Hi all. I suffer with Severe Spinal Stenosis. I’ve already had Laminectomy (Decompression) surgery which only worked for about 3 months the pain then returned. This has been going on for the last 5 years and, unfortunately, in the meantime I had to have a Triple Heart Bypass and Mitral Valve Repair

Hair Loss on Warfarin
Hi all, I don’t post very often. I’ve been taking warfarin since February 2021 after having two mechanical valves fitted. I know that I will need to see my doctor about this, but I am losing my hair, and it’s noticeable now, especially at the front. Does anyone else have this? What can be done to

Good Morning everyone, just trying to understand to make sure it isn’t just me. But has anyone suffered with depression and PTSD after series heart surgery, because I have and wanted to make sure I wasn’t alone, although I do at times feel depressed, I was 17 when I had surgery. And just now wanted advice

I was visiting my family early in December (2023) After a few days I had a tightness/pain in my chest which went away after sitting down. All was well for the next few days and the same thing happened again. The third time it happened, my wife suggested we visit A&E. A number of tests were done and

Cardiologist or electrophysiologist?
Hi everyone,This is only my second post and I found all your responses very helpful. I hadn't heard of electrophysiologists until I joined the group, but I have done some research and there are electrophysiologists in a hospital near me. I have a constant fast heartbeat and am diagnosed with bigeminy

Should one asymptomatic and isolated AF episode be medicated?
Hi Forum. At my pre op assessment (for hip surgery) last Monday the ECG showed AF. No symptoms at all, I walk my dogs +/- 4 miles daily. My BP machine shows normal resting heart rate and BP. So on strength of one ECG my GP has prescribed anticoagulant tabs which I know is for the AF risk of clotting.
