ICD Issue
Hi all, I recently knocked my
ICD
whilst carring out normal day-to-day tasks (I really should make up something more exciting!)No alarms on the
ICD
have sounded and I presume that everything is working OK as I've heard nothing from Cardio clinic (I have a home monitoring system in use.)

Bi Ventricular pacemaker and ICD, please share your experiences
I have been offered a bi ventricular pacemaker and
ICD
as a result of my history of ischemic heart disease, various conduction issues, 30% ejection fraction, slow pulse rate. It is hoped getting both ventricles to beat together will improve pumping function and my general wellbeing.

Travel Insurance
Hi I had an
ICD
fitted in November.. you might see quite a few questions from me. May I thank people in advance that have taken time out to answer. We have an annual travel insurance policy that isn’t due to expire before our next holiday.

ICD after heart attack
I went to see the heart failure nurse today and was told I need an
ICD
but am not sure why. My EF was 34 after last echo. Just looking for advice.

How to go through airport security with a pacemaker/ICD?
Hello dear afib forum friends! I am about to fly to Brazil in a few days and I never know the best way to go through security with a pacemaker.Last summer, in Toronto I was scolded for walking through the metal detector. They don't like it because it sets off metal detector alarms. They prefer you

No more fluid restrictions, no
ICD
required and no further appointments for a year. To say I am delighted is an understatement!

Three shocks in last twelve months and not been to hospital, anyone else had a similar experience?
I've had my
ICD
since 2013 and have recently (2 days ago) received my 10th shock. This was confirmed by the hospital over the phone as a VF arrest. The two shocks previous to this were the same, and I've also had some anti-tachy pacing. All this in the last 12 months.

ICD/Pacemaker
I had an
ICD
/Pacemaker fitted three years ago and I am still experiencing pain from around the site of the implant. I also experience a jumping of the diaphragm from it which involves seeing the technician every six months for an adjustment.

dineogest & mirena coil
I’m in a bit of a predicament & I understand asking for advice on here isn’t exactly medical professionals but hoping to hear other’s experiences to help give me the answers. I’ve been diagnosed with stage 4 endo for 5 years, after a long journey I managed to conceive my daughter - pregnancy definitely

Today after speaking to Dr they said they don't like to

T3/T4 HRT Meds before surgery?
Hello lovely people, i hope everyone is managing to catch up on the long overdue sun ;) Sadly, my gynaecologist has found an ovarian tumour which needs to be removed and biopsied. Recovery from this will take between 6-8 weeks. I am in really good health otherwise but do take 150mg Levo and 45mg Liothyronine

IUD expulsion....twice!
Hey, so I was recently diagnosed with Endometriosis after many, many years of being told it's just a heavy period, you'll just have to get on with it - thank you male doctors. So now I have a diagnosis and my GP recommended the coil as a first plan of action. After insertion my coil came out after 3

Returning Endometriosis with a vengeance!
So approximately two years ago I had surgery for severe endometriosis. It didn’t particularly help with the pain as I also have adenomyosis, but I was just about managing. The NHS haven’t been very helpful as I have been waiting for nearly two years for the mirena coil. I took matters into my own hands

Has anyone not been diagnosed after first laparoscopy but diagnosed later?
Hey everyone! 🤗 This may be a bit of a long one, so I appreciate anyone who takes the time to read it. I was wondering if anyone had endometriosis that was missed during their first laparoscopy? I've had debilitating pain on and off for almost two years. I went to the GP so many times when the pain

Mirena coil
Hi, I have no Thyriod as I had thyriod cancer in 2018. My thyroxine has been too low for a while so Hypothyriod atm. Waiting for levels to balance but anxiety is awful. And feeling low etc. The GP recommended Mirena coil as no interaction with Thyroxine for all the hormonal symptoms. But reading
