In Praise of the NHS
I've been suffering from indigestion for a few weeks, I was diagnosed with angina 10 years ago and had a HA resulting in 2 stents being fitted 19 months ago.......as you can guess the indigestion feeling sent alarm bells ringing, when I had my HA I thought it was indigestion. I phoned our surgery

Kardio Mobile ECG
Does anyone have experience of using this device and app to detect AF and has it proved useful? I am thinking of purchasing this but would like to know what other folk think of it. Only recently diagnosed and finding it very worrisome. Any advice would be appreciated.

*update* Sensitive: HCG plateaued and clinic not offering any help
As everyone has been so supportive and helpful a quick but rather sad update: went for a private scan today and they couldn't see anything like a viable pregnancy - just a mass of what they called septations (no idea), possibly a haematoma and fluid. They couldn't see the tubes and only one ovary (with

5+4 weeks with tested embryo and good HCG results but terrified for viability scan
Hi all, I'm newly pregnant (currently 5.4 weeks). I've had two good HCG blood test results, the first was >700 at 12dp6dt and the second was >1800 at 14dpt. My clinic says these are good numbers and don't recommend I test again, but I'm already struggling with the wait for the viability scan. I'm terrified

Junctional Rhythm
I have had Paroxysmal Afib since 2017, and take Warfarin and Bisoprolol ( now been 5mgs twice daily for a year ). No other drugs. I have been having a lot of unclassified results on my Kardia lately. A few is normal and I always thought it was interference or similar, or me not being still enough. However

Living with presumed myocarditis which turned out to be MI
Sorry for this long post. I couldn't think how to make it shorter. I've found it hugely helpful to read the posts on this forum so I thought I'd reach out to seek some support and wisdom. My husband was fit and active (we enjoyed leisure cycling 15-20 miles, walking, gardening etc) until Oct '21. A

I am a 58 year old woman with a 3 generational history of dilated cardiomyopathy, including mother who had a heart transplant at 50 and am also a carrier of Becker muscular dystrophy, which carries an increased risk of DCM.

TSH in normal range but...
Had some blood tests late December as a follow up from an ECG (no problems). In the little time I had with the GP I raised concerns about thyroid function (sister and brother both diagnosed hypo decades ago). I mentioned a number of symptoms. TSH (the only thyroid test done) came back at 3.1, no action
