Edoxaban dangers
Yesterday, 28 Mar 22, I received a letter from my local surgery stating that a review of my medication had taken place by a consultant cardioligist and that I was being moved from Apixaban to Edoxaban as it was cheaper and was not detrimental to my health. It transpires On my medical records had been

AFib, Post Ablation, & Sex
I haven't seen this topic here and I don't know if it's within the guidelines but here goes: What relationship have folks here experienced between sex, Afib, and the post-Ablation period? When my Afib started, there was some correlation between having episodes after having had sex. Apparently, sexual

Questioning everything
This is mostly a venting so I apologize, I just need to get some things out of my head. I have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. I've definitively and repeatedly connected it to my digestive system. In my most recent encounter with a doctor directly after I had been taken via ambulance to

Good morning uncomfortable feeling after crt-d implanted 5 weeks ago
Sorry guys and gals I'm back with another yes another daily worry, so after my crt-d was implanted I noticed maybe a couple of weeks ago that under my left arm pit and sort of on the edge of armpit and left pec it feels uncomfortable, has anyone else had anything like the same? I wasn't sure if it's

BIATRIAL DILATION?
I’m 54 had heart bypass in October. My latest echo shows biatrial dilation. Any ideas what it is or how it will affect me?

Thinning skin and purpura from inhaled steroids
Hi all. I have been taking a low dose inhaler ( fostair 100/6 for the last 3 years and already have issues with crepe paper skin, which cuts easily. Also if a bang my arm or even give it a scratch I get blood under the surface ( think that’s what is called purpura) I’m only 58 and always have kept fit

First degree AV block - can it be caused by bisoprolol?
Hi All, This morning I did a ‘random’ Kardia (6L) ECG and it came back that I was in sinus Rythm with wide QRS. It was a one off and five mins later I did another one (and many others since) and all in normal SR. I sent it off for a clinician review as I’ve been worried about it all day and they’ve come

Fluid in lungs after cabg, heart bypass
Dear All So we went for my husband's first post op appointment today. There was fluid in his lungs post operation., which was 5.5 weeks ago. He took a diuretic medication as per the doctor's prescription. Today, from the x Ray, the Dr saw that the fluid is still there. He said that he is not worried

Recovery after Mitral Valve Replacement
A week since discharged from hospital after MVR. Healing well in general. 14 days since the actual operation. For example my breathing is much better and I can even sleep on my back. Although i hear the ticking sound of the mechanical valve it stopped bothering me after the first day. INR levels playing

Post surgical stretching
I am now 2 weeks post open heart surgery for AVR. I have read on this site NOT to raise my arms above shoulder height as part of cardiac rehab, yet US hospital sites do recommend raising an arm alternatively over head to keep shoulders etc moving. Thoughts pls? I am starting to ache in my neck and shoulder

Flec only
Hi Motov. I take flec daily and use it as a PIP when I get an AF episode. When originally diagnosed in 2015 I was given bisoprolo as well but could not tolerate this as it brought me to a complete standstill, my GP took me off it. Taking apixaban of course. My AF episodes settled into a pattern after

10 days afib now finished HR too low?
After 10 days of seeing heart rate mainly over 100 but zooming up and down, it is now on the 50s and little energy to move. Presumable the Bisoprolol working too well. Is this normal? I am not faint or dizzy

The importance of speaking to the right person & being persistent.
Well I went back into AFib 9 days after CV. Tachycardia, breathless ,light headed. I phoned the Arrythmia nurses number & was told it is a shame it didn't work but to get my Gp to do an ECG & send it to email.They would look at it & go from there.Probably decide to do a 24 monitor & see me in clinic.Waiting

Not to complain, but . . . maybe I need some reassurance?
I had a rough time in the recovery period from my cryo ablation at the end of June last year, after a promising start. Then, since October last year I've had a lovely period without any major problems. Sure, I'm sensitive now to whatever my heart is doing, and when I lie down in bed I can feel my heart

Fisiocrem
Has anyone tried fisiocrem? Sounds a bit like deep heat. I wondered if it's OK to use alongside pred. I'm not holding out much hope for it but I'm willing to try anything to sort out my neck ache! Here's the description of it: "Fioscrem soothing massage rub for use on tense and contracted muscle areas

Status Update Post-atrial Cardioäblation:
Had rapid atrial quivering/fibrillation develop in Feb '21 while I was focused on avoiding a second heart attack after having had a major one 9½ years earlier. Got put on meds to see if AFib could be managed that way but worsened to the point that by Aug, my heart was tracked at 244 BPM and I'd collapsed
