Cold weather
Maybe a bit of a strange question - does anyone feel the cold a lot more since their heart operation? I certainly seem to, two extra layers of T shirts/jumpers, a second pair of socks and I've still had to turn up the heating ... It's mainly my feet, got some lovely slipper socks that make all the

Double dose of Apixaban this morning
Good morning My husband who has AF took 2 x 5mg Apixaban this morning instead of one! The leaflet with the tablets says if you take too many, you should contact your doctor immediately. I've phoned over to our surgery and told them and am awaiting a reply. I am a born worrier but he is so precious

Hello
Hi. So glad for this site. Newly diagnosed with a-fib, along with heart failure (diastolic). Walked into the emergency room here at local hospital Nov. 5th., thinking that I had a possible DVT because of on-going left leg swelling, after blood test and x-rays told I had a-fib which was the reason for

painful heavy legs …. This has helped me!
I have RA, I also had a DVT 8 years ago following surgery. I have a job which keeps me on my feet all day and I’m in my mid 50s. I had started to get very heavy aching legs. Compression socks helped, but on a whim I bought an electronic circulation booster (the type of thing advertised on TV by

2023: Your Successes and Failures
My mum is 83, has PD and dementia.
Successes
1. Constipation and digestive issues very much helped with the addition of Motilitone, a prokinetic. Once a day or every other day now. No strain. Zero stress around the issue now. Previously, there was a great deal. Abdominal pains have gone. (

Groin pain from catheter ablation
Harefield hospital carried out an ablation for AF and flutter Jan 2023. There was a black area of my groin/thigh that was black. Since the operation I get a dull inner pain in my thigh going down my leg a few inches. This problem / annoyance does not effect my activities and I am only aware of it when

Constant uncomfortable feeling
I'm hoping anyone out there can reach out. I was diagnosed with endometriosis 10 years ago and had 3 laparoscopies with the last one removing my left ovary and tube over 3 years ago. For the past month or so the pain is gradually getting worse. I'm worried that this will be the norm as its feels too

Since then we have discovered he has Atrial Fibrillation 1.9%of the time and so takes Edoxaban. Nurse at surgery yesterday sat for ages clutching his pulse before finally telling

INR control
Hi don't know if this is of any interest to anyone ,but my INR has always been impossible to stabilize My heamatologist suggested taking a small dose of vitamin K and increasing the warfarin dose I didn't do this as don't want to be taking any more supplements, So I decided to massively increase my intake

Ross vs Mechincal valve
My son is going to be 21 in January and is on the list for his 4th open heart surgery. His last one was in 2013 where they performed the BROM. He has to decide between Ross or Mechincal. Both have pros and cons but and are higher risk as this will be his 4th but does he want to go Ross(15 to 20% risk

Calf Pain and PAD
Hi, I wasn't sure if this should be posted in a Diabetes forum or on here, after thinking about it I think that this BHF site is the better option. So Peripheral Arterial Disease. I had both Iliac Arteries 'bored' out with balloon angioplasty in May of this year (Left leg fully occulted and Right leg

For the past 6 months I have had very bad back pain which is impacting daily life. I have no idea what triggered it but my physio says she sees it all the time and it is degenerative disc disease. I have paid for a dozen physio sessions and several osteopath sessions which have not been helpful unfortunately

Flecainide, not curing PAF
I had PAF for five years flick and I stopped it every time. No it doesn’t after being in AF for three weeks they changed the dosage. I’m taking a low dose of flecainide every day and Apixaban. I’m hoping it will bring the sinus rhythm back but what happens if it doesn’t is an ablation something to think

waiting for a diagnosis
hi, I have just joined this forum and hope someone can reassure me. I have been having chest pains but put it down to indigestion until last week when it was worse. I didn’t want to call an ambulance as gp suggested but they saw me in surgery straight away. I have been on statins for years as most of
