've just looked up what's in them and found that they contain mannitol. So I've googled mannitol and not found anything that goes to explaining why it should be in my T3 pills. I'm a bit freaked out at some of the uses listed

Kardia different reading to normal. Being Normal Sinus. Today’s reading: Sinus Rhythm with PVentricular Contractions. HR also higher today?
Kardia reading different to normal. Usually Normal Sinus. Today it reads: Sinus Rhythm with Premature Ventricular Contractions. My heart rate, although 80-90 heart beats per minute is within normal range it is still higher than the 60-70 it has been since I started on Bisoprosol. I also feel hot and
