Reined in by rehab - what's going on?
Quick background - I had a large atrial septal defect diagnosed in December and have been referred for surgical closure,which should be in the next few months. I have had no symptoms from the ASD - been cycling, running and bootcamping, then skiing in January. Obviously my heart isn't 'normal' but

recent Covid infection and sle activity
hello everyone! So I’ve had sle since I was 13- it was rough then but then it was mild all along. I tested positive for Covid about 3 days ago - annoying sore throat, congestion and body aches, now feeling better but I’m starting to feel like my joints, specially my elbow and knees are aching. I’m

Bruising?
I have been taking Eliquis for more than 8 years for my AFib. Because the drug is a "blood thinner" I have been prone to moderate bruising, especially in the arms, whenever I work in the yard or accidently knock into something. Six months ago my MO switched me from Nubequa to Zytiga plus prednisone.

Dr appt updates
Saw my pulmonologist on Tues. “Why haven’t you been using your Cpap?” Me: “Sometimes I feel claustrophobic and it’s hard to breathe. I also have had shortness of breath since I had Covid last June after coming home from our trip.” This led her to have me do a 6 minute walking test - my oxygen didn’t

cannabis oil
hello I’m probably a bit thick but I know nothing about cannabis oil or gummies !! Never heard of them! Are they legal in the Uk? Are thus using good? I use pregabalin and codeine can cannabis be used in conjunction with these drugs are they any benefits? Would they react with blood thinner? Ie Apixaban

Stopping bleeding
Evening all. (In my best Dixon of Dock Green voice)I cut myself while shaving today. As in pre-afib days I stuck a piece of tissue on it, but it took about an hour to stop bleeding. It was just a nick so there wasn't really much blood, but I was surprised that it didn't stop sooner. I'm on Eliquis 5mg

Pains
Hi, I was diagnosed with PA a year ago. I've got a vibrating in my feet like a mobile phone on vibrate, is this normal. Also just received my b12 injection and I've been in agony with my legs especially and my other joints. When I wake in the morning my hands are numb. Has anyone else suffered this.

Vitamin results at last
Hi all, I posted my thyroid blood tests back in January, but have been trying to get my vitamins tested via the surgery with no success, so I've just forked out for a Blue Horizon test and the results and ranges are as you can see above with the 'normal' protocols of no Levo for 24 hours, no biotin for

B12 tablets better than injection!
Hi, after taking Hydroxocobalaminacetat 1000ug I.M. for over a year once every 12 days I decided to switch to tablets. Having been put on an anticoagulant for Afib I was suffering from pain and bruising at the injection sites. I started taking 1000ug Methylcobalamin standard tablets each day and within

Colitis and blood thinners don't mix
I had a heart attack in September and was put on ticagrelor and after a month started to have problems with my bowel and went into a colitis flair which thankfully going up the steroid ladder brought me back to normal. Sadly I started to have problems again and when I saw my Cardiologist for the first

Post Ablation AFib episodes .. frustrating
I had my Ablation about 3 1/2 months ago. I did not have any AFib recurrence that I'm aware of during the blanking period and was taking a beta blocker, a rhythm med, and anticoagulant. Was a bit rougher blanking than expected with early fever, regular headaches and low energy etc but no AFib! Hooray

Asymptomatic
Hi, Just out of curiosity ........... at the time of or around the time of diagnosis of any one of a myriad types of AF has anyone been described as " asymptomatic". Further, what ranking of medic used this term, i.e. EP, Cardiac Consultant or a bog standard Dr. Further again, are you aware if this

Thy3 diagnosis
My thyroid function has improved since the stroke with Tsh going up from 0.02 (during the anticoagulant treatment with Apixaban and various injections and formulation taken because of severe side effects of these
anticoagulants
) to 0.67 after changing to Gingko Biloba as a natural blood thinner.

Taking part in Watchman trial to establish if it’s safe to come off anti-coagulants like Apixaban
I volunteered to do this as part of a world wide trial covering 3000 patients to assess the reduction in stroke risk from this procedure compared to taking modern
anticoagulants
like Apixaban over the long term. 1500 will have Watchman 1500 will be in the control group and continue with
anticoagulants
