Stroke risk for statisticians
So my question is, if for example, you have a 2% risk of having a stroke in any one year, over 5 years does that mean you have a cumulative risk of 10% or does the risk remain at 2%. Someone kindly posted this informative video but I wasn’t sure whether what he was saying about risk was correct. I think

Blood thinners from the first diagnosis or?
Is it standard practice to put you on thinners from the start or only if you develop permanent afib? Because I didn't get blood thinners. Just bisoprolol and propafenone. Mind you, my episodes are pretty short. Never more than 45min, and vast majority under few minutes. 40 days since diagnosis.

Blood clotting and loss - low prothrombin time
Hi guys, Does anyone know much about Prothrombin Time? Mine just came back at 12.5 seconds - my hospital says the range is 12.8-17seconds so I think my blood clots a bit quicker than normal? Does anyone know what the treatment is for that? Sorry I’m not speaking to my doctor until 9th Jan and obvs

Emphysema
Hi I'm really confused. 2011 told I had COPD during a telephone call from from a GP receptionist. Had spirometer test then told I didn't have COPD. A similar thing happened the following year. Put it out of my head and got on with life. During the 1st lock down I had a telephone consultation with

Palpitations
Hi, I am having mild palpitation very frequently, 2-3 times each day for about 30 minutes to an hour. I am worried about them but I have been informed as there are no other symptoms, I will not be offered treatment. I was diagnosed with Atrial fibrillation in Nov 2023 at hospital A&E, I have attended

Vitamins and Supplements
I am in the throws of reading Chris van Tulleken's book Ultra-Processed People. It has been an eye opener. Not that one hasn't been aware of the harms of processed food but perhaps one has been unaware at how extensive it is and also how seemingly malicious for corporate gain? What does come out is

To start blood thinners or not?
For the last three years I’ve suffered paroxysmal AFIB about once every month or two on average. I believe it to be vagally related as it typically occurs in the early hours of the morning and normally I can trace the trigger back to large meals and indigestion or alcohol consumption. Normally my heart

AF medication
I have had palpitations intermittently for a long time then realised I had AF. As it is Paroxysmal I captured it on a Scan watch and shared the ecg with my GP who confirmed the diagnosis. The GP performed blood tests to look at underlying causes and all normal. The GP has referred me for 24 hour tape

Do I need Beta blocker
I have had 2 TIA’s and I am on blood thinners. I am told I have an irregular heart beat and they want me to take a beta blocker to lower my blood pressure but my blood pressure is only 123 over 77 with heart beat of 74. Worried

Egg retrieval day today
Just an update. Had my egg retrieval , worst outcome I’ve ever had unfortunately. Had 4, possibly 5 follicle but 3 were empty. So only 2 collected but the follicles were quite bit, therefor I’m worried too mature. Embryologist advised ISCI and if they survive , would be a 2 day transfer. I feel

PAF LIVING WITH IT
I also get fluttering in my chest and feel it in my throat and a pressure in my head when my heart is either racing or beating irregular. I’m 66yrs and had it over 10yrs. Initially I’d only get symptoms a couple times a year and then it went to weekly lasting 12hrs or more at times. Every time I wore

Asthma, pneumonia A&E and admission
Well it's day 3 of my treatment for pneumonia with oxygen, rescue steriods antibiotics and neubs (if necessary). I took myself to A&E on Thursday night as I thought my asthma was flaring and not responding to my salamol. Turns out not asthma but low oxygen levels and pneumonia. The nhs were at there

I've had persistent AFib for decades. Cardiologist and EP suggested ablation, watchman, every pill and treatment out there but I never felt they were the right thing to do, other than taking many meds, Altace, Toprol XL, Amiodarone, etc. Most recently I had to go onto Xarelto, 'tho I resisted it for

Any suggestions to sitting in hospital for hours waiting for INR test
I'm 26 and on warfarin for a mechanical aortic valve inserted in April 23. I need to be tested very regularly, normally every 2 weeks atleast. It must be a blood test as the pin prick tests proved unreliable in my case. I spend hours and hours waiting at St Barts for a blood test which is where I am

G'day, Just after some input from NOAC and Warfarin users. I use Warfarin and have done so for nearly 14 years. No sweat ! Never had bleed problems but have had an assortment of bruising problems in that time usually from DIY mishaps. All sorts of pretty colours of blues, greens, yellows and purples
