AF and ectopic beats
Could someone tell me does Ectopic beats come under AF , only I’ve suffered for years Ectopics , but I’ve read that lots of people are on blood thinners to prevent blood clots (stroke) , I never been offered them over 30 years of suffering with the extras beats, I have asked one consultant if I should

Bisoprolol Fast AF
I have just been diagnosed with fast AF again (my third time). Before I had cardio version treatment both times and this worked. Now it has come back again, the consultant is now looking to give me a cardio ablation. I was on 5mg of Bisoprolol and this has been increased to 7.5mg. Also been prescribed

Just when I thought....
Just over a year into my uncomfortable journey with Mr GCA. I have managed to throw most of his luggage out of the window and am now down to 4mg of Pred from 60mg. But we had a serious crash two weeks ago today - I had a stroke. Luckily I got to hospital within an hour and got the clot buster injection

I've been AF free for just over 2 months now and had gotten used to feeling well. I had a procedure lined up during this week for a camera examination of my lower bowel after suffering an anal fissure in August. On the day of the test I was asked to stop my anticoagulant and first thing in the morning

Blood thinner and infection
Hi there, Has anyone found being on blood thinners makes having viruses and bacterial infections worse? I usually cope well enough with my lupus colds, flus and stomach upsets. But 6 months ago I was put on thinners for a clot and am not coping so well with my current cold/flu. Would appreciate your

Confused
Hi. My doctor has ordered lupus anticoagulant and antiphospholipid antibody blood tests. I have been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. When I asked why I was being tested she said it was to rule out APS. I am really confused as to why she thinks I could have this syndrome. I am in my early 20s, never

Flu jab and blood thinners
My son (35) has just had his flu jab and was asked if he was taking blood thinners - not something I've ever been asked before. A quick search found that problems have occurred previously with patients taking warfarin, but I cannot find any reference to other blood thinners (I'm on clopidogrel) or if

Confused from Reading too Much about Carbimazole 5mg
Hi I'm new to all this. Before now I have never worried about what medication I have been prescribed, but then my doctor told me the side effects and I felt I needed to find out more before taking it, as it made me nervous. My TPO is 50 kU/L (0-5.6), TSH .05 miu/L (0-7), T3 5 pmol/L (1-9) and T4 12.4

Cardiology appointment
He also explained that the likelihood is that the heart was - or is now - slightly stretched and this alone increases the likelihood of impaired pumping so I should be on
anticoagulants
. I accepted his prescription of Apixaban. I have resisted
anticoagulants
up to now.

Blood thinner and ablation
Hi, I have had proximal afib for about 3 years. The attacks are becoming more frequent & longer (10-20 hours), maybe every 3 months & I want to see if an ablation will work for me. I consulted with a cardiologist for a cyroblation. He does them while you stay on your blood thinner. In my case it’s eloquis

Date for ankle surgery
So I’m booked in 22 October for my ankle surgery. My orthopedic surgeon will liaise with my EP about anticoagulation and anything else he needs to know. I’ve filled out the online forms for the hospital and anesthetist. I was interested to see in my anesthetist’s bio that as well as her experience

Given contradictory information
I've just been told by a hematologist that Warfarin does not effect the blood screen outcome. He said that Apixaban can but not Warfarin. An APS specialist advised that I should come off all anti-coagulants if I am to decided to repeat the screen. Not sure who is correct and I find people arguing both

Double Lung Transplant
My uncle got a double lung transplant September 11, 2020. He is currently in ICU. He had to have 2 emergency surgeries due to one of the lungs not working properly. He was put on an ECMO machine and ventilator. 2 days later they put him on dyalisis. I've been visiting him daily. It's so hard to see him
