A slight interruption........
Two weeks ago today, after an uneventful parkrun on the previous Saturday, I set out for my weekly 10k. It became clear after the first couple of k that this was not going to be a good run, so I decided to take it easy. However after 5k I felt really exhausted, so decided to take some walking breaks

Calamity strikes again
Well folks I had a fun day yesterday ... not! Whilst washing the kitchen floor yesterday morning I somehow fell with a kettle full of boiling water. I scalded my leg really badly, my husband called an ambulance which came after 40 minutes. I was blue lighted to our nearest A&E which is 20 miles away

Coming off flecanaide
Hi everyone, After my second ablation which only took about an hour (RF) the EP told me to stop taking flecanaide but to carry on with beta blocker and anticoagulant. I thought you were supposed to ween of flecanaide? I never got chance to speak to the EP as I was discharged before he visited the

AF and Cognitive Decline
Anticoagulants
cut stroke risk by 64%. There is a trial going on called “Brain AF” where people with not enough risk to have a stroke (low CHA2DS2-VASc) are given
anticoagulants
or a placebo and in a couple of years what they will measure is not stroke so much, but cognitive function.

Trigger finger/injection
Hi I have a trigger finger which interferes with my violin playing (as well as hurts!) I know the classic treatment is a steroid injection but I also know that they don’t give them to people on ‘blood thinners’. Does anyone know of an alternative? I wear a splint at night but just at night. Thanks.

How does PCa affect Venous Thromboembolism risk?
Even though we have increased risk, doctors do not monitor since treatment protocols call for
anticoagulants
only after a blood clot has caused a trip to the ER.

phosphatidylserine Neuroprotective? Works with DHA , reduces insomnia
DO NOT take phosphatidylserine if you are taking
anticoagulants
(blood thinners), and use caution when combining it with ginkgo for the same reason. https://www.mountsinai.org/health-library/condition/dementia Our studies have indicated that DHA supplementation promotes phosphatidylserine (PS) accumulation

Advice please
I’ve started the
anticoagulants
and have in the past taken aloe Vera juice for my gerd which I’ve had a long time and also think is related to my episode of AF three weeks ago( my oesophagus spasmed).

Shortness of breath dyspnea after ablation
Hey, I had my ablation more than three weeks ago. I more or less have similar post ablation issues, with an exception. I have shortness of breath (dyspnea) and some tight throat more than what should be expected, almost a month after the ablation now, it is even more than pre-ablation. It gets worse

Post Ablation Dyspnea (Shortness of Breath) and Skipping Beats
Hey All! My quick resume follows; Diagnosed in June 2020 with Afib. Had some but relatively mild symptoms. I was on metoprolol and propafenon for over a year. At one follow up visit, a doctor decided to cut the medication and I was medication free for a year. Then during another 6-month follow up

Edoxaban
Hi, I had af for around 30 years before a very successful ablation after fleconaide stopped working. My cardiologist put me on Edoxaban after the ablation but I had not been on a blood thinner until I was cured of af, he explained it was down to my age. I am a very active commercial fisherman and I

Swollen Leg Solved
Hi - I posted a query about swollen legs last week to see whether this symptom was part of our PMR ‘journey’. Things have moved on dramatically since then so I am sharing with you so that you get medical advice asap if you have symptoms such as mine. First of all the contact and advice I experienced

MY AF
Good Evening everyone, well had ECG done, all done by blue tooth. Pulse went up to 112 this morning. Then went down through the morning. ECG showed that it had levelled out. Saw Doctor, had a real good chat. I’m still in AF. I have a very irratic heartbeat but wasn’t too worried. He said my blood

Is your Afib regular and in between you are ok?
Does anybody have Afib regularly, say every 14 days but between that time you are ok. My Afib is not a fast heartbeat type. I am just irregular. It’s lasts about 3 days. After a night I can exercise and my heart rate may go occasionally up to 160, it goes back down when I stop. This is the only way I

Pain and stiffness - menopause or something else?
Hi. I was put on pred, mycophenolate and alendronic acid for 2 years in 2008 after several strokes and many tests which concluded in a diagnosis of primary (cerebral) vasculitis. I recovered exceptionally well and still take blood thinners now. In 2020 I developed numerous menopause symptoms including
