Can't seem to stop constant underarm odor
Hello, My wife has had PD for around four years. This strong underarm odor always returns in 1-2 days after a good cleaning. The anti-perspirant deodorants make no difference at all, because she very seldom, if ever, perspires/sweats. I've started using my Brut deodorant on her but that was no help either

Has anyone had a Steroid injection whilst on anticoagulants for AF?
I have had AF for many years and currently taking Rivaroxaban, Nebivolol, Felodipine and Ranitidine. I have been suffering from Plantar Fascitis for several months and just can’t shake it off. It has now been suggested that I have an ultrasound guided steroid injection into my foot. Obviously, this can

Newly diagnosed with aortic aneurysm and bicuspid aortic valve
I've always had a certain amount of shortness of breath; I was never good at cross-country or sports at school and I remember being given a Ventolin inhaler on the off-chance that I had mild asthma. I also remember that it made no difference. I've been fairly active in my adult life, doing a fair bit

Prior to starting medication to reduce my blood pressure now taking 10mg of Amlodipine my Tinnitus has appeared to increased somewhat significantly. Has this happened to any of the forum members? Would love to hear your news. Kind regards to all.

What’s the best medications for Vagal afib?
I have Vagal AF. It has not been diagnosed by my cardiologist, he just says I have a fib, but I should eat slower. But it only happens mostly after I eat a big meal. I told him that I have never had afib until I was put on sotalol for high blood pressure. He seems to think that sotalol is the best medication
