Breathing Problems - COPD?
Well I have breathing problems, not the normal COPD Flare Ups. For a while now I have been getting short of breath to easily. Feeling worse in myself also. I made an appointment with my excellent GP - She listened to everything I had to say. My BP normally low was normal, my O2 sats no worse than

Feeling ‘flat’ a year after bypass
I am a year post op after an ‘out of the blue’ heart attack and triple bypass. I have also been a Type 1 diabetic for 42 years. I had an unremarkable recovery. No problems apart from a wound infection months after operation when I also had COVID. I wasn’t really ill then either. My life has returned

Chest spasms
Help again please. I have had PMR for over 2.5 years and was taking 4 mg Pred daily. I started with TMJ which was eased with Ibroprofen. A week later I had sore eyeballs and the headache was further up my head. I have all the symptoms of GCA so had my Temporal Artery Biopsy yesterday. All went well so

LVDD (Left Ventricle Diastolic Dysfunction) - Diuretic/ARB
I am from India aged 51 yrs. I got my CABG done for single artery (LAD) 6 months back. Post surgery I developed breathlessness and could not walk out for two months. Though i consulted many doctors only one doctor gave me diuretic Torasemide 5mg and that helped me to walk as my breathlessness improved

The article referred to below
This paper is behind a paywall, so I'll get it elsewhere. But it shows the benefits of giving T3 to patients after heart failure. This is just the abstract

Covid and Sinus Rhythm with Supraventricular Ectopy
Hi, Since my very successful ablation in November 20 I have been in normal sinus rhythm. I have contracted Covid, and have flu like symptoms. My Kardia (Advanced Determination) now reports I have Sinus Rhythm with Supraventricular Ectopy. I know that Covid can induce heart arrythmias, is this something

Travel Insurance
My son had open heart surgery to repair a large VSD at 5 months old. It was successful, but he still has mitral valve regurgitation and takes regular meds. We are planning to have our first family holiday in the summer. Which insurers would you recommend to get travel insurance with? Any advice is much

Mini Maze Procedures, there is a place for all, my personal view
I am sure I am not the only one who has been saddened by the recent heated discussions on the mini maze. I live in the U.K. and have recently had a mini maze where this is currently a lesser known and used procedure. Catheter ablations (and meds) are the standard in the U.K. and Catheter ablations

Heart surgery
I go into hospital tomorrow for open heart surgery to replace my aortic valve. I was in hospital just before Easter to have a TAVI . My surgeon decided I was a candidate for OpH surgery. Bit daunting but looking forward to having a better quality of life!

Third open heart surgery
Hi there, my partner has been diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis and will need a valve replacement soon. He has congenital heart disease and this will be his third open heart surgery. Has anyone here undergone multiple surgeries? How was it? There isn't much information online and I'm keen to know

Heart surgery and Hashimotos
Has anyone had heart surgery and then gone on to be diagnosed with Hashimotos/ under active thyroid. I’m just looking to connect with anyone in a similar situation.

AF, ablation and odd heart rhythms
I had an ablation for AF in Dec. Since the procedure I have only experienced one short 3 min run of AF, but my heart has been very unsettled over the last five months. Recently, I've been suffering bouts of tachycardia (140 BPM for a minute or two is about as bad as it gets) at night, which are manageable

To do it or not to do it? Ablation and other things.
We often get asked "should I have an ablation?" and from time to time my answer has been "When the pupil is ready the teacher will come" meaning that when the AF is bad enugh you won't need to ask. This happened to me way back along when I declined the first offer of ablation but within six months was
