Successful ablations and no medications eventually?
Hi All, I’m hoping to get put on an (NHS) ablation list of the EP I am seeing in a couple of weeks, if he thinks I am eligible. I am paroxysmal AF and my last episode was November when I came off bisoprolol, which I’d been taking daily since diagnosis. I went back on bisoprolol, which is all I take

Lisinopril and Lipitor
I have high blood pressure and Afib. I had an MRI on my brain and the doctor found I have had a couple of strokes. Thankfully they made my left side numb, but nothing more. I take 20mg of lisinopril a day and 80mg of Lipitor. I am continually nauseated, and my leg muscles are weak. I feel off balance

cryoablation
I recently posted about sore joints. I did some digging on the Eliquis I'm tacking. Ever since I started taking it my joints are getting sore. I think this is my problem. The side effects of strong blood thinners can have this effect. My Dr doesn't want me to stop because I still have heart flips after

My Cataract Surgery (Laser) is in 2 weeks
Just wondering from those who have had cataract surgery and taking aspirin and blood thinners, were you told to stop these prior to surgery. Your input would be appreciated. Thanks so much!!

Resting HR increase after ablation, but why?
So I had AF 2019-21, ablation 6 months ago, AF gone (touch wood) RHR was 60 now 70. I know this is expected but what causes it? I’ve been on Edoxaban blood thinners, rhythm control Flecainide and calcium channel blocker Verapamil since ablation - I was on none of these before ablation. My understanding

Has anybody with low TSH and not converting a T4 actually increased their T4?
According to Patient Access my TSH has been exceedingly low for 20 years apart from a little blip when it came into range about 2003/4. My doctor used to do full bloods and because T3 and T4 were okay he wasn’t worried but other docs who only do TSH (in fact testing centres only do TSH, insisted I

Shivering 4 days post ablation
Well it’s day 4, don’t know if this is normal, I can’t stop feeling cold and shivery, I feel cold anyway because of blood thinners but my body is sensitive and I feel so cold. Had a slight irregular HB this morning so trying hard not to be disappointed yet. Does colchicine make you cold by any chance

Emergency spinal surgery 3 days from starting the car t trial at Dana Farber.

The pain started three weeks previously but would come and go so he was taking OxyContin to get get a bit of relief. Unfortunately, over a period of two days his walking started to get bizzare

Levo and anticoagulants
I have Hashimoto disease which I have had since 18 years of age. I do not take any medication for it as my thyroid function test is normal. However I am due to have thyroidectomy soon and wondered whether the medication I am prescribed for the replacement of thyroid will upset my anticoagulant medication

What a week!
Where do i start? Went up to hospital for angioplasty stent to ensure heart was pumping like a racehorses for eventual double lung transplant. Bosh… STROKE on the trolly and before i know it left arm and leg weakened but more worrying is LEFT HEMIANOPIA , a 50% loss of vision. Eyes surgeon and neurologist

Taking an anticoagulant (Apixaban) for the first time.
Are there any alternatives to
anticoagulants
(I'm guessing the answer is no?

Can any heart meds cause sneezing bouts/rhinitis. Can you use steroid nose spray &/or any any histamines on heart meds?
Have been on bisoprolol, ACE inhibitor, blood thinner, anti platelets, diruretic for 5/6 months post STEMI followed by constant AFib with successful cardio version 2/3 months ago. Now only short infrequent fleeting AFib. Last 3 weeks episodes of sneezing and blocked nose. Not like a cold and I’ve not
