Blood clotting and loss - low prothrombin time
Hi guys, Does anyone know much about Prothrombin Time? Mine just came back at 12.5 seconds - my hospital says the range is 12.8-17seconds so I think my blood clots a bit quicker than normal? Does anyone know what the treatment is for that? Sorry I’m not speaking to my doctor until 9th Jan and obvs

Smart Watches and ICD/Pacemakers
Just seen some online articles warning about potential interference but smart watches on icd/pacemakers. I haven't been warned about this by any medical staff at any point, only about the usual with mobile phones and scanners at airports etc. Anyone been advised to avoid smart watches or have any input

What's it like getting a crtd / icd shock
Give me the unvarnished truth! 😆I'm 44, very fit, have a very high pain tolerance, want to here honest experiences about people who have had the big shock... Rather than the version from the doctor, who has never experienced it. I've heard it's like being punched in the chest. But punched by who? Mike

Guidance needed for decision making of implanting ICD
This year in January, I go the MRI done. My MRI reports are suggesting I have wall thickness of 18mm in mid anteroseptal segment, dyskinetic true apex (apical aneurysm) and LGE in basal to mid anterior and septal segments amounting to >30% total myocardial mass. The faulty gene identified is MYH7. I

Recent ICD Fitted
I had an ICD fitted 2 weeks ago . I am still waking up breathless in the early hours most mornings. Has anybody experienced this? Does this settle down as ICD is new?

Persistent afib treatment options, can't tolerate Amiodarone - so many questions...
I'm feeling rather lost at sea, I have so many unknows and questions so I'm sorry if this is a bit messy. Think I'm looking for your experiences and help with what I should ask the cardiologist about/for. BTW we live in the England so NHS. In short... Persistent new onset afib (always bradycardia) since

How long for the intense pain of an ICD install to ease?
Had my ICD installation this morning. Oh my days, it feels like I have a spear through my shoulder ( or how I imagine that would feel anyway!) Consultant said worst pain lasts a week, please tell me he exaggerated, and it won't be too bad in a few days 🤔
