Has anyone suffered with an extremely fast heart rate. I have had this several times and was admitted one of them, where Bloods showed a high rate of troponin which is an enzyme showing that the heart has had some type of episode.
Nothing has been arranged to see a cardiologist and I had an attack a night ago which woke me up and I couldn't move.
I have had two strokes this year.
I am currently taking 24mg of Warfarin and I am having venous testing as capillary testing was given off a false reading. My last reading was 1.0 !
I am seeing an APS specialist at St Thomas on 15 January and I'm hoping she will be able to answer most of question
Many thanks
Yes, I do hope she will help you as it is quite unacceptable to have had two strokes this year, APS and such a low INR most of the time.
I Think you should not wait till January 15 if your INR is very low. You should have help with the INR before that date.
When you see the APS-Specialist have all questions written down. Take your time. Also if you have bloodtests done earlier take a copy with you and a short story of what has happened earlier as to other doctors and drugs. Two strokes this year!!
Please let us hear how it goes for you and Good Luck on January 15!
