Woke up in Afib
I thought the cardio version last episode would have been the end to this. But nope , like clockwork I was due. I have been journaling and keep track of how I feel. I usually see a dip in HR a few days to a week before ba episode. I seem to have them every 6/8 weeks with one exception in last year of

Symptoms….I’m confused
Hi, grateful if people can throw some light please? My bloods (previously posted here) point to hypo BUT I don’t have the slow pulse and if anything it races in the mornings before I get out of bed. Also races when I do very little though think that’s because I’m so exhausted! I have a list of symptoms

what to do??
I am really struggling, I am wondering if I have hashimotos. Diagnosed with an underactive thyroid in march ( the day my dad died) just 6 months after losing my mother in law. Had gone to the drs thinking my HRT needed tweaking for my perimenopause symptoms. (Hair loss, brittle nails, weight gain, sweating

Slow heart rate
I have been diagnosed with bradycardia. One electrophysiologist wants me to have a pacemaker and another (for a second opinion) says I don't need one. I function very well during the day, have a good night's sleep and am not fatigued. The slow heart rate started when a holter monitor was put on

‘Antibodies sometimes present and others not therefore no treatment’
I wanted to ask a question regarding tests for antibodies, including outside the standard PA ones, for example thyroid, hughes, vasculitis, lupus…… Apparently, according to my GP, my various autoimmune antibodies are positive and sometimes not over these past few years.(I certainly struggle with various

Hi Taar
A couple of years ago when I was particularly unwell, my 1st paracentesis was scary, a bit unknown. The pain reducing injection was was a sharp sting, but nothing worse. Insertion of the the drain tube felt "uncomfortable" but nothing worse. During the drain over several hours they also replenished

Fissure or fistula
For the last few weeks I have been getting stabbing pains up the rear exit. Like I sat on a needle!! I used to suffer a lot with piles but not bled for about a year now. But today after large bm I bled! What concerns me is I should be having a camera look at my bladder on Saturday under local anaesthetic

Glasgow EP?
Sadly, my lovely English EP, Dr Peter Stafford, has retired. My paroxysmal arrhythmias look as if they may be returning after a big, sucessful, ablation three years ago- this time in the form of episodes of a very slow heart rate. As I now live in Scotland and was discharged from Glenfield after

Noo shoos!
Having looked into these shoes that Frizzbomb67 asked about, I decided to order the support version, Brookes Launch GTS. They arrived quickly, and included a free pair of running socks! When I first tried them on I thought they were awful, really stiff and solid, like putting a cardboard box on my feet

Premature cardiac risk
“20” percent of humans have elevated lipoprotein (a), putting them at risk for heart attack, stroke, and aortic stenosis. Unfortunately, only 3/10 of a percent (.3 percent ) of U.S. primary care physicians ever test their patients, unlike physicians in the EU and Canada. The link below will offer more

Question for anyone taking Nubequa. How long did it take to get PSA nondectable… or did it ever reach that low point? My husband began with it & Lupron in January. PSA was 14 and 6 months later only down to 4.3 He does not have a prostate … Journey began in 2017. All clear at time of surgery. Biochemical
