AFIB (has (possibly) Saved my life!
This is my first contributory post & is quite long but hopefully will be useful to a few of you! Yes - unbelievably AFIB ihas been a potential life saver as it uncovered a potentially life-threatening condition, this being a Dilated Aortic Root (which can develop into a thoracic aneurysm ) This was

Chest pain
Looking for some advice. I’ve had a pacemaker for a year. When I get too hot I get chest pains, is this normal?. I take Nifedipine for raynaulds, could this be causing the problem. Thank you

Raynaud's Dr.'s Appt. Outcome Am I Expecting Too Much
I actually had an appointment with just the rheumatologist. First time with no residents. Now I see like Kay said, the residents are important. The doctor did no examination . He did ask about the prescriptions he gives me and although my file was in front of him, he seemed not that versed in what they

Does Nifedipine make ankles swell up?
Hello from New Zealand. I have been corresponding with a lady who has just been diagnosed by her GP with possible Scleroderma. The lady had been to a podiatrist with a sore toes, the podiatrist passed a message onto her GP to investigate if the lady had Scleroderma. Wow what a fab podiatrist. The

Confused about osteoporosis treatment
Hi all, in 2019 whilst lifting my suitcase at the airport I had a horrendous pain in my lower back. Fast forward a few months finally got a x-ray which showed a compression fracture of L2. Finally got a dexa scan in April 2021 and confirmed osteoporosis of the spine with a T score of -3.9. My doctor

Nifedipine side effects
My daughter is taking nifedipine and is struggling with the side effects. It’s early days as it’s only about a week but she is fatigued, has headaches and neck pain and I’m wondering if this is common and when these may subside. Her appetite has dropped as well. Any advice would be very welcome.

Post Catheter Ablation
I'm 72, fit, considered generally healthy, although I had an ablation 7 days ago. It went 'smoothly' according to the electrophysiologist. This treatment came as a choice after 2 years of Paroxysmal AF episodes. My symptoms were very pronounced. The 'pill in the pocket' didn't really help me. However

Questioning everything
This is mostly a venting so I apologize, I just need to get some things out of my head. I have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. I've definitively and repeatedly connected it to my digestive system. In my most recent encounter with a doctor directly after I had been taken via ambulance to

Muscle tiredness
I’m 9 months post HA and Triple bypass and take Aspirin, Atenolol, Atorvastatin, Bisopralol, Clopidogrel, Omeprazole and Ramipril. I’m a Tyle 1 diabetic but I consider myself to be fairly fit again. My blood pressure is quite low having been very high post op but I’m in talks with GP about this. When

Update on seeing Electrophysiologist - and fed up.
Hi All, I’m a bit fed up. I wrote a couple of weeks ago about the fact I’d arranged a private appointment with an EP at my local hospital this week, as I was fed up with waiting for a follow up with my cardiologist which should have happened in January. I’m paroxysmal AF, formally diagnosed last September

Constant PACs
I had an ablation 3 months ago. Had some PAC episodes that lasted a few days about a month after the procedure. My EP put me on Flecainide 125mg per day. I also was on Atenolol 175mg per day and was doing good for the last 2 months and I woke up one Monday with these horrible PACs. They’ve been going
