Health/travel insurance...post-Brexit?!
I have advanced heart failure, take lots of medication and have a
pacemaker
and defibrillator fitted, but generally manage to avoid visiting hospitals for anything other than planned check-ups.

I am due to have a
pacemaker
fitted on 28th January in St Thomas’ in London but I have had a bad chest infection and I am on my second lot of antibiotics and steroids. I feel ok in myself now but have this hacking cough, will they still be able to do it as I know they do it by local anaesthetic.

HELP! My Endo's PA is giving me grief re med dosages based on recent labs.
I had my cardiologist's blessing for a very low TSH as my
pacemaker
made related cardiac problems a non-issue. The Endo was fine with this. My cardio visit in Dec 2018 shows a very stable cardiac status.

For those pondering about a CRT Pacemaker
I have read many posts from people worrying over going down the CRT
Pacemaker
route. Afterall it does mean having your hearts natural
pacemaker
burned out and being dependent on technology for the rest of your life. A huge decision.

Arrhythmia without a label yet
I am scared to opt for sinus node modification or ablation as that will most probably lead to a
pacemaker
. (At 34!) All blood tests are perfectly normal. Is there no way to cure this without risk?

My husband has dilated cardiomyopathy
He had to leave work and now has a
pacemaker
and defibrillator fitted. The defibrillator shocked him 3 times last week when his heart beat hit 180. I bought a heart monitor for him to wear and today his heart beat went up to 170 for a second when he was sitting down.

irregular heartbeat
Last December I completed a pace and ablate, which leaves me
pacemaker
dependent. Two weeks ago I was in A&E due to shortness of breath. I was diagnosed with left sided heart failure and given frusemide together with the Indapamide. I saw my GP on Friday and she sent me for urgent Blood test.

Longstanding Paroxysmal af: What next for me?
I had a
pacemaker
fitted in 2005 following a reaction after amiodorone which paces me at 60. Then 5 years AF clear then episodes started again. I've had 3 ablations in past 5 years and my EP says there's nothing left to ablate and is just offering AV node ablation.

New to Group - Chicago
After two EGD's, I am slowly waiting to have my anticoagulants restarted (I have a
pacemaker
and chronic a fib). Meanwhile I just started on Bumex to drain off the fluid from my belly. My Metoprolol was changed to Propanolol as it is supposed to help the esophageal varices that were banded.
