Beta Blockers
I’m 4weeks post Open Heart Surgery, & I have been put on a beta blocker after being in Atrial Flutter. Can I have caffeine?

How long did it take you to recover after heart bypass surgery?
Hi everyone I had emergency heart bypass surgery about 14 weeks ago. I have spent the “classic” 12 weeks off work, focused on recovery etc. Eating and sleeping is fine, and more or less adjusted to meds ok now. I also do the BHF cardiac rehab level 4 a few times a week, and try to walk about 5 times

Edoxaban switch
I have just had a phone call from the pharmacist at my GP surgery. Because recent blood test indicated that my kidneys are not functioning well, he is suggesting that I change from Apixaban to Edoxaban 30mg as this will ensure that there will not be an excess of anticoagulant in my body which could

Apixaban versus clopidogrel
Prior to PAF diagnosis I was taking clopidogrel, after diagnosis this was switched to apixaban. On clopidogrel I bled more when cut and bruised much more than on apixaban, is this due to apixaban working I a different way. Just wondered if the apixaban was effective in my case.

QRS
I have had a reading on my Kardia of sinus rhythm with wide QRS I was in AF and the subsequent readings confirms AF I gave me quite a scare. Should I be worried?

Day 5 out of hospital from a d bypass & mitral valve replacement, why am I so dizzy whilst walking a few steps/heart pounding/feeling clammy
Hi, I’m new here. Day 5 from discharge from a double by pass and mitral valve replacement, is it normal to feel very dizzy whilst walking a few steps then feeling clammy and heart racing? None of my pre op meds have been changed apart from reducing the Ramipril. I appreciate it’s early days but apart

Vaccine for Mitral Valve Prolapse?
Hi, I’m new to this so I’m sorry if this is in the wrong place. I was diagnosed with MVP 10 years ago with mild regurgitation. I also have first degree heartblock though I understand that’s trivial. I have the annual free flu vaccines and have had the pneumonia vaccine etc and have an annual hospital

Heart Bypass
My partner had a quadruple bypass on the 12th March. He was home a week later, but since then he’s been having awful pain in his left shoulder and can’t sleep properly for it. Any suggestions?

Feeling Deflated
Started Couch to 5k again and I have been struggling this time, but I've kept going I've repeated Wk 1 a few times. Now I'm really enjoying it but I'm in so much pain after it with my knee. I'm taking pain killers using deep heat gel and also tried a tens machine but my knee still hurts. Are there any

In KNEED of support.
Advice, please. My left knee has been niggling for a couple of weeks and I have tried Deep Heat and a neoprene leg support for when I'm not active. Can any of you recommend a support to wear whilst I'm running? There are lots out there, but I'm like a child in a sweet shop and can't decide. It's on the

Scared I have heart failure
I am anorexic and I weigh 40 kgs and I’m concerned I have heart failure - I have been having shortness of breath when lying down and things like that. However I’ve been to the hospital and had a chest X-ray an ecg and the doctor said my lungs are clear so I’m not sure what this is. Please help ? Thanks

Can you believe I just

Sinus arrhythmia found but is this really what I am feeling?
Hello, this may seem like an odd question, but please allow me to explain. For a couple of years now, since my hashimoto's (thyroid disease) diagnosis, I have been complaining of feeling palpitations or missed beats, skipped beats etc. I have had numerous ecg's and been in the ER on a couple of occasions

Lifelong chest aches & pains?
Hi, I'm at 14months post heart bypass and have had, given the difficulties accessing post-op rehab due to Covid, a pretty good recovery. Working hard on my fitness and my diet etc. However, I still get a considerable amount of chest discomfort. Aches, pains, numbness and tightness. Nothing overly serious

Struggling with ectopics and enlarged left ventricle
Hello, I am new to this group. I am feeling very nervous and worried as I have been struggling for sometime with ectopic beats, now been told my left ventricle is enlarged as is my heart. Hoping medication will improve things, otherwise I will be placed on the heart transplant list. I am 48 and had surgery

Can’t believe it
I had a silent heart attack last Wednesday and an angioplasty Saturday, at home now resting but it doesn’t feel like I had an attack and can’t believe it. The angioplasty seems like a bad dream. Bit uncomfortable and slight pain but surreal feeling anyone else feel or felt like this
