Hi, I’m new here. Acute heart failure July 2018, many med changes without success, CRT-D fitted Nov 2018. Further med changes since then including changing from Ramipril to Entresto. Still no improvement. Now consultant is discussing heart transplant and I’m scared. Any support or advice very much appreciated

If I can't reach behind my back after surgery, how will I be able to use toilet paper? This is actually very worrisome!
Well, this is embarrassing! But I am scheduled to have open heart surgery on Tuesday so I was reading about it, and it says you can't reach behind your back for a few weeks afterwards. How am I going to use TP after taking a dump then? I'm single and alone so there is nobody I could ask for help with

Need support...
I am new to this group... I have severe anxiety due to coding on the operating table during open heart surgery. I am literally afraid of everything now. I am in counseling and they prescribed medication. But guess what???? I am afraid to take it. Imagine that. I feel like no matter what the drs say that

Heart Transplant
Has anyone on here had a heart transplant? If so, can they tell me what its like to live after the operation? What changes do you have to make? What drugs do you have to take and are the side effects debilitating? Thanks in advance.

mum isn't following commands, after an open heart surgery and minor strokes . Is there hope ? 🙏
My mum is an outgoing person full of life however she was getting tired and out of breath going up and down stairs. The doctors did the full check up and found a leaky valve which needed operation before she gets too old. She is 76. The opeartion was a long and difficult one according to the doctors

Agonising Calf Pain
I’ve just finished Week 3 Run 3. Slightly dreading week 4 due to the pain I am experiencing in my inner calves. It started about week 2 run 2 and is like an agonising burning sensation. It causes me to woddle home and it’s very uncomfortable. As soon as I get home, I get in a hot bath and use deep heat

Update: repeated chest infections
Hi all, For those of you who have read my earlier posts regarding finding answers to why I am having so many chest infections, I have an update. Yesterday I spoke with my GP and he gave me the x-ray results of the x-ray I had done in the A&E about 2 weeks ago. He said there was a shadow on my lower

I just wish I could banish the fear of dying once and for all as it would probably cure my overall anxiety as well. I have been in hell since March being 56, morbidly obese for years with the fear of catching Coronavirus, and having found out four weeks ago I have heart failure and afib, I am utterly

That's the midway bell that chimed on W5R2 which is also the midway point of this whole mucky, sordid affair. In terms of runs anyway, 13.5 runs into a 27 run programme. The midway point for the [i]running[/i] doesn't land until about 15 paces into W7R1. I know what you're thinking, what kind of anal
