Pain and breathlessness. Specialist says I'm not breathing properly. He has referred me to physio for breathing correctly!
I had a heart bypass op some 20 years ago. I've been diagnosed with my left diaphragm not working properly. Other specialists have said it's asthma and yet another specialist said I've got lung disease. I can only push out 200 to 250 on plastic thingy, sorry forgot what it's called, and have pain

Muscle weakness on Lupron/Zytiga
Lately I’ve been having awful weakness in my legs…l’ll get down on my knees to do something and I can’t get up without grabbing onto something to pull myself up. Is this normal for one or both of those drugs? Kind of worries me that my mobility could be affected. Thanks!

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

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

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

Open Heart Surgery Coming Up: Questions and Advise
Hi all! Happy New Year. I have been lurking around for a while and found some great tips here! My first post/question. I am 45 years old and will have aortic valve replacement next week. Mechanical valve. I will be in blood thinners for life? How bad is bleeding on a minor cut? Or on a nose bleeding

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

Advice please
I've had paroxysmal AF for around 3 years and my episodes are extremely erratic. I can go several months with nothing at all and then out of the blue, it'll happen every couple of weeks. I'm on Lisinopril for high blood pressure and was prescribed Bisiprolol and Apixaban when the PAF was finally diagnosed

COVID Booster risk/benefit
I'm curious how your docs are advising you on whether to get a COVID booster. (I'm interested what doctors are advising, not any personal opinions of patients.) My oncologist has been encouraging COVID booster for "immune compromised" patients (e.g. under chemotherapy) but discouraging booster for "immune

A couple of suggestions to make dealing with incontinence easier.
About 12 years post RP I began having incontinence issues which totally changed my OOL. Diapers are expensive in Thailand plus the fact that your entire bottom gets wet. I came up with this simple, inexpensive way of dealing with my problem. I just wrap the little guy up in a couple of paper towels and

Atrial clip
Anyone had an atrial clip fitted or know anything about them. I have recently had open heart surgery for leaky valve and surgeon's assistant told me afterwards we have also done an atrial clip as you have had AF in the past. From what I can see on the Internet it prevents you ever having a stroke from

Flec only
Hi Motov. I take flec daily and use it as a PIP when I get an AF episode. When originally diagnosed in 2015 I was given bisoprolo as well but could not tolerate this as it brought me to a complete standstill, my GP took me off it. Taking apixaban of course. My AF episodes settled into a pattern after
