Help with symptoms in my 30s
Hi, so this is my first post so please bare with me, I was born with coarctation of aorta, multiples holes and ventricular septal defect. I had 2 open heart surgeries to repair the holes and coarctation of aorta by the time I was 3 months old. I have since been seen yearly by a cardiologist for Echocardiograms

opinions welcome
Seven years ago, I had a quintuple bypass and a heart valve reconstruction. I am on atorvastatin atenolol lisinopril tamsulosin finasteride. My lab work of these years has been kept in the green for the most part. I’ve been hearing a lot lately about how statins have side effects, and how cholesterol

Thoughts on Atenolol
I'm 50 yo male, had my thyroid removed in 2017 and also at the same time had my first episode of af which lasted 3 days. At the time my GP prescribed atenolol to help. I found it very effective at slowing my heart rate and settled on having 25mg a day but it was never able to end an af episode, only

Hand muscle loss and pain
Have GCAPMR and paroxysmal AFib. Down to 5.5mg pred and taking Atenolol beta blocker. 7 weeks ago I had what felt like signs of Carpal tunnel syndrome and Rheum nurse support team suggested on phone that's what it probably was, suggested upping the pred. I upped it to 8 for 4 days then came back to 5.5

AV node ablation with pacemaker implant
I'm an 85 woman with permanent AF since 2018. It started in 2011 and was ill-treated for many years. Now my new EP suggested having an AV node ablation as a last resort. However, he advised me that it is with some risks, the procedure, and also with a pacemaker implanted. I'm on Atenolol, 12 mg once

Reducing Nifedipine dose for the warmer months?
I am on 20mg x 2 daily Nifedipine for secondary Raynauds, I started in the Autumn last year. I know I need to consult my Rheumatologist about this but wondered if others do the same ? Now the weather is warming up, I'm finding it's very easy to go into overheat mode, in that my hands start to swell

Effects of Lercanidipine
I have been taking Atenolol and Losartan for many years to control my high blood pressure but it seems that recently my BP is high again so about 3 months ago Lercanidipine was been added to the other two tablets. At first I felt a bit woozy and tired but that has worn off. However, in the last few

Raynauds and Nifedipine
This last winter I suffered terribly with the cold. All my life I have suffered with Raynauds Syndrome and winters have always been difficult for me with regards to my extremities (fingers, toes and nose) being cold and often painful. Even in summer having warm feet and toes has been a rare occurence

Heartburn-question for the forum
I have fairly well controlled PAF, current meds are propafenone, atenolol and Eliquis. I suffer from occasional heartburn (more than occasional if I do something stupid like have fried onion rings with dinner).

Can saline nasal spray trigger AF!
This might seem a bit out there, but since having a statin added to my prescription (includes atenolol and Rivaroxaban as well as diabetic and BP stuff) I've had ongoing catarrh and congestion. Self medicating, of course, I thought I would try a simple saline nasal spray to see if it helped, couldn't
