First AF Ablation this week
Greetings, Long-time lurker, first time poster here. Although I'm in the U.S. I've found this forum to be very helpful. Just for background, I'm 46 y.o. male in good health with no chronic conditions besides paroxysmal AF and atrial flutter. Cardiologist and EP feel that AF/flutter likely precipitated

Cardiac Annual review
Hi, I am writing as I am a little concerned that there is no annual review post catheter procedure to implant stents in my coronary arteries. I thought I was going to get a review to check on my cholesterol at least if not a stress test and/or other measurements, BP etc, instead I have been passed from

Aspirin causing bruising?
I've been on 75mg of Dispersible Aspirin since before my Open Heart Surgery along with other medication. I'm finding now that I bruise really easily and quite badly for minor reasons. My GP thinks it may be the Aspirin. I've got a phone consultation /follow up with my Cardiologist this week and I'm going

Dentistry following open heart surgery
AVR and double bypass on 26 February 2020. Things going pretty well after initial lung problem. Finally managed to get a dental appointment: the good news is that there is no immediate need for remedial treatment, the bad news is that the Cardiac unit has not responded to my dentist’s letter to them

Very new on Bisoprolol and feeling rather dizzy, sick and headachy. Also very tired. Is this common?
I have been on Bisoprolol and Apixaban for 5 days now and am feeling rather dizzy, sick and headachy. Also very tired. Is this common? I realise that everyone is different but how long might it be before my body adjusts? I was having palpitations 25% of the time with my pulse up to 190 and then stopping

Really low heart rate
On August 24 of this year, After having what I thought was tachycardia for over 24 hours with a heart rate of 150 b/m, I ended up in the emergency room where it was determined I was having an SVT episode. That was resolved, surprisingly, by an IV of metoprolol. After that, my electro-physiologist increased

Dosage Dilemma
Felt unwell last week - doctor visited and took urine sample which immediately tested clear. It was considered that I was suffering ‘stress’ as my husband had that day gone into hospital for heart surgery, It was suggested that I increase to 10mg Pred. Doctor telephoned me yesterday to say urine tested

4-and-a-bit-month Post Ablation Update
So, I've been posting this to help all the sport loving folks out there see what they might expect post-ablation. So just after three months I began to feel much better - I'm now doing all the weight-training, yoga and pilates I was able to do before. I can also walk up to five miles with little problem

Chest pain
Hi all, I was hoping for a little advice. I had open heart surgery two months ago and was unfortunately one of the 2% who suffers a stroke and lost the use of an arm and a leg.. I have just been discharged and I am in constant pain in the chest area. The pain doesn't seem to have an exact home. Sometimes

LA and COVID
Hi all, I hope you’re well! This news just came out. https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/88044 LA might lead to thrombosis in COVID-19. Not really a surprise though :) Anyway, they also mention that blood clots still occur with LA on anticoagulation with COVID. They recommend

After around two years I had my first atack of AF which was a shock so off to hospital i did go, lassted about 10 hours and went away. This happened

Not Flutter After All
A couple of weeks ago, following what I though was a particularly persistent episode of flutter, I posted asking about treatment options on our forum. My heart rate was bouncing around anywhere from 60 to low 90s. My medications had been increased by my EP but since there was no improvement after a

Cancer with APS
I’ve been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I also have AFib. The oncologist is suggesting chemo plus the Whipple surgery. How dangerous is all of this when you have APS. I also have COPD. I feel that this will be the end of my life. Last year I had my aorta valve replaced by the TVAR method. Info

Hawthorn Berry certainly helps me with the occasional missed beats!
Hi All Hope this helps. I was a competitive cyclist from age 14 to 45 (70 now) and able to ride at 25 av. Then from 45 onwards rode with my own ability group at a decent pace. Then, of course, slightly slower each year! So, rode at 20 av at age 60 and 17 av at age 67 for example The missed beats started

Cardiac on top of MBC
Has anyone here had "open heart" surgery? I ask because besides the MILBC I've been living with for over 16 years, I've developed a couple of cardiac issues, a leaky mitral value and a-fib. My cardiologist referred me to a cardiac surgeon hoping one (open heart in which the sternum would be cut thru
