Constant PVCs
Hi, I've had PVCs for 10 years, and take daily Flecainide and Verapamil. All was fine until a month ago when I was in Hospital with Periorbital Cellulitis, following weeks with a virus, which was painful and stressful. While on Hospital , my PVCs got much worse, and have carried on that way since (that

Struggling. Any advice?
hello everyone, I did 3 egg collections last year and one (failed) transfer. I’ve got endometriosis and adenomyosis and unfortunately the ECs flared things to the point that I have pain a lot more than was normal before. I also got OHSS a few times and when our transfer failed… it kind of broke me in

Advice
Hi, I'm after a little advice. I recently had a 5 day ecg and the consultant sent me a letter just stating he 'thinks' everything looks satisfactory. It goes on to state the my left ventricular systolic function reading was normal but low and that it doesn't 'necessarily' mean there's a problem.I'm

Cardiologist being dismissive
Hi, I just wondered if anyone else could offer any advice/or has had similar experiences? I have been getting breathlessness at night, chest pain (sometimes severe) and palpitations for about 2 years. I do also have a diagnosis of generalised anxiety disorder, which I have had for many years, but this

Amiriodone & NDT update
So I was put on Amiodarone post heart surgery 3 1/2 weeks ago. I thought it was a three week course but it's not. Now on 200mg per day for the next few months . And yes I think it's messing my thyroid hormones up. I did protest over taking it...due to its high iodine content and contrary indications.

12 hours urgent treatment centre = Orthostatic hypotension,
after two recent new episodes of crawling around the house on my hands and knees being unable to stand upright I decided to ring the surgery. No telephone appointment or f2f available so called 111 in desperation. They called back within 4 hours, took lots of detail and said they would report to my

appointment update
Well left for my appointment with a HR of 111. ECG hospital HR 174, BP 167/132.- full blown AF. Deposited in chair and wheeled to the consultant. My husband offered to push as the poor nurse wasn’t strong enough ( I only weigh 67kg ). If the resource was available I would have been kept in hospital

Choosing not to have more children
However, my husband was extremely relieved when I told him last year that I don't want another pregnancy as I feel the risk for PP, and for longterm impacts such as bipolar or from treatments such as ongoing medication or
ECT
(which was recommended for my last episode but not administered), is too high

Aortic Valve Replacement Monitoring
I had a surgical aortic valve replacement (tissue valve) in June and I have been lucky enough to have an uneventful recovery. I opted for private surgery because long waits and lack of communication from the NHS was causing me such stress and anxiety and recently retired I had savings I could use.

what is right?
Having had chest pains and breathlessness for a number of years and told it was asthma, despite pumps not working, and originally being told it was angina GTN spray did nothing. Also being told through the years that ECG showed something but still no diagnosis, trips back and forth to A&E. Then four
