I got my circumcision 4 days ago and that black part has been where my Frenelum should be, it’s not painful or even sensitive to touch and it’s been there whole time. I figure it might be a blood clot what do you think it is and should I be worried?

I’m having the most awful burning, itchy, inflamed skin on my face that’s come on suddenly over the past couple of days. Im wondering if it’s related to the Apixaban that I’m on. Has anyone else had such a reaction? I have tried an otc antihistamine to no avail so if anyone knows a remedy I’d love

Hi, my 10 year old granddaughter had open heart surgery in September to repair 2 holes in her heart .

if you have AF ( with a family history of heart disease as I have) and start getting angina-type symptoms, don’t waste time trying to convince yourself that’s it costocondritis as I did. . Get yourself checked out with an angiogram as soon as possible. In my area it has one of the shortest waiting lists

Has anybody experienced problems getting their INR to a level required for angiogram to be done. I am due to have one on Thursday and expected to have an INR between 2.0 - 3.0 (it's currently 4.0). My health centre and the hospital both say each other are responsible for managing my Warfarin dosing!

In 2017 I had a Laminectomy for Severe Spinal Stenosis in L3/4/5. The operation was successful and for 3/4 months I was completely pain free for the first time in years! In 2018 I had a bad fall and this resulted in having a Rotator Cuff Repair which was successful but by now my spinal pain was back

hi everyone I’m hopefully going in today for the operation tomorrow they are going to contact me later today regards beds so fingers crossed

Hi, I'm thinking about trying a TENS machine for endo pain. I just wondered if anyone has any recommendations of ones which worked for them? Thanks!

Hi All,I am 51 and have been diagnosed with severe Aortic Valve Stenosis! My valve has been monitored since my 20's, I always knew that some day it would need to be replaced, however I a was not expecting the gradient of the valve to change so quickly...Diagnosis was over the phone and to be honest I

I asked for my full CT angiogram report so I can show it to Dr Hunter before my consultation about mini maze. And unbeknownst to be it showed mild mitral valve prolapse and dilated left atrium and appendage. As well as coronary disease. I feel like I can’t get a win ! Another punch to the face so

Hi everyone I hope you are all feeling well this evening That is of course as well as we can be with our dicky hearts I have severe aortic stenosis i had a angiography with dye done 3 weeks ago, a nerve wracking experience as I am highly allergic to the dye and had to be pretreated and trust they

Latest diagnosis. After been diagnosed with A fib after an emergency visit to hospital 6 weeks ago I was put on beta blockers and blood anticoagulant. After experiencing months of breathlessness. Thought I had a chest infection. No improvement! This appointment with the cardiologist I had an echocardiogram

I had phone call this morning telling me I had been booked for a Cardioversion on 02 Feb 23 at Barts hospital to try an correct AF. This will be the first one that I have ever had and to say I am not scared is an understatement. I have had at least 3 ablations, plus two mitral valve replacements,

I have a heart aneurysm measurement 4.9 cm so unfortunately i will have to have open heart surgery.My dad died from heart failure so they think I may have been born with it, but can anyone tell me if a heart aneurysm can make you tired, as my consultant was very vague with the symptoms and I'm

Hi! My dad had his 3rd open heart surgery last July (2021) and he's been poorly ever since. He had a heart infection which went undiagnosed for months (despite lots of GP phonecalls) resulting in an emergency valve replacement (he was born with a hole in the heart and was due another soon anyway but

It was a stressful week last two weeks as my husband had open heart surgery on November 21 and I'm taking care of him at home now. Last night around 9pm I noticed shortness of breath, and a racing heart after doing a lot of work around the house. My Apple watch said I was in atrial fibrillation with

finally had my appointments at hospital, saw a cardiac nurse who gave me an ecg and lots of other Tests,plus details of previous operations and family history. I was told that the hospital did not want me to come home as blood pressure extremely high but I did. After lots of questions the nurse informed

Around 10.30am on Thursday 7th July 2022 I passed out for 2 minutes soon after my morning carers had put me in my wheelchair. They phoned for an ambulance which arrived promptly.
