One month post AV node ablation
It is almost a month since my AV node ablation and the swelling and shortness of breath have subsided. My pacemaker is currently set to rate response with a range of 80-130. I recently started riding my bike again taking it slow for now until I build my stamina back up. I am feeling much better and except

Endo and oestrogen and risk for blood clots
Hi I suffer with endometriosis. It was discovered during my hysterectomy in 2019. I developed a PE 6 days after surgery and I am now on blood thinners for life. I have been suffering with horrible brain fog, difficulty concentrating and remembering. I get confused because I don't remember things sharply

ATRIAL FIBRILLATION & PMR
After a long, uncomfortable night in the assessment dept of my local hospital I've been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, essentially an irregular heart rhythm which can be very very fast. Felt sick and faint out on a walk earlier, and didn’t get better as time went on. Consultant thinks it may be

mini stroke and medication prescribed
I had a mini stroke last weekend - I personally believe this was due to the extensive rls and periodic limb movements I have experienced over the last two and a half years. I have read research papers that suggest the rapid changes in blood flow with extreme plmd explains why more people with chronic

Refused anticoagulants
Anyway I was told by my EP that if an episode lasted more than 4 days I should start
anticoagulants
- and a letter was sent to my gps to that effect.

No Afib Episodes Then Why Take Blood Thinners
I have a friend who had a cyro ablation in February. He was on amiodarone for a time but then was taken off and has had no Afib now for months. His doctor is offering him a Watchman ( left atrial appendage closure) procedure to eliminate the risk of blood clots. My question is: If a person's cyro ablation

4-months post ablation, what I have been through.
Hi All, Giving an update on my post-ablation progress, which may inform those of you in the same process or more importantly those who are looking for answers to their immediate post-ablation concerns. A caveat, read on my experience but always talk to your EP. You may follow from my previous posts,

Is stopping Dabigatran for 5 days an overkill?
If so, did you need to stop
anticoagulants
so far in advance? I will contact my cardiologist to get his thoughts, but I am not happy about doing that.

Claudication in the legs
I have recently joined. I wish I had done so two years ago. I have just read a description of Claudication of the legs and realised that is exactly what I have been experiencing. Having had Claudication of the jaw during GCA I can’t think why I didn’t relate it. Possibly because old GP mentioned steroid

Essential Thrombocytosis and having knee surgery
I am looking for feedback on how this diagnosis will effect a fairly major surgery. I have a need for total knee replacement- have already had arthroscopy on my meniscus and now bone on bone with arthritis on more than 60% of the femur/tibia. It has affected my life such that I want to have this procedure

Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio May Predict Thrombotic Events in Polycythemia Vera
Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio May Predict Thrombotic Events in Polycythemia Vera Vicki Moore, PhD A new study suggests that the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in patients with polycythemia vera (PV) at the time of diagnosis may serve as a predictor of thrombotic events. The study’s findings

Paroxysmal AF getting worse
I was diagnosed with PAF last spring and put on bisoprolol plus a blood thinner. The dosage of bisoprolol has since crept up to the maximum 10mg per day as the PAF has become more frequent and longer lasting. I have been struggling to get my GP to get me an appt with cardiology for a meds review and/

Change to Edoxaban
Yesterday, I had a phone call out of the blue from a person claiming to be a pharmacist working from my GP's surgery saying that they'd carried out a review of all patients on
anticoagulants
and would like them to change to Edoxaban to "bring then into line with current prescribing guidelines".

Eye laser surgery with antocoagulants
I checked online and nowhere it says that you can't do the laser surgery on
anticoagulants
, so I am positive, fingers crossed I am right 🤞
