Independent article: Scientists reveal best time to take high blood pressure tablets
Today’s Independent has an article, with the same title as the header, which reports that scientists have shown conclusively that taking blood pressure medication in the evening is no better than taking it in the morning to protect against heart attack, stroke, heart failure or death. Worth a read.

3 weeks post triple heart bypass
After the initial shock of needing a bypass after a heart attack, I was discharged from hospital having what felt like the sweats and palpitations in my chest, neck and back, reassuringly the ECG at hospital was normal. It turned out I had a chest infection, meaning I spent another week in hospital

Survey?
I see such a variety of meds for afib. I wonder if people will disclose what they are taking, maybe in this format. I've given mine. I see such a variation in meds, mainly in quantity of rate-control drugs, such as Eliquis (apixaban). I wonder about country, because it seems to me that people in U.K

Repatha - is anyone on it?
hi everyone, I have asked this in Cholesterol but no one has responded as yet. Has anyone taken or been offered Repatha? If so, how did you get on? I have paroxysmal AF, and stable angina. My cholesterol is high, (though I have lowered it naturally) and I’ve now been prescribed Repatha as I can

AF medication and bradycardia
Hi, I have recently been diagnosed with Paroxysmal AF. Drug regime includes, Apixaban, Bisoprolol, and Liptor. I have been given Flecainide in case of need but I am concerned about some of the side effects so have not used it so far. My question is about experiences with Bisoprolol. I was originally

Repatha - your views
hello everyone, I’ve been asked to take repatha as I can’t tolerate statins. Has anyone had experience of Repatha? I am a bit fearful of injecting myself with a drug. I try to keep well with exercise, diet, and supplements. However, I do have AF and stable angina and seem to be getting AFib episodes

Another Update - and not good news!
I have just spent another 10 days in hospital whilst they have been trying to get my HR under 100 - nothing working so far - they have let me out with many drugs in the hope that bed rest and the drugswill bring it down. Unfortunately I have also been diagnosed with Stage 3 heart failure. I am hugely

what about PFA in Uk
We finally have PFA in the USA after watching, envious of Europe, for three year. We still don’t have it everywhere, but some premier hospitals provide it. It’s safer, faster, and so far shows better results. I am four days post procedure, drove four hours each way, and had afib, atypical aflutter

heart surgery cancelled
Hi, my husband has been waiting for mitral valve repair since last December. After chasing, he was offered a date for surgery at the end of July. That was cancelled the day he was due to be admitted. The week after, he was gowned up and ready to go when it was cancelled. The following week, he got a

To Dial 999 or Not
Last Thursday was a horrible day. I had a message left on my answerphone from my older sister, who has slight learning difficulties. She said, "Jean I have a pain in my chest and feel terrible", then she was in tears. I immediately called her back and asked which side the pain was, it was her left. Asked

Triple heart bypass
My husband is 6 weeks post triple heart bypass pass. He continues to experience pain around his chest and he now has severe pain around the sternum. It doesn't seem to be improving. I'm looking for reassurance. Is it normal to experience severe pain 6 weeks post op. Thank you.

DIGOXIN
Any thoughts on the drug Digoxin please. Currently my drug regime is not controlling my rates, resting rate should be 60 as set by my pacemaker but for the past 6 days it has been erratic, also finding that the diuretic I take is not dealing efficiently with my fluid overload. Due to see cardiac specialist

i’m due for a follow up but i’m too scared to go
I had a complex case of DORV-TGA with some other issues. I had one open heart surgery in infancy and then one in early childhood. My parents first took to to follow ups but they were all the same(some residue but nothing major and no changes) But i’d always feel so anxious before those checkups that

WONDERED WHAT YOU THOUGHT
I was first diagnosed with AF in 2021 when I had an ablation. Since then I manage my situation with 50mg Flecainide twice a day and Apixaban. I found some papers today (2022) where my EP said I was doing well with maybe 3 incidents a year. I get my heart checked every year and its of sound structure.
