Drop in resting heart rate since pred
HiI have been on 40mg pred for suspected GCA for2 weeks now. ( actually was 60 in first week then dropped to 40 in second). I had a temporal artery biopsy yesterday so resting up and taking it easy. I wear a fitbit so am aware of my usual resting heart rate. It is normally between 61-65. When asleep

Fibroscan Results
Howdy, I've recently had a scan after increased liver enzymes and an ultrasound nine months ago which showed a fatty liver as a result. Naturally, it motivated weight loss with a cleaner diet which meant a BMI change from 31.2 to 27.1 - so quite some change ! The fibroscan results noted 4.7 KPA and

Do low PSA-producing cells still rely on testosterone to grow?
Am curious to know what the folks here know about this question. If higher PSA cells are driven to near extinction by ADT, and if only low-PSA producing cells survive, are the latter still dependent on testosterone for survival? If not, what do they depend on to grow?

UK alternates to Flecainide?
Background is I had 2 ablations in 2019 but Afib started coming back in 2021 so I was put onto flecainide and bisoprolol. The flec ended up causing more issues but since stopping flecainide and staying on bisoprolol I've been doing pretty well. I was on a very low does of 1.25mg daily, I had an occasional

KardiaMobile and Apple Watch
I recently wore a heart monitor for two weeks. While on the monitor both my CardioMobile and my Apple Watch picked up several episodes of Afib, PACs, and Etopics. The results from the heart monitor test showed I had some episodes of PACs but otherwise the test was normal. It never picked one single

I am so confused about bisoprolol...please help.

Post Ablation advice please??
I underwent an RFA for Afib and Aflutter in late last year (coming up on end of blanking period) for paroxysmal afib/flutter first diagnosed 5 years ago. I have been on Flecainide and Diltiazem for several years. Prior to the ablation, I would experience episodes about 2x a week for about 12-24 hours

Levothyroxine for Underactive thyroid
I cannot tolerate Levothyroxine and wondered what other options are available to me. I have not taken any medications for nearly five years now. I also have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. I am confused what symptoms are connected with Hypothyroidism and what can be attributed

What I had failed to grasp about caffeine all these years...
I am a coffee lover all the way through my life to the extent that we now have a nespresso these days with all the various blends to keep variety up. All the research I read talked about the anti-oxidant properties of coffee and the benefits to a more positive digestion etc etc. Even I used to think

WHY WHY WHY
Suddenly my afib is visiting me a lot more frequently … it used to be every six months … now it’s every three weeks but it only lasts an hour or so and it converts to nsr. Today it happened when l returned from the gym and l was carrying very heavy bolders to put into a plant that keeps falling over

Reporting results from Eclipse Trial
Prior to beginning trial last June I had just gone castrate resistant and PSA was at 3.3. A few weeks after the last of four injections PSA settled in at .25 so there was still something left. However PSA now has quickly shot up to .75 And since I stopped Orgovyx and Zytiga, Testosterone is going up
