AF and the flu jab
Could anyone tell me if your are entitled to the free flu jab if you have AF, the reason I ask was the doctors said yes but when I went to have it they said it wasn't on their list and as it was not written on my notes by the doctor they could not give it to me. I have been in constant AF since I was

Hair loss treatments
Hi everyone! I’m new. I can’t believe I’ve only just found Verity and this forum! I recently got diagnosed although I suspected it for a long time as I have acne, body hair, and most recently I’ve noticed hair loss too. It’s all very depressing but I recently found hope by reading that Spironalactone

Advice on hair loss due to methotrexate
Hello all, just wondering if anyone has some advice on how best to treat the hair loss that comes as a side effect of methotrexate? I’m currently on 25mg and expect it will go up due to it having no positive affect on my arthritis, but unfortunately causing hair loss, nauseousness and headaches! I’m

More first aid - heart attack vs cardiac arrest
My post yesterday regarding first aid for cardiac arrest highlighted another common misunderstanding - the difference between heart attack and cardiac arrest. This BHF graphic makes it pretty clear, thought it might be worth sharing.

CPR/Defibrillator first aid for cardiac arrest
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2z5bjrvYl8 This BBC Three video popped up in my Twitter feed this morning (courtesy of BHF) and I thought some of you might be interested in it. It's a really good public information film, I think, showing what to do if you are present when someone has a cardiac arrest

Diagnosed with APS in 1998/99, on coumadin since 1996
I got a blood clot when I was 19. Doctors didn't know why, and put me on coumadin for 3 months. The symptoms improved, but then after the 3 months of treatment ended, I experienced burning in my fingers and toes. I took an asprin a day and the symptoms resolved. I stopped taking it thinking I didn't

Another question about CTEPH
Hey, about seven years ago, I had a massive saddle pulmonary embolism. Apparently it did a lot of damage to my lungs. I have recently been diagnosed with a moderately enlarged right heart. My ejection fraction is normal, and my PAP is 20.1. The doc said my PAP is completely normal. No Pulmonary Hypertension

Rivaroxaban or Warfarin?
What are the pros and cons of Warfarin against Xarelto (rivaroxaban)? I’ve been on Xarelto for 3 years and I’ve had skin issues constantly and dizziness which I think are side effects of it? Also, the issue of no antidote to reverse the affects of the drug is always a worry in the back of my head..

Flu jab for over 65's
I had the flu jab yesterday, spent the entire night coughing last night and have been terribly breathless today. I feel exactly as I did when I had pneumonia so I have increased my steroids from 10mg to 40mg today. Not feeling any better so think I will try the Clarithomycin as well tomorrow. I have

Defibrillator
Hi, posting on behalf of my husband he recently had a major heart attack and we would like to buy a fully automatic defibrillator. The BHF website advises contacting the local ambulance service which I did a week ago but despite chasing them up I still have not had a reply even advising we would be happy

The form lightning through the face into my teeth and jaw followed by the bellowing clap of shock following it. Horrid condition

In need of a consultant who follows Prof Hughes protocol
Basically I was diagnosed sero negative in 2004 by Prof Hughes and treated with warfarin, later fragmin. Now I have nobody to support me. I don’t want to be on fragmin forever it’s been 3 years now plus I’m getting older too. But I’m afraid to see anybody I’ve had 2 nhs Drs say they’ve not heard of seronegative

Rivaroxaban
I have changed from warfarin to Russians this week. I am feeling really anxious. My heart seems to be beating faster. Has anyone else experienced this?
