Heart Rhythm Conditions – Welcome to the group

Yes I do do have a rhythm problem my heart skips beat’s sometimes more then one at a time so they are trying to figure out why I do do a cardiologist and a good primary care doctor she the one that put me on the nitrogen incase I need it because the hospital ER gave it to help me when I was there , my BP is doing a lot better , the left ventricle I have a leak they done a stress test and say I’m a low risk but my chest pain tells me different it was 65% low risk I’m still learning a lot they said I was born it intarventricular conduction defect IVCD they do know about my family history I’m just trying to understand and learn all I can right now I ask a lot of questions but they don’t seem to want to share any information they don’t have to they tell me oh that test has not been read yet a lot I’m sure it has it’s been three months now so thank you letting me bend your ear have a good night sleep and a great day tomorrow ❤️🌼😎

Your more than welcome. Im not a doctor so understand I can't diagnose anything but can be an ear to listen (via Chat) and share things that I also have gone thru. So, I hope I can help more in way of support to understand something I have experienced myself.
I gather from your post so far that they are monition you and you have a leaking valve which depending on which value is quite common. I myself had what they called a heart Murmur which is the sound it makes when it closes and a small amount of blood leaks thru. That I actually had maybe since a kid myself and did not lead to my other problems. Now I'm guessing they are treating the BP problem with medication? Has you BP improved?
As for the pain I personally have not had any pain per say or on Nitro for the heart itself. I do know that a blockage depending on how much can cause pain . You mentioned a family history did you bring that up with your Doctors? also on that note Im assuming you are under the care of a cardiologist, You had mentioned rhythm problems in a prior post, did they say anything about what kind of rhythm problems. Thats the area I'm most familiar with. So my hope is that you can get some more answers as to the whole picture. I myself can relate to the fear of what's next so I'm hoping you receive some answers soon. Do you have a follow-up scheduled once all the tests are in?

Thank you I’m sure I’m going to need advice right now I’ve had a few problems and hospital trip had a lot of testing and done 2 monitors tests I also a leaky valve and a partly clogged artery so my Doctor gave Somme nitrogen pills for chest pains but they have not done anything other then a bunch of test and monitoring my high BP so I’m not sure what’s going on other then a bunch of tests and a Doctor visit every few months I can’t seem to get test results unless I complain about not being told what’s going
I have my chart so they should be posting but they are not so I’m sure what’s going on or what there pain is at this time it seems to me like it’s not to important to them but I’m really worried because most of my family has died from heart related issues sorry not trying to dump my problem on you my friend
But thank you for your support ❤️🌼

Hi Jerrilyn, Welcome. If I can be of any help please ask. I ended up with heart rhythm problems due to a bad flu case that caused an enlargement in my heart. So, for about 10 years went thru pacemaker treatments and
along with medications for arrythmias with Ventricular Tachycardia the main diagnoses.

Thank you

Good morning. I have been in and out of AFIB for over a year, have a sleep study scheduled in April and an ablation procedure scheduled for July. Taking Eliquis(5mg 2xday) and Losartan(50mg 1 x perday). I am interested in the type of magnesium recommended by anyones doctor. I was taking magnesium citrate and have switched to magnesium taurate which had a lot of positive anecdotal reviews about managing AFIB but curious if anyone has an opinion. Also my Cardiologist with VCU uses cryo for ablation. Will ask him about PFA. I did see a positive article on the PFA procedure dated Dec, 2019 so will be asking him about Cryo vs PFA.

@lorraine do you have afib? Continuous or sporadic? How frequently?

Mary. I have mitral valve regurgitation with irregular heartbeat. Last summer my cardiologist put me on Eliquis. I don't like talking it. I read that blood thinners are not as effective in preventing a stroke in women.

Hi Deborah, just checking in, were you able to get scene about you blood pressure problems? Were you successful in getting that cardio appointment?

Hi my heart rate is low but when I stand up it goes too high. I have low blood pressure which has dropped to 50 over 42 when I stand up. Some times I fall down. I am on meds now though. Just a couple of weeks ago my heart started to feel weird and it felt like there was so much pressure in my head. When I went to the hospital, I was driving when it happened, my blood pressure was 245 over 145. They hooked me up and just caught the end of it. Was sent to do a cardio stress test which was fine except for the low blood pressure. My heart went into a abnormal heart rhythm when I was in the hospital, which was for something else. These abnormal rhythms only happen when I am not doing anything. The Dr in the hospital wants my Dr to send me to see a cardio Dr. The low blood pressure only started happening after I recovered from septic shock. Anyone have any ideas what could be going on? Also my mother died of cardiac arrest when she was 57.
