Hello, this is my first time posting. I'm so glad I've found this as I've been looking to connect with others going through the same or similar things. I was diagnosed with Aortic Stenosis several years ago (Bicuspid valve). It came as a bolt out of the blue as I'd always considered myself to be a

Pacemaker
Just had a pacemaker done today . Due to bradacardia. There were issues with getting it done due to finding vain at collar bone .and then lead would not go by the valve. Used 3 diferent ones. Eventually it worked. Also very painful due to getting pacemaker inserted into position. Took 1 & half hours

Afib and heart problems
AF and Bradycardia I have had Afib for over 15 years. It was acquired from decades of intense training. I had a congenital heart defect(bi-leaflet Aortic valve) and was stricken with Endocarditis after a dental procedure. After the successful valve replacement the doctors had me on Tykosyn (Difatulide

Broad complex tachycardia
Has anyone experienced broad complex tachycardia on a 24 holter ? Should I be worried? GP has requested an echo! I had two episodes that lasted less than 3 seconds and no symptoms other than felt them. GP said my HR went to 146bpm. The rest was normal sinus rhythm. Feeling a bit stressed with it all

Flecainide and Metoprolol Combo Have Stopped Working
I've been a member for a while, but have never posted before.

Quite suddenly these drugs stopped working and I am now in constant Atrial Flutter. I am on a

Constant panic attacks
Hi everyone hope your well haven’t posted in a while, I’m suffering with unbearable panic attacks and constant anxious! I had a very bad experience last week where I collapsed in pain in my chest and couldn’t breathe. Went to hospital but was told wasn’t a heart attack I’ve been struggling to breath

My Apple watch
I have been extremely surprised today when I saw my EP at the hospital. My watch was recording that I had AF and I felt dizzy and breathless. However my ECG tracing in the hospital recorded that I was in sinus rhythm. I have always trusted my watch but now in shock as it doesn’t seem very accurate.

Low T3 identified in deaths from heart attack
Our findings confirm the importance of testing thyroid function in these patients, as already recommended by the guidelines on diagnosis and management of [acute heart failure],” the researchers concluded. “In addition, future studies should be considered to evaluate the treatment of selected patients

Second heart operation
Hi my partner is waiting for a second heart operation. He had a valve repaired aged 18 the Ross procedure and done incredibly well off it. He has now been told its leaking is getting to much and will need a reoperation with 2 years. We have a 5 year daughter. Has anyone been through this?

Any advice welcome.
Hi, is there anyone like me that when diagnosed with heart failure had to lose over 100lbs in weight? Would love to hear tips for how to get safely started with exercise. I'm worried as I am so inactive that any form of exercise is going to make me worse as my anxiety is also bad at present.

Calf pain
Hey so I've been doing C25k for 6 weeks now and was due to run the last leg of W6 this morning, but I didn't because my left calf is in pain. It is very sore and feels tight (kinda always do tbh!) it's ok-ish to walk on but I didn't want to run risk of further injury by running non stop for 25 minutes

Hike to Everest Base Camp anyone?
So I’m thinking of doing this as a bucket list dream - let’s say before I reach 60- I’m 54 this year. Had quadruple heart bypass 2 years ago at 51- anyone know of someone who has done altitude things post heart issue?

does anyone else have to sleep on their back and other questions
I find there are times when I can't sleep on my right side (I never sleep on my left) without my heart playing up. I have trained myself to sleep on my back but I've never heard anyone else suffering this. Also, when I'm reading in bed, I have to hold the book off my chest, or this also causes missed

I am stalling at week 7 :( I did the 15 mins end of wk 6 and felt good, but now hitting 10-12 mins max, so frustrating! Any tips?
I had heart surgery 3 yrs ago so 15 mins was a real achievement but now feel like I am going backwards.
