Potential ICD
Hi My husband has just had a letter following his latest echo cardiogram and apparently his ejection fraction is now 32 (it was in the 40s last year). The letter has stated that he's being considered for an ICD and he's very stressed about this. Firstly, is there anything he could be doing to improve

Cardiac Arrest survivor
Hi everyone, new here so just a quick (or not) intro; isn't it great to be alive! Glad you're on this mortal coil as well, long that may remain. It's been 18 months since that fateful day that my family went through the hell of seeing me with my heart stopped. They rallied round and took it in turns

Insurance Cautionary Tale
Before I get to the tale, I’m a very slim active 77 yr old with LBBB, severe left ventricular failure with an implanted ICD, also numerous surgical interventions throughout my life. I went on holiday with girl friends to Portugal Algarve one of which owns a villa, we’ve done this for a number of years

Can a 3 year old MIRENA coil cause thrush symptoms.
Hi all this is my first post. I’ve had the mirena coil for the last 3 and a half years. I got this after being diagnosed with PCOS at an early age and not having much luck with the pill. I am undergoing a huge period of consistent pain and now I’m in the process of going in for surgery to see if

Left side pelvic pain when masturbating
Hello ladies, so I have an issue whenever I masturbate using my vibrator I get strong pains in the left side of my pelvis? Anyone else experienced this? I currently have a coil fitted for treatment for endometrial hyperplasia could this be causing it? 😅 Help a girl out? 🤔🤔

Hep B vaccinated, asked to do virus tests again and again
Both my partner and myself were vaccinated against Hep B, so we are both testing positive of Hep B antibody in our fertility treatment screening tests. When I did an IVF around with the NHS, this wasn't an issue. The NHS hospital didn't ask us to take a Hep B viral test. However, when I was doing IVF

Long Haul Flights
Can I ask, has anyone done a long haul flight [7hrs+] after a major HA. I had one almost 3 yrs ago and had an ICD fitted 2 just over 2 yrs ago. I was wondering what other people did. I've thought about compression socks etc, and did people obtain a fit to fly letter from their GP? I'm flying from the

Advice of ICD options
Hi, I am due to get an ICD fitted in the coming weeks after being diagnosed with brugada syndrome. I believe I will have two options available and would like to know if anyone has any pros or cons to either of the two options available to me. 1. Traditional ICD with wires attached to heart 2. Subcutaneous

Feeling lost ...
I never write on these types of things as reaching out is a big thing for me, but today I am completely at a loss. For some background, I had very heavy painful periods from when they started age 13, I would spend a week off school in bed each month but thought it was normal. Only when this started inferring

Zoladex vs merina coil vs surveillance MRI
I have stage 4 endo with a few laparoscopies and laser treatment. I want to avoid surgery (as I’m full of adhesions) and have been offered zoladex to try or merina coil (no idea why but coil petrifies me as it’s so painful even having a smear!). Last time I had the progesterone implant it negatively

Drs won’t refer me
Hi everyone thanks I advance for reading. I suffer from painful periods. As a teenager, they made me vomit. In the last 7 years the pain had become unbearable and debilitating.

ICD - What does it feel like when it activates?
Hi, my wife has recently had pacemaker/icd fitted. She is very anxious about what she will experience when the ICD triggers and shocks. Does anyone have any experience of how it feels, i.e is it painful etc? Thanks in advance

Back pain after ICD fitted.
It's been over 3 weeks since I had a CRT-D device fitted. I used to sleep on my left side, so since being fitted, I've been sleeping on my right hand side. I've now got an awful pulled muscle type pain on my right hand side - If I stretch my arm forward, it really hurts in my muscle, just under my shoulder

ICD
Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with 32% EF at the end of last year and was referred to have a ICD fitted but so far no action taken , I was wondering if it was common to be kept waiting so long.
