SWOLLEN HAND
30 months past a heart bypass and 6 months past a pacemaker and in last month been waking up with swollen left hand and wrist. I do sleep on my left side and wear a watch. The swelling goes down during the day but is not usually gone before midnight. No swelling of ankles since about six months after

Lisinopril and Lipitor
I have high blood pressure and Afib. I had an MRI on my brain and the doctor found I have had a couple of strokes. Thankfully they made my left side numb, but nothing more. I take 20mg of lisinopril a day and 80mg of Lipitor. I am continually nauseated, and my leg muscles are weak. I feel off balance

Stuffed mushrooms
Here's a tasty little supper for one which I concocted last night. It was just for me as my husband detests mushrooms with a passion. If you do too, you can potentially stuff the mixture into any veg that would cook quickly. (I'm thinking maybe a thickly sliced ring from a red or yellow sweet pepper

Permanent AF?
The day has finally come where I went to hospital with sudden onset AF to be told that they won’t do anything. I’m to stay on my meds, flecainide and bisoprolol and to go back if I get severe symptoms. They have said a resting heart rate of 130 is fine because I am haemodynamically stable. I am ( still

Xenotransplantation of pig heart
Hello everyone. I’m sure we have all read about the recent pig kidneys transplanted into humans successfully. Well, it appears it’s been done again but this time it looks like a heart transplant was done. It’s too early to tell, but this case here seems to be more beneficial towards making it a reality

Any help?
Good morning Can anyone help? I am really struggling after a car accident in 2019 . I have had radiofrequency ablation and spinal injections but the surgeon said he cannot rule out Fibromyalgia-I'd never heard of this previously, yet I now sympathise with everyone on here. I haven't (as yet) been diagnosed

ADT is similar to a strict, difficult mother-in-law
ADT is similar to a strict, difficult mother-in-law or a picky, cranky father-in-law: It wears us out and makes us tired. It wants us go to bed early, and not stay up late. It wants us to exercise a lot to remain healthy. It wants us to avoid smoking. (See the ABCDE strategy mentioned by Dr. Alicia

Best foundation for telangiectasia?
Hi all, Anyone out there found a good foundation to cover telangiectasia on the face? I was diagnosed with systemic sclerosis 3 years ago.

Pain and breathlessness. Specialist says I'm not breathing properly. He has referred me to physio for breathing correctly!

Severe angina symptoms without significant obstruction
I am new to this forum and wonder if anyone can cast any light on my symptoms. Saw GP at the end of August last year with breathlessness on exercise and she diagnosed possible angina. Only 3 weeks before I had spent a whole day working on my allotment but by the time I went to the GP I was struggling

Still irregular pulse
Hi, I have had PAF since 2014. I am lucky that I don't have many symptons apart from a slight thudding feeling in my chest and an irregular pulse. The episodes used to be monthly then I had 6 in a couple of weeks, but for the last 3 years they've been very intermittent for which I'm very grateful. An

Heart palpitations/skipped beats after eating dinner?
Hi everyone, I haveTruncus Arteriosus and have had my valve replaced once when I was a baby (due another heart surgery at some point when I need it) So for about over half a year I’ve been having heart palpitations/skipper heart beats after I eat my dinner, normally about 10-20mins after eating.

Spironolactone Side Effects
A couple days ago there was a discussion about severe leg swelling due to heart failure. Several of you mentioned better results with Spironolactone than you had with Lasix. I plan to talk to my Dr about it. But can those of you using Spironolactone please let me know about any side effects or problems

Too much safety giving me anxiety!!!
Hi everyone on here. I hope everyone had a Happy New year and is doing well. I haven’t posted in a while and I think it’s due time. Writing on here does give me the support and help I need, especially in these crazy uncertain times. I have OCD, and severe depression. I fell into a deep depression
