Help please, my sisters ESA benefit has been stopped
Hi, I don’t know if anyone can offer advice but my 38 year old sister has very severe Empysema, she was diagnosed about 10 years ago. She recently went for an Employment support allowance assessment and the health care assessor asked my sister to blow into a peak flow meter and didn’t believe my sister

Pappone (CPVA)
Hello, I was diagnosed with afib at 38 this past May. Was working nights for 13 years and was around 300 pounds and wasn't eating or sleeping well at all. I have had PAC’s and some PVC’s in the past with OCD and anxiety. The worst of all of this is I feel everything even PAC’s. I know the moment

Newly Diagnosed and Terrified!!
Had my first noticable Afib spell a couple months ago. Was woken out of a sleep with it and called 911, pulse was around 270. Was not aware of what it was so I believed I was dying. I was hospitalized for 3 days. Blood work, continuous heart monitoring, Nuclear Stress test, calcium scan (result 0) and

PVCs?
Does anyone suffer from these weird heart beats worse when you have a cold? I've been dealing with a chest cold and sinus pressure for about a week and have been having PVCs every day! I know I've read before that an infection can cause these but my whole family has had this cold/flu whatever it is and

Hi everyone, early onset AF and changes in condition. Embarrassingly anxious 😟
Hi everyone, It’s nice to find this forum - but also unfortunate to see so many with AF! I was diagnosed with paroxysmal AF when I was 36 not long after my Daughter’s birth. I had months of “its anxiety/PND/tiredness” before an echo revealed a very slightly floppy mitral valve with mild regurge; this

Pvcs
So, I had pvcs (. Heart palpitations) for a little over 3 weeks. Well, they stopped about 3 days ago and now I'm unsure how I feel about that. It's like having your check engine light on for awhile, and you get use to it but when it turns off, you wonder why and worry cus it turned off. That's how I

Hubby and emphysema
Hi, I'm new on this site and as I have been worrying my self nuts, thought to write some thoughts. My hubby was diagnosed with Emphysema Stage 2 (his FEV1 is 63.25%) and also hearth wall thickness last month. As I have read, both of them are incurable and just a matter of time how the diseases progress

Kardia -- again!

Can one tell the difference between a PVC and a PAC
Is there a way to understand, either via the Kardia or simply through understanding the sensation, if an ectopic is a PAC or a

A new milestone
So far so good. Yesterday as check up day for my icd. I have full blown AFib all the time now. Resting rate of 120. My curiosity always gets me when I go in for check up. So, I asked what the highest my fib has gotten. 300 beats a minute. That's not too bad for me these days since I no longer get shocked

PIP FOR COPD
Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone could help or has experience of applying for PIP. I have had an assessment and got 6 points, none of which were for COPD, but a comparatively minor element (Supra.. Tendonitis). I have read the assessment report, which showed the assessor had no understanding of

Pvcs and sex
I recently noticed I have pvcs for the last few weeks. I'm currently waiting to do an echo ,next week ,and had a holter on for 24 hours. Haven't heard back from dr yet. I did have blood work come back as all good. er dr say the pvcs look benign. My dad recently died so probably due to that. My question

Heart health anxiety.
Geez here I go again fearing a heart attack. I literally just had a 2 week heart monitor on (results: harmless pvc's which I was offered beta blockers but was told didn't have to take them unless I wanted to not deal with palpitations.) And I had blood work done with the results being, I'm healthy and

Very severe COPD with atypical symptons
I've never posted before, just commented. I'm posting now because I'm not sure if I'm unusual! I have very severe COPD, charmingly named "end stage", FEV1 21% and been at that sort of level for several years. I have "bad days" but I don't think I have real exacerbations - I'll cough and huff more but
