Experiences with

Premature birth

I've had a lletz procedure so knew I'd need cervical length scans and had a higher risk of premature birth. I've just found out i also have low papp-a and although I'm a midwife it's something I have very limited knowledge on.

However when I was speaking to the nurse yesterday after my baseline scan she kept going through all the risks with me which has really worried me, some of which were… more likely to miscarry, premature birth which could cause developmental issues, could split and have triplets!

Too often after eating a small meal between 5:00 & 6:30pm, I’ll notice I have rather frequent bigeminy beats. Most of the time, this is always in the evening, after dinner when I’m relaxing, my body sitting upright but in a comfy chair with my legs up. Is it weird that this occurs mostly and always

I began my Atrial Fibrillation journey in January and have now been on Apixaban and bisoprolol since then. I have noticed a few episodes lately of sinus rhythm with Premature ventricular contraction and one sinus rhythm with Supraventricular ectopy so I am seeing the doctor tomorrow to find out what

good morning all My Platelets count dropped gradually to 100 (now)below 150-450 and PVC ( equivalent to Haematocrit) dropped to 26.9% well below accepted rage of 39-47%. I am on holidays overseas. The above two figures about a month back were 188 and 40.5%. Both measurements overseas. Haemoglobin

I had a cryoablation 3 1/2 years ago for AF which was successful. No AF since. During the last three years I’ve had periods where I’ve had ectopics which have not been bothersome . Often during a cold or infection. For the last five or six weeks, I’m getting almost constant PVCs. Not really causing

Had consultation with electrophysiologist (EP) re: Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA). I asked: "Will you be doing the ablation? And only you?" Answer: "This is a teaching hospital. There will be a trainee present and the trainee will work on you." This causes me concern. Is it normal to have a trainee work

Hi everyone. 51 years of age, have PAF, take Flecainide. On 27 Feb I had (for me) a really severe episode of AF that lasted approximately 14 hours. When seen at hospital it had stopped. Following this my heart has been persistently irregular which I've been extremely aware of and has stopped me from

I’ve been ill for one year. Started with insomnia and daytime grogginess to the point of stupor. In the past year I have had various add on symptoms. (Taking serequel and remeron to help me sleep Plus Requip for restless legs which started in August 2024. I have a tremor plus sore stiff hands. And

I’ve been prescribed 10mg Carbimazole. I’m hesitating to take it since symptoms seem mild and TRab and TPO are improving (though only 2 tests). Any help appreciated😊. 1. Mild palpitations (week 1) triggered GP blood test. This and subsequent tests showed the following: consistently low TSH, high FT3

I’ve been having high HR episodes, chest pain/discomfort and an increase in runs of PVCs. had a 24hr monitor and my GP said it is /okay/ but there were some jumps to 190bpm at rest and my HR got very high for just walking too. Had a resting 12 lead ecg too and all that got sent to cardiology my GP

Hi can I just ask had afib for a few years had a few cardioversions and an ablation after my last cardioversion 5 months ago seem to be in sinus rhythm and not too bad fingers crossed however seem to be having premature ventricular contractions every so often is this normal 🙂 thx

Hi everyone, firstly I wanted to thank everyone who responded to my recent post asking for advice. Based on the recommendations I purchased a 6- lead device from Amazon at the beginning of the week for £129. In short I am very impressed. I am 51years old and have PAF for 10 years (no ablation to date

Or had other arrhythmia postop(other than AF)?

Lately I've noticed frequent palpitations, more than usual. Diagnosed with PVC's and SVT. Just concerned about why so frequently. EKG normal as of 2/27/25.

My Kardia device has recently recorded other Arrythmias along with my normal PAF. I have been getting mainly Super-Ventricular Ectopy, also Atrial Fibrilation with Wide QRS and Sinus Rhythm with Premature Ventricular Contractions. Does anyone have the same experience and could this be caused by Flecainide

IF I have a Pulsed Field Ablation for my Afib, will that also treat my ectopy and PVCs? Or, are there separate treatments for ectopy and PVCs?

Hi everyone, first time posting… History of short runs of svt, nsvt, bijemny etc. PVCs increasing, ECG - showed unifocal PVCs Echo - normal Stress test - cardiologist was concerned PVCs were present at max heart rate. Arranged a ctca to rule out coronary artery disease and mri scan. Ctca - normal

I had an NStemi last year. Over the past 24 hours my Kardia device has been recordings multiple PACs, PVCs and Sinus pauses. Should I contact my GP

My September ablation (effectively a top-up to my successful 2002 ablation) was reasonably successful in terms of stopping atrial fast rhythms, but they can't get at my PVCs as I have a mechanical aortic valve. So I was discharged on 60 mg Diltiazem and 2 x 50 mg Flecainide. This didn't do much, but
