Cardiac surgery
Has anyone on long term thyroid meds had open-heart cardiac repair surgery? Any ideas as to whether it affects thyroid and any need to up/ lower T4/T3 meds? Any reflections/suggestions would be most welcome.

Cardiac open heart surgery
Hi to all Has anyone with metastatic breast cancer had open heart cardiac surgery and might you share your experience with me please? I only saw my surgeon yesterday and am now scheduled for Monday. How amazing is that but I'm just a bit scared. It's one of those 'be careful what you wish for' situations

W9R2 done
I didn't enjoy that at all. 73° and windy but more it was thar my legs felt heavy from start to finish. Think I had toxic tens from 0 -15 mins and 20 - 30 mins. Did consciously slow down once or twice when getting too puffed but I can confirm that having run for too long by accident last week has not

Mitral Valve repair
Hello, I write to connect to people who have had surgery taken the form of a mitral valve repair. I have been diagnosed with a severe mitral regurgitation with mitral valve prolapse, mild left ventricular systolic dysfunction (I think because the heart is working too hard because of the prolapse) as

Chamberpot
Has anyone had severe breathlessness? I have had heart failure for over a year now, and I had a pacemaker fitted on 16th October last, then a change to my blood pressure tablet from Ramapril to Entresto. After a few weeks I became breathless, and developed atrial fibrillation again, so went back on to

TENS advice
Can those who have had success with TENS share where they put the pads? I know we are all different but I would benefit from some experience. I tried them on my feet for 15 minutes each foot last night without any success. Thanks.

Tens pain relief
Hi all I'm just looking for any information on the beurer em50. I've been looking everywhere for a storage case to make it better when carrying it round with me. Does anyone have any links or anything suitable if you use this too? I know this may not be the best forum but unsure where to ask. Thanks

I picked up a book and turned the page. My recovery had begun.
I was lucky, the author was later described as 'the woman who cracked the anxiety code'. She was nominated for a Nobel Prize for her major contribution to helping so many recover from anxiety disorder. She did this through her short books, consultations, newsletters and public appearances in person

Well after 3 years and one aortic aneurysm fixed as a bonus, a consultant at an and e last night said ‘ you had better be tested for vasospastic coronary arteries ( well he said Prinzvariant actually) .

Practice run
Decided to dip my toe in this afternoon and do a run post the lurgy. I still have a headache but knew my energy levels were better. I was due to start W7 but decided to do a 20 min run instead just to see. Def experienced the toxic tens but enjoyed it once through that. Also, interesting that I considered

Heart Failure diagnosis.
I am an 80 year old female with a history of Atrial Fibrillation. I have had 3 Ablations and am now on rate control drugs which keep me quite comfortable. Recently my breathing became a problem and I am getting generalised weakness . I really do expect this at my grand age but I do like to drive and

Deleted post with link to AF outcomes
I just wrote a reply to a now deleted post that linked to an external site giving a review of AF and its long-term outcomes. It was from a company called "Medtronic", a maker of medical equipment and other materials. The web page it linked looked like it was a PowerPoint presentation aimed at health

Atrial tachycardia and PAC burden and urgency of ablation question
So I finally found the report from my 14 day holter monitor and it showed a PAC burden of 4% and 141 episodes of atrial tachycardia originating from the pulmonary vein and the longest stretch being 30 beats (I guess that is what the EP meant when he said i was having mini afib episodes, maybe he was

Post Ablation
Good morning, This is a long one so Thankyou if you get to the end! I had my 3rd Ablation last Thursday 18th Jan at St Bart’s . It was a fairly complex one and resulted in going from sedation to a general anesetic during procedure. I had an overnight stay and was discharged Friday afternoon. I was
