Synacthen Test Result
Hi allJust recently got result from endo. Obviously it rules out Addisons which is good and I responded to the inj. The second blood draw was actually done 40 mins post administration but I'm assuming that wouldn't have affected the overall result too much. However I know my baseline blood cortisol is

The arrhythmia nurse wants me to reduce my bisoprolol dose after my cardioversion - fear of early relapse.
I had a 2nd successful cardioversion 5 days ago, and the arrhythmia nurse told me to reduce my dose of bisoprolol immediately from 7.5mg to 5mg as my heart rate was around 50bpm. However, unless I maintain NSR for 6 weeks after the cardioversion, they won't offer another one, so I'm reluctant to reduce

Fibroscan Results
Howdy, I've recently had a scan after increased liver enzymes and an ultrasound nine months ago which showed a fatty liver as a result. Naturally, it motivated weight loss with a cleaner diet which meant a BMI change from 31.2 to 27.1 - so quite some change ! The fibroscan results noted 4.7 KPA and

Do low PSA-producing cells still rely on testosterone to grow?
Am curious to know what the folks here know about this question. If higher PSA cells are driven to near extinction by ADT, and if only low-PSA producing cells survive, are the latter still dependent on testosterone for survival? If not, what do they depend on to grow?

What dosage are Carvedilol users on?
Afternoon, I've switched off bisoprolol onto Carvedilol and am still getting some episodes of Afib/ flutter with a high heart rate during exercise. I started on 3.25mg Carvedilol twice daily, now on 6.5mg twice daily, the next logical step is to jump to 12.5 mg twice daily. Just trying to see what

I have AF but it’s controlled so far with daily flecainide and bisoprolol. I get a three monthly blood test for iron overload but this week the doctor advised me to get a cholesterol blood test as well. All of my results for cholesterol were within the ranges but my doc advised that it’s recommended

Cardioversion with amiodarone or straight to ablation?
CV 24/2 failed after 1 week. Heart function team suggest course of amiodarone combined with further CV after a few months of this medication. They have left it with me to consider what I would prefer to do. Either proceed with the above ( with a list of potential side effects which are impossible

What I had failed to grasp about caffeine all these years...
I am a coffee lover all the way through my life to the extent that we now have a nespresso these days with all the various blends to keep variety up. All the research I read talked about the anti-oxidant properties of coffee and the benefits to a more positive digestion etc etc. Even I used to think

Commenced Bisoprolol
Hi I suffer from Paroxysmal AF. I have been taking Rivaroxaban for 2 months. I saw the cardiologist and he has started me on 2.5mg Bisoprolol daily. I took my first dose at 10am and by 2.30pm my Heart Rate had dropped to 50 bpm. My question is to others who take Bisoprolol for rhythm control and who
