Does the Qrisk stop doctors bothering to really talk to patients, or even really looking at them?
They get the nurse to take the blood and it gets sent off to the lab. They then tick the boxes on the Qrisk algorhythm and call you in [in my husband's case] 'To discuss a statin' if the risk rises over 10%. He had said he wouldn't take one but I did suggest he listened to what the dr said so went along

what differentiates ectopic beats from other irregular heartbeats
I am 58 and have taken beta blockers since i was 21 for occasional episodes of irregular heartbeats- these always went back into sinus within 48 hours themselves and never had to be hospitalised or had time off work with it - more of a nuisance and restriction on lifestyle etc. Had an ablation for SVT

Nifedipine and AF, any link?
Hi all, I doubt anyone would know but anyone have any idea if there is any link to AF and a drug called Nifedipine? I was administered a very intensive course of this drug to stop premature labour in Jan weeks before my issues with SVT and AF. None of my consultants or doc's have linked the two. Nifedipine

Hello, can I please join you all.
Hi all, Thought I would introduce myself. My name is Maria. I was diagnosed with AF in Feb after two episodes in a month of SVT while pregnant with little darling no3. The worst episode saw my HR at 190-200 and me needing adonise (spelling)to bring it to order. I have just decided to go ahead and have

Migraine hell and Botox
I had Botox for migraine a week ago, 30 injections. I'm surprised no-one on here has said how painful it was as I found it really hurt when the Botox was injected, like a hornet sting. Obviously it will be worth it if it works but I'm not looking forward to the next lot. Like everyone else I have tried

Post-op and a bit scared...
Hi everyone, This past Wednesday I had an ablation done to correct my paroxysmal a-fib. As soon as I woke up I found myself in normal sinus rhythm, but my resting heart rate was a good 30-40 bpm above normal. My EP told me this was expected and that my heart rate would drop as the heart tissue healed

cyclophosphamide?
Hi everyone, My renal consultant and rheumatologist have been monitoring me for quite a while now but are concerned that my condition is still not controlled. I have SLE, lupus nephritis, raynauds phenomenon and a mixed connective tissue disorder, but it is obviously the lupus nephritis they are focusing

Weight gain and Lipomas, are they linked to anti TNF treatment?
Has anyone else, that is on a anti TNF had a large weight gain. I have also developed Lipomas over the last year, in both armpits, each side of the groin, on my left bicep and just above my right knee. So if like me, I have lipomas bulging from every part of my torso, are there any internally that could

Cluster headaches? I'm not so sure
I've had migraine for years. I'm currently battling with chronic sinusitis (which started following a mild cold last summer) and haven't got better having tried home remedies and medication prescribed by GP. I saw GP again yesterday and mentioned that last week when I had a migraine my eye went watery

atenolol & rizatriptan
Was prescribed atenolol just over 2 weeks ago in an attempt to prevent migraines. Had 2 fantastic weeks but then got an attack. However, it didn't seem to last as long and the after-effects disappeared really quickly so I'd like to keep taking it just to see if it has a similar effect again. (I can't
