Hi all, I’ve been quiet on the group for a while now as after my horrible introduction to rapid AF 18 months ago prompting a couple of stays in CCU things have settled on meds. The cardiologist has discharged me back to the Gp , apart from ectopics & odd thumps/ bumps I am well on adizem & flecanide

Iv had two heart surgeries for pulmonary valve replacement. Had my last echo a month ago and everything looks normal. About a week after that iv been having heart palpitations every single day and extreme tiredness and slight chest discomfort. Iv had it before but last times was because I was pregnant

Has any one used a Tens machine for intermittent claudication?

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.

I am slowly feeling better, pain in the chest and discomfort in the back,left rib and sternum is still there but I know it will all fuse back together soon. I sometimes feel in my own world but present if you get what I mean. The one thing I have found difficult is the mood swings, I push myself to

Hi all, Long story short, I've had arrhythmia for years, Afib and SVT. 4 ablations later, last year they fitted me with a dual chamber pacemaker and had an AV Node ablation. I still have an ILR fitted and from the uploads of a night from my monitor, they have found I'm having Atrial Tachycardia,

I am just enquiring if anyone else who has recently had open heart surgery, has a hole at the top of their scar. It appears like a hole but I have noticed wire sticking out (appears white) Just wondered if anyone has noticed this and what it could indicate.

Hi! I'm curious if anyone has/had constant 24/7 bradycardia afib/arrhythmia? What symptoms did you experience? Short background, husband had an ICD implanted 6 of Feb and it has caused/triggered constant afib (reading medical research I now understand these procedures are known to in cases be pro-arrhythmic

Hi to all, Up and till 7 March 2024, I never even had one thought about my heart valves. One week later I am scheduled for open heart surgery to replace the valve on 20 March 2024. I think I am still in shock and denial. I am feeling anxious about the operation and whether I would die in theatre. Should

Good morning guys and gals.Hope everyone is as well as they can be. Well, here's the promised update from a couple of years ago but to be fair, nothing much had happened on the heart surgery front, I'd been in nsr and I have still been contributing replies. Settle down with a strong drink of choice,

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

Eleven weeks ago I had open heart surgery to remove a large atrial myxoma. I would now like to start getting back into exercise as I’m feeling much better though still have some soreness around my sternum. I would particularly like to get back into yoga to build up my strength and suppleness. Has anyone

Has anyone here with atrial fibrillation been prescribed aspirin rather than other blood thinners like apixaban? I would rather take aspirin but my cardiologist prefers apixaban. It seems like there is research that goes both ways. My GP rolls his eyes and says opinion changes from year to year. I

Hello This is mainly aimed at Females who have congenital heart disease. I have recently had my third open heart surgery, it’s been successful and I’m recovering well.

I am now 12 months NSR after successful ablation and experiencing mixed feelings."Reviewed without contact .No follow up planned." If I run into problems contact them & they will arrange a follow up. I just have a few questions. 1.I need to know what I can expect from now on. 2.As it over 2.5 years

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

Hi! My daughter was diagnosed with heart block when she was a year old. I've found it really hard that so little information is available about heart block in children, and there is no specific group for affected families in the UK. I am sure that lots of families have useful knowledge and experience

So sorry to ask a question again. I live on my own and things get worrying. Had ablation 8 weeks ago and after 10 days felt great. Walking well etc etc. 3 days ago I started to feel chest discomfort and aching in my back. My Apple Watch says I am in sinus rhythm and 65-75bpm but the trace is all over
