London NHS recommendations for treating arrhythmias
I have just moved to London & have ongoing heart arrhythmias that I’d like medical advice on. I wondered I’d anyone could kindly give me advice on the best NHS centre to be referred to in London? I was diagnosed with paroxysmal long RP atrial tachycardia in 2019 and I’m now 53 years old. I am currently

Post operative delirium
I am new to the group and see how supportive it is. I think this is especially important at a time when many NHS hospitals, like mine in North London, are unable to provide a face to face cardiac rehabilitation service because their rooms have been repurposed. I was diagnosed with heart failure earlier

So Worried - update
We’ll, he’s still in hospital; they’ve tried various drugs unsuccessfully to bring the HR down. They’re planning a cardioversion today - bit anxious about it because he missed a dose of apixaban on Tuesday in all the kerfuffle of going into hospital! 🤞🤞it all goes ok and does the trick!

Importance of Blood Testing
Diagnosed with afib in Feb '21, taking .50gm of metoprolol to control heart rate. Recent blood test revealed glucose increased from 100 to 140 likely caused by metoprolol. Cardiologist currently considering other medications. (prior glucose readings were always below 110). Would encourage all to

Update for 5th valve replacement surgery
Well, I’m through the worst and now back on the high dependency ward. Have a few wound issues as it wouldn’t stop bleeding which meant a couple of blood transfusions but they were able to go in through my side so that was a relief. Woke up only 3 hours after the surgery with minimal pain. Had chest drains

A little disheartened!
So I'd rather keep things positive but I suppose I can only be honest! Its 7 weeks since ablation for afib. Before ablation I was symptomatic during afib (shortness of breath,dizzy and palpitations and sweating) but when it self terminated after a while I was generally fine. And could excersise generally

Hi I’m new, does anyone suffer from really low heart rate when not in AF?
I have been having AF off and on for the last three years. Over this last year it has increased in frequency. I am having it at least once a week, it usually lasts between 2 to 4 hours.I usually auto convert on my own, thank god.I have an iwatch which has been really helpful in keeping tabs on my EKG

Anxiety following TIA end of July, has anyone had similar?
I have had open heart surgery July 2019, replacement aortic valve, and single bypass. The TIA came out of the blue, was going to my daughter’s house for the evening, husband has a pizza oven, and they were having friends round. I went to write a card for someone, and the words wouldn’t make sense! Rang

Due to have heart bypass on Wednesday. I usually wear crop tops but have been told to wear front fastening bras. Won’t it rub on scar?
Would appreciate any female related advice.

I have really hurt my neck today, been to hospital and they said I have hurt the large muscles in my neck.I have always got a bad neck and a.ways rub with deep heat cream.

Happy days
100 days since open heart surgery for leaking mitral valve. This is me at the summit of CATBELLS this morning. Reached the top in 36 minutes non stop. All thanks to hard work and the fantastic rehab girls at Papworth. All those small steps lead to larger steps lead to the success I had today.

New here
Hi everyone. I am new here. My story began approx 2 years ago when I woke up not being able to breath. I was taken to the great PAPWORTH hospital in Cambridge. After tests I was told that I had to have open heart surgery to replace my Mitral valve. This was done with pigs tissue making up the new valve

T3 sources
Hi It’s been a long time since I’ve been on this site. I have been taking T3 for a long time now under approval by an endo. But I’ve had to source and pay for my own. I had quite a lot of T3 and I’m now running low. I have also been dealing with other issues and a few months ago had open heart surgery

Atrial tachycardia
I was initially diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. However, when I went for an ablation and was seen by the EP he decided it wasn’t AF but atrial tachycardia. Apparently symptom are almost adenoidal and I’m on similar meds to all those with AF My problem is, there doesn’t seem to be anyone else here
