My arrhythmia pattern is intermittent. It seems to build up over a few days then really busy for 10/14 days. Peace in between. Advice please
I’m due to see arrhythmia nurse soon after a successful cardio version in November. Before I see the consultant they’ve insisted I have a 24hr tape. But I’m having 3 things going on arrhythmia wise none of which are continuous. All these are intermittent I have busy rhythm weeks but also quiet weeks

Blood thinners
Hi all For the 2nd year running my bowel test has come back as positive , I had a colonoscopy which was negative last year. Could it be the blood thinner (rivaroxin) causing blood in poo. I am also anaemic

Tattoo
Might be one for the Doc, but I was wondering if anybody has had experience of getting a tattoo whilst on blood thinners? I want a memento to appreciate the fact I'm still here. I'm on 60mg of Edoxaban daily.

Carpbait
A big thank you for sending best wishes, support and information after I posted my concerns about going onto new drug Eliquis blood thinners, now have a 24 monitoring appointment with my local hospital, for this Friday, hoping this sheds some light onto why heart rate bounces all over the place.

Night sweats
My elective heart surgery went horribly wrong. First a stroke and then a junior doctor in the stroke unit wrongly deciding that I was allergic to blood thinners and putting me on a drip of Vitamin K. Not a good move after a mechanical valve transplant with blood clots a real possibility. After two months

Marine Collagen for Osteoarthritis
Good morning on a sunny clear frosty day. Does anyone have experience of using marine collagen while on an anticoagulant? I have osteoarthritis but had to stop helpful supplements such as fish oil and glucosamine and chondroitin when I began taking Edoxaban. Certainly the fish oil with high Omega 3 was

Dilemma with medication
I have just visited a rheumatologist who has put me back on 5mg of prednisolone, to taper 1 mg every 6 weeks. This is after my doctor tapered me too quickly from 15mg to zero within 7 months. The PMR pain is back and I was reluctant to go back on prednisolone as I have had awful side effects (the GP

Vasculitis vs arteriosclerosis, getting pregnant after a CABG and statin/diet questions!
Hi! I’m 34 and have just had a CABG, I’m 6 weeks post op and feel almost back to normal. Yes, I know, I’m young and have bounced! They think that my coronary arteries were damaged by vasculitis I (might) have had when I was 19, it wasn’t diagnosed at the time as I had just classic viral symptoms although

Sanjay Gupta and anticoagulants
If that is the case why are all women over the age of 75 with a base score of 2 on the ChadVasc index, (i.e. because of their age alone, even if they have no other risk factors and not even suffering from Afib), not on
anticoagulants

Recovery after Mitral Valve Replacement
A week since discharged from hospital after MVR. Healing well in general. 14 days since the actual operation. For example my breathing is much better and I can even sleep on my back. Although i hear the ticking sound of the mechanical valve it stopped bothering me after the first day. INR levels playing

Apixaban subconjunctival haemorrhage
After taking Apixaban for about three weeks I have a very red left eye; it looks like a subconjunctival haemorrhage is on the way. This is the third time that this has happened after taking an anticoagulant; the three weeks is the longest period I have managed without this occurring. I have read that

Migraine & Blood Thinners
Hello All, I have recently found out that my replacement aortic valve which I had fitted in 2017 is not performing well. The cardiologist I have seen says this is possibly due to a clot over the valve and has put me on Apixaban which I tolerated for one week having had four classic migraines with aura

A worrying problem
Hi everyone. I am new here but maybe you could advise me on a worrying condition. All treatment has failed but now the oncologist has told me that the 2 tumors in the breast may come through the skin and if they do i will bleed a lot as i am on blood thinners. Has this happened to any of you please?

5th BFN - what next?
Unfortunately my 5th transfer ended in a BFN again. 5 failed implantations. I threw everything at this one and don’t feel like I’ve left anything uncovered. Curious to see if anyone might have recommendations of another test / something to do differently? What I’ve done: - PGS tested embryo - ERA

Asking for a friend -
Good afternoon everyone. I wondered if anyone could recommend an EP in the Deeside/north Wales area. I am trying to help out a friend who is too shy to come on here and ask herself. Diagnosed AFIB and I believe a flutter. But been waiting 8 months to see a cardiologist, so she doesn't really know
