Still looking for a diagnosis.
I've been on Metoprolol(50mg) for about 4 years. Also, Losartan 100 (mg), and atorvastatin (15mg). My diagnosis is either AFIB or Atrial clutter. Additionally, I take 15mg of Xarelto daily (blood thinner). My blood pressure is under control. My Doc wants me to consider ablation after I have a

anticoagulants
Is there anyone on
anticoagulants

do you think I could be long covid
just a thought, I’ve have a lot of time in my sick bed with a chest infection and just wanted to put something out there If you don’t all mind. In April last year I contracted Covid, I wasn’t to bad with it and thought I recovered quite well, but I have had a lot of thinking time. So here goes a long

Mechanical Heart Valve, warfarin and Pregnancy
Hi all, First post here! I’ve recently found out I’m pregnant - Great news! However I have a mechanical tricuspid heart valve and on life long anticoagulant warfarin, and have been advised of the major risks going forward with the pregnancy - Not so great news! I just wanted to reach out to see if

Stroke Prevention Day
The Stroke Association are highlighting the link between AF and the possibility of a stroke. I can echo that, as I was cardio fit with none of the other risks from weight, smoking, drinking, but I had AF and I was not prescribed an anticoagulant. On 6 July 2016 I had a stroke. The following words

So Confussed
Hi I'm a complete newbie. After over 2 years of palpitations and only an ECG detecting an irregular heartbeat during the height of covid, having never seen a GP, or having a blood test or being placed on blood thinners, then being told that 1.25 Bisoprolol was all I needed during a phone appointment

Should I take aspirin 300 mgs at home if I think I may be having a stroke despite being on an anticoagulant for atrial fibrillation?
The chances of getting an NHS CT head scan quickly enough to decide whether it’s safe to give clot busting drugs aren’t so good at the moment. I think a cerebral embolus may still be more likely than a cerebral haemorrhage, so aspirin seems logical. Maybe I’ll ask my GP ….. I should say I’m not having

Manage the Anxiety; Get Living
I think the real lesson here is to manage anxiety and get on living (provided stroke risk is minimized with
anticoagulants
). Here’s the big question: Why don’t the medics prescribe anxiolytics more often to help manage afib symptoms?

Pacemaker
I had a pace and ablate July 2021 which has gone well as back to my normal activity prior to being diagnosed with AF. However, the last six weeks has seen my arm and left hand swell with veins becoming pronounced by the pacemaker. Following tests, CT scan and Ultra scan, the first view was an ' apparent

advice for coming off meds, before endoscopy procedure.
Firstly HNY everyone! I had HA & 5 stents fitted 7 months ago. I now have an appointment to have a endoscopy procedure this week& have been told to come off the two blood thinners I’m on. Plavex & asprin, for one week, which I’m afraid to do. I’ve tried getting in touch with the gastroenterologist

Atrial Fibrillation.
Hi I have had atrial flutter followed by a atrial fibrillation for approx 4 years. Medication I have tried has not been helpful and I take only an anticoagulant every day. I have bouts of af, of which I am fully aware, approx 3-4 times a week, when the heart jumps between 37 and 167 for 2 to 4/5 hours

bloodthinners
I’ve been on blood thinners for6 months after having a Pulmonary Embolism post surgery. I have completed my Chemo. 3 weeks ago and I have been told I can stop taking blood thinners as my risk is no greater than the normal person. Has anybody else been through a similar experience. I feel a bit anxious
