Upcoming valve replacement surgery - Any advice?
I've recently learned I need to have Mitral Valve Replacement heart surgery, and am really scared. I was wondering if there is anybody else in this group who's undergone the procedure who could tell me a bit about the process, recovery and how you felt in the weeks/months after? Can you live a normal

TiredofIBS
Anyone here has experienced getting Afib after strong orgasmic event? Been shocked back into sinus rhythm but cardiologist does not feel this event caused my Afib but my mitral valve regurgitation. No question it was the strong orgasm as I experienced strong heart abnormal beats like your heart was going

Getting off Verapamil
After 2nd ablation for SVT, I had AFib episodes. Cardiologist said I could take Verapamil and if this did not stop Afib, could add Flecainide. I was told for the SVT ablation blanking period 1 week. I concluded 3 months more appropriate and decided to take 180 mg Verapamil sustained release once/day

Anyone have ablation for asymptomatic afib/aflutter?
Hi. I appreciate the great answers and support from my previous question on this forum. I know the main reason for ablation is to eiminate afib, improve QoL and hopefully get off of the meds. This may be a stupid question but are there many people with asymptomatic afib/aflutter and heartrate of 70-

Mechanical valve
Has anyone had the vaccines that has APS, Lupus, and a mechanical heart valve and on blood thinners and prednisone? If so, did you have complications? Thank you!

Hubby forgot his pills 🤦♀️🤦♀️
After ablation 3 weeks, high HR last week culminating in cardioversion; he was doing so well with normal HR, sinus rhythm & BP. Then he forgot his pills last night, went into AF overnight, and now has HR of 120. Any suggestions/thoughts will be gratefully received! Our thoughts are to monitor over the

London NHS recommendations for treating arrhythmias

Post operative delirium
I am new to the group and see how supportive it is. I think this is especially important at a time when many NHS hospitals, like mine in North London, are unable to provide a face to face cardiac rehabilitation service because their rooms have been repurposed. I was diagnosed with heart failure earlier

So Worried - update
We’ll, he’s still in hospital; they’ve tried various drugs unsuccessfully to bring the HR down. They’re planning a cardioversion today - bit anxious about it because he missed a dose of apixaban on Tuesday in all the kerfuffle of going into hospital! 🤞🤞it all goes ok and does the trick!

Importance of Blood Testing
Diagnosed with afib in Feb '21, taking .50gm of metoprolol to control heart rate. Recent blood test revealed glucose increased from 100 to 140 likely caused by metoprolol. Cardiologist currently considering other medications. (prior glucose readings were always below 110). Would encourage all to

A little disheartened!
So I'd rather keep things positive but I suppose I can only be honest! Its 7 weeks since ablation for afib. Before ablation I was symptomatic during afib (shortness of breath,dizzy and palpitations and sweating) but when it self terminated after a while I was generally fine. And could excersise generally
