Watchman or not?
I was diagnosed with Afib about 3 yrs ago. I sometimes wonder if I do have Afib because I am not aware of any symptoms. I take Losartan and Diltiazem and Xarelto . Just recently was taken off of Propranolol. My cardiologist is proposing to implant a Watchman device. I have reservations about undergoing

Pain Relief
I have posted before regarding Scleroderma and Raynauds and the problems which relate to this. I have osteoarthritis in my knees and they are so very painful. I was coping with the help of steroid injections, paracetamol and Ibuprofen however steroid injections are now limited with less relief and

anticoagulation after successful ablation
Barts AF have an interesting article today - lots of ongoing big studies but basically they do not know for certain whether the general advice of ACs die life despite successful ablation is correct. Clearly correct for some, but for all? In the article is also says that if you have no AF after a year

Eliquis and AF symptoms
Hi all, I've been following the posts on this forum and have received helpful feedback re blood thinners and AF. I was recently diagnosed with AF and was put on Eliquis, which I've not yet started because of what I heard about the side effects. I have bradycardia and experience flutters and lightheadedness

Taking Prolia with Rusolitinib (Jakafi)
I have been taking Jakafi (15 mg) twice a day for the last 3 years for my polycythemia vera. I also take blood thinners for my thrombocytosis since I have had blood clots in my lungs twice in the last 2 years. I have had osteoporosis for a while, but my T scores from bone density test are really

Was it a TIA?
Hi all, recently had a suspected TIA nearly 3 months ago. I got home one night and went to lock the door and I couldn’t get the key in the lock. I had no pain, no disorientation or confusion, no blurred vision, no pins and needles or numbness, no slurred speech, my left arm just felt a bit heavy. I immediately

Tuesday
Ralph as cheerful as ever. Said a Dr from ENT came this morning and said we have a plan and walked out, lol. Not the consultant. I asked the nurse, she said yes he said keep going with the tracheotomy and take down to the next size. No idea what consultant thinks or even if he's seen the film yet. I

Another day
He's the same as he was, but his results aren't as good as we hoped. His swallow isn't as strong as it should be and ENT and speech therapist tried him with cuff down on the tracheotomy and holding over the opening, but he could only breathe in but not out. So they're going to arrange to put a smaller

nausea
since being on
anticoagulants
alcohol does not agree with me. Red wine tastes like vinegar and also causes nausea. I miss having a small tot of whiskey as that upsets my stomach too. Has anybody else experienced this side effect?

Shingles & needing more heart surgery
My first mitral valve repair has failed sadly after 3 yrs & I need it redone, more open heart surgery..... but a month ago got Shingles. I was unable to take acyclovir as it made me incredibly dizzy & unbalanced. I am in terrible pain after 4 weeks & no sign of it improving though the rash blisters are

Apixaban
Hi there, I take Bisoprolol, Flecainide and until recently Edoxaban anticoagulant . However, spending much time in France I’ve found that Edoxaban is not accepted as a safe drug and I cannot get it in France . I changed to Apixaban which is available , and was previously recommended by my electro-cardiologist

A-Fib meds & Zepbound
I cannot seem to sustain a healthy weight for my age & body frame so I will be requesting Zepbound from my doctor to help, as I don’t want to go the surgical route in my 70s. I’m considered **morbidly obese** & truly, there is a lot of shame in this. Flecainide & Metoprolol control my A-Fib, & I
