Experiences with

Progressive cardiac conduction defect (PCCD)

In 1998, aged 34, I had a heart attack for which I received great treatment from the NHS at Northwick Park. My wife was pregnant with our second son at that time and in January 1999 he was born. Following roughly 10 years of AF I had ablation in 2009. On 31 August, aged 59, I suffered a cardiac

2 questions:1. I am seeking a good EP in the Boston, MA USA area. Has anyone had an ablation in the Boston, MA area? And can you recommend an EP? 2. Has anyone had a cardiac ablation at Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA? Thank you!

Hi everyone, I hope you can help me?! On June 1 2022 I had a heart attack followed by cardiac arrests both in and out of hospital. In July 2022 I had a CRT-D fitted (an ICD device). For the next 17 months I steadily improved and then in January this year I tried a little too hard, got a bit stressed

I was diagnosed with A-Flutter 3 years ago by an Electrophysiologist that came to work for the Cardiology department of the Cardiologist I have been seeing for several years because of an artificial mitral heart valve. She informed me that I had been in A-Flutter for approximately one year. The only

Post procedure advice contradictory. Am I silly to be scared of taking a flight for an hour to Dublin for work ,2 weeks after my procedure?Just been slowly walking and off work.I am a classical freelance Doublebass player. Would love to hear if anyone else has this experience.

I had my cardiac ablation on Friday 30/8/24 general aneasthetic and home yesterday. Chest a bit sore but not too bad and most of all AF is gone although still some ectopics. I know its early days though the EP did say he had identified the AF locations and is confident he has ablated them. He told me

Hi all, Since I had a Cardiac ablation in 2022, I have struggled with not being able to exert myself on exercise. Just recently confirmed moderate hyperinflation, with an 'unfurled pulmonary aorta '. Did not have breathing issues before the ablation. Would appreciate hearing from anyone who may have

Hello: Has anyone had a cardiac ablation. If so, has this remedied the paroxysmal AFib and have you been able to get off blood thinners and beta blockers ?

I had cardiac ablation for AFib and was put on Sotalol to help keep my heart in normal sinus rhythm. I have had unpleasant side effects, one of which was numbness in my feet, legs and tingling in my fingers. I also have nausea almost all the time. I told by the medical community that numbness isn’

Hey all! I'd like to see if anyone can weigh in on what I am going through here... I'm a healthy 38 y/o male who got SVT suddenly in September 2021. It initially came on several hours after playing hockey, but then happened sporadically with triggers besides exercise. It would last anywhere from a few

I have found the Therapulse device to be very effective in managing my RLS. I had a cardiac ablation for atrial fibrillation last week and am now in the three month recovery period, just easing back into normal life, and trying to avoid any triggers for AF. Using the Therapulse never seemed to affect

I had my first ever positive pregnancy test last week after 3 cycles of ovulation induction with letrozole. Still can’t quite believe it and testing daily just to check it’s still positive 😅 I think I am probably 4 weeks…. Based on my last bleed with provera but ovulated late on letrozole. I have

Hi, I’ve surprisingly had a positive pregnancy test following my third cycle of letrozole (first and only time I’ve responded to letrozole). Feeling very surprised, shocked and happy. I’m day 17 post trigger shot / day 16 post ovulation. I told my fertility clinic Friday of the positive test and

Hi All, New to the forum, so hello! I just wanted a little advice & reassurance really. I had cardiac ablation for WPW following an episode of SVT a few years ago and had no cardiac issues following that. Recently I attended A&E twice with chest pain, bloods normal but ecg read non specific abnormality

I am going away with 2 friends, both who know my infertility journey and struggles with TTC. (PCOS, 18months TTC, 2 cycles of Letrozole for ovulation induction which I haven’t responded to). We would all talk about being on maternity leave together, our future babies etc and are all very close friends

Hi, I was just wondering for those who went through ovulation induction, how long did it take for follicle size to reach 18mm? I’m currently day 13 and follicles are 11.5mm, so I’m just wondering what everyone else’s experiences were? Thanks.

I was on 7mg prednisone, easing into 6.75, when I had my cardiac ablation on April 15. Went back to 7 mg however, upped it with cardiac inflammation, 5 mgs for 5 days and resumed 7. Then I developed a chest cold with fever and put on abx. Used sick day rules and now back to 7. It takes 3 months for

Hi everyone, I'm just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience. I have unexplained infertility and have had absent periods for 2 years. I was first put on letrozole for 3 cycles which did not help me ovulate, before moving onto injections (Ovaleap). I'm on the wait list for IVF but Dr said

Hi there, I am a 31M fit and healthy and suffer from a high frequency of left ventricle premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) with a ~18% burden. They are coming from a small area near the LF papillary muscle . I had an ablation under a very skilled EP in London who successfully ablated the problematic

I’ve started my first round of ovulation induction for PCOS with Letrozole 2.5mg. Had my day 10 scan yesterday. Follicles very small and no dominant follicle. Been TTC for 18 months (which I know isn’t that long compared to others), have put so much into this process - I have lost so much weight to
