What to try next?
My 69 year old HwP has had tremor dominant PD for the past 7 years - taking only Azilect (that he started a year ago). The tremor is much worse, embarrassing him at work, so he needs more therapy. Shooting pain in one foot (and numbness in both) is another recent problem. The neurologist prescribed

Health update
Hello everyone, not sure if this helps... I went through genetic testing and they found my KMT2B gene activated. This is odd due to my age and how aggresive it is. My Dr has never seen this happen before. In actuality, there is nothing in written human history (as far as I know) that shows late stage

Trihexyphenidyl medication for PD
Hello, my husband with tremor dominant PD has been prescribed Trihexyphenidly (aka Artane, Trihexane and Tritane) by his neurologists to try and reduce his tremors. He is currently on Madopar and its not really helping. Does anyone have any experience with this drug? Many thanks.

now I’m familiar with chest pain and when I do get it I am scared but this morning it was really sore then an hour later i feel asleep for 3 hours I’ve just woke up and feel so incredibly anxious and worrying about that chest pain as it was extremely painful. I still have it just now even when resting

Artane
I was on Artane [Trihexyphenidyl ] for stiffness and within 2 weeks of taking it I had severe hallucinations , I thought the doctor would of decreased my dosage , but she increased it. I really wish I did not do that. It was a mistake and it took some time to get over it.

Onto apixaban!
I'm awaiting ablation for PAF. Cardiologist has recommended that I should start on a low dose of an ACE inhibitor for raised blood pressure, so that has added a point onto my CHA2DS2-VASc score! Due to strong family history of heart disease, he thinks that my actual risk is more like a CHA2DS2-VASc

set pattern to PAF
I have had PAF for about 9 years. Symptoms tolerable but the attacks last about 12 hours. No diagnosed cause and cannot take medication owing to low heart rate just on apaxiban. Heart deemed to be too healthy to have an ablation & run even the low risk. I get an attack every 3 weeks, used to be less

"Probable Myocardial infarction of indeterminate age".
I've had afib for about a year and a half and it's reasonably well controlled, it seems, by bisoprolol and aPixaban. Consultant advised to leave it alone and will probably need a pacemaker in the future. He did an ECG on me yesterday and the words at the top of the print out were what I have shown at

My dad died, now I'm back to square one
My dad died a week ago from a heart attack. Since then I became very anxious, afraid to go to the toilet at night, afraid me too will suffer a heart attack. I know my physical symptoms are due to anxiety, but my anxiety makes me doubt this. My husband and I are going overseas in March and leaving our

are you sticking with riveroxaban or asking to change to Apixaban in light of recent research?
after heart attack, cardiac arrest leaving me in continuous AFib for 3 months requiring a cardio version ( heart attack caused by blood clot cholesterol normal) I’ve been on all the heart medications including riveroxaban with no real problems from the medications. I now have reduced ejection fraction

Afib and cholesterol
Have any of you been put on statins just because you have Afib ? As you all know I had my ablation last November and recently had my bloods done and my cholesterol was 5.7 so I was told by the doctors receptionist that I have two choices I either book an appointment to see the nurse about it or I can

Almost 1 year after heart attack and this happened........
Hi, so last February I had a minor heart attack and had a stent fitted. It was a shock as I was only 45. I've had the odd twinge every now and then but generally things are ok. Last week I was driving in my car when I felt a sudden bout of chest pain - it was quite specifically in one area and

Statins to be extended to 15m extra people
I've just read this article ( https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/jan/12/new-statins-guidelines-nice-nhs-england ) Paul Chrisp, the director of the centre for guidelines at Nice, said: “What we’re saying is that, for people with a less than 10% risk over 10 years of a first heart attack or stroke

Post cryoablation
I had my ablation on Friday 16th Dec 2022.Everything went fine but I was on the operating table for about 5 hours. I have a narrowing in my oesophagus so access was difficult. Anyway I had bad chest pains on the Monday night so went to A&E where I had blood tests which found I had a rising Cardiac Troponin

AF and now coronary artery disease at 47. I recently had a CT angiogram and the results aren’t great. Back to being scared and worried.
So I first came on this forum with my Afib diagnosis and was terrified and depressed about the diagnosis and medications. I had good news from my echocardiogram as I had no damage at all. The last hurdle was a CT angiogram sadly I’ve not made it so well past this hurdle. I’m absolutely gutted to be honest

A Tip!
if you have AF ( with a family history of heart disease as I have) and start getting angina-type symptoms, don’t waste time trying to convince yourself that’s it costocondritis as I did. . Get yourself checked out with an angiogram as soon as possible. In my area it has one of the shortest waiting lists
