10 months post ablation
For the last 2 months I've been in constant touch with arrhythmia nurses as I've been having symptoms of what seemed like AF again together with lots of ectopics. They have been very thorough, had me in to hospital and attached to ecg for 25 minutes but heart mostly behaved! As symptoms continued they

Elevated Toponin Levels post Ablation?
Hello All, I ended up in Urgent Care at the weekend with chest pains which I thought were down to Muscular strain but felt I should check it out. I had the usual checks but they also checked Troponin levels twice (an indicator for Heart attacks). These came out high at 28 on both occasions. They

Take meds on an empty stomach, or take with food, or ?
I've spoken with many pharmacists and my electrophysiologist as well, and I'm puzzled because they say the same or different things! If anyone can ring in on what *might* work best, I'd appreciate it. I take the metoprolol extended release once a day in the morning. I take the flecainide twice a day

Worried about heart valve replacement amid covid
I seem to have been hanging around forever and now that a year ago it was decided I needed the valve replacing, I had all the pre op scans and angiogram etc. Then covid. I felt like Id been lost down the back of a filing cabinet. I finally saw the surgeon again in August, my valve is severe/critical

Afib in the evening
Hi All, I’m new here and don’t know much about Afib but could do with some help. I had a heart attack in March this year and 1 stent fitted which has been fine. A few twinges here and there but all in all I am now healthier than I have been for years. I eat well, exercise daily and am at my perfect BMI

Covid anxiety or heart attack
Lately, everyone I’m working with is getting infected with covid. I’m a phlebotomist and i’m constantly interacting with people. I just found out my coworker has covid and I did her nasal swab. We were outside, both wearing masks, and she did not cough or sneeze as I was doing it. We had no further contact

Bone Hormone A Potential New Treatment?
Calcitonin, a hormone produced by the heart that helps regulate bone mass could be a treatment for people with AF. "Until recently, the hormone calcitonin was only thought to be produced by the thyroid gland, with no known effects on the heart. Now, research published in Nature has revealed that cells

Anyone else been microchipped with a loop recorder ECG ?
I had mine fitted last Saturday. Just healed over, with one stitch, after they injected it in to my chest. Getting used to the idea of it slowly.... It sends data to the hospital every night by satellite and I can use a bleep key to get a reading whenever I get symptoms of chest pain or palpitations

Your experiences after cryo ablation please.
Out if the blue last week, I received a text message reminding me of an appointment I had today. I had no details of this appointment and had not received any letter or communication. I went along expecting to see the usual AF nurse but I was sent to the pacing clinic and it turned out it was the pre-assessment

Weight loss after surgery
Hello everyone, I'm new here so please bear with me... I was lucky enough to get my double heart bypass done in between covid surges - it was third time lucky mind you, and the second time was because a last minute emergency patient needed my ICU bed, I was all ready, gowned up etc. That was a disappointment

3 month anniversary of double bypass
It’s a landmark day for me, 3 months, the magic 12 weeks ‘back to normal’ marker. Back to work this week (3days), pitching some balls on the golf course, and mowing the lawn etc. The only remaining meds are a statin and an aspirin dairy. Scar looks decent, chest still a little tight, but all pretty

Confused again, nervous & scared
My heart tripped out tonight (Nov 8) at 9 o'clock while I was relaxing watching the TV. It's still tripping. My Kardia reading says it's steady but fast at 125 bpm, & has been that for the past 3 1/2 hours. My evening meds (Flecainide 150 mg which I take twice a day -- & I take Pradaxa too) did nothing

Surgical scar lumps.
Hi all, It's three months since my heart surgery and while my scar has healed I've noticed three small lumps at the bottom of the cut. They aren't painful but I do worry that they may be infections. Any ideas?

Hi I am due to have a Liver Scan on next Tuesday 10th November as my Gamma GT is very high. I'm currently suffering with Fatigue and incredibly itchy skin at night which literally started overnight on the 3rd of October. Has anyone experienced anything like this sudden onset of symptoms.
