Is anyone taking Erleada?
Hello, I received my first Eligard injection on June 6th. PSA dropped from 9 to 0.7 in 3 months. For my second ADT treatment my doctor wants to switch to Trelstar. From what I read it sounds like Eligard and Trelstar are very similar, same side effects. Doctor also wants to add Erleada. After checking

Angry following angiogram letter from a consultant.
I received the following letter from a consultant-addressed to my GP- following my aborted angiogram of last week. It’s fair to say that since I read it this morning I have had steam coming out of my ears, not to mention chest pains. I would value any feedback and advice how to proceed: “Mr [..] has

Coping with working full time with PMR
I've read many helpful suggestions on this site on how to manage a heavy workload and PMR. I have a demanding job with a lot of responsibility. I have sought to balance my symptoms (heavy, heavy harness, brain fog, fatigue and reduced confidence) with work for the past few months, with varying degrees

Had telephone consultation this morning.
I had my three monthly telephone consultation this morning. As usual I worried myself silly yesterday and until the call came this morning. More so because of the ongoing worry about the possible AFIB and the medication I had been taking for the last six weeks. So the call came, my wonderful consultant

Is there an anti arrhythmia drug which doesn't have a side effect of nausea?
Me again. I've stopped taking amiodorane for over 72 hours and most of the nausea has gone. However, the afib symptoms have come back. I am dizzy, breathless and can feel a heart flutter some of the time. I had a phone call this morning with a date for a cardioversion but when I said that I

an Caffeine Trigger Near Syncope?
I quit drinking caffeinated coffee several months ago. My cardiologist told me I should avoid stimulants, as they can be AFib triggers, However, I have since seen studies concluding one or two cups of coffee per day should not trigger AFIb. So, as I was thinking about going back to my morning two-shot

Tummy Bug.
I recently had a tummy bug. I have a fib, and the effect on my heart was frightening. The straining with being sick caused a v bad pain in the centre left of my chest,where I imagine my heart and lung to be. Also it felt like a football was being kicked around in my chest. My heart rate was up in

Ectopic Beats and AF
Joys!!! After having weird chest sensations that make me feel dizzy and nauseous dr has decided I have ectopic beats. This may be while I’ve felt funny recently. I couldn’t decided if it was anxiety or my heart. Other than the AF my heart is structurally sound (for now) so any advice about ectopics

Are you able to help?
Would you be interested in participating in a research study on behalf of the NHS Foundation Trust? The CRAVE-SR study will focus on individuals with a diagnosis of persistent AF, who have previously undergone or are planned to undergo DC cardioversion. This may also include patients who have also

atrial flutter and hot weather
I put a similar post on general BHF site but wondered if people with pre existing arythmia experienced anything similar in hot weather. Background is Aneurysm in ascending aorta and congenital bicuspid valve found incidentally in sept last year. Had 12 days early Oct last year with heart beat at 75

Heart Rate Spikes after Ablation
Hello, I am a 42 year old female. I was diagnosed with afib when I was 18. I played sports with this at times debilitating condition, all through college. I was in much better shape then. Anyway, I had an ablation in March 2022. So now I am 4 months post ablation. It seems the ablation has helped

Life is for living
I had a crappy week this week - work and domestic hassles abounded. So yesterday afternoon I took my beautiful wife to our local pub and we had a few drinks. Then we enjoyed a lovely Chinese meal with the family. Every AFib rule broken and yes, I had an episode. But instead of fighting it and becoming
