niacin as cause of strokes and heart attacks?
I know a lot of us taking B Complex so posting this article to hear your thoughts. I take one from cytoplasm where it’s 16mg, I wonder if this is ok 🤔 https://www.newscientist.com/article/2417665-niacin-supplements-linked-to-greater-risk-of-heart-attacks-and-strokes/ [ Link edited to remove potentially

Good Morning everyone, just trying to understand to make sure it isn’t just me. But has anyone suffered with depression and PTSD after series heart surgery, because I have and wanted to make sure I wasn’t alone, although I do at times feel depressed, I was 17 when I had surgery. And just now wanted advice

NERVE BLOCK INJECTION
Ive got neurological itch, which I am putting down to fibromyalgia, and I'm booked in for nerve block injections. Im worried it could possibly make things worse, as my body tends to over react to treatments with more pain. Lets hope it works for us both, I have no idea of the success rate with this

Hi everyone, I had an echocardiogram to assess damage to heart for other drugs for a blood condition.

Warning Signs Before My Cardiac Arrests
Hi -- after I posted the description of my 4 cardiac arrests, a couple people asked for more details, like what early symptoms or warnings I had. So here goes. In the year before my cardiac arrests in July of 2018 I was awoken 4 times with breathing difficulties. I simply couldn't catch my breath

Good News
Well I am not sure if you’d call it good news, but it is for me 13th was the FIRST birthday of my new heart so to speak lol that’s what I call it One year ago my EP found a way to save my life. I was unable to walk, and I had had a cardioversion that not only failed, but almost finished me off

Return of the Duck. The Saga Continues.......
Good morning guys and gals.Hope everyone is as well as they can be. Well, here's the promised update from a couple of years ago but to be fair, nothing much had happened on the heart surgery front, I'd been in nsr and I have still been contributing replies.

Changing from Adoxaban to Apixaban … what to expect?
Good morning forum. While waiting for a second cardioversion the medics have decided to change my anticoagulant from Adoxaban to Apixaban (the low dose Adoxaban I was on until this morning could be a bit borderline if I put on just a pound or two weight). A bit fed up as this delays the cardioversion

Prescribed NDT on NHS now doctor refusing to prescribe. Help!
I has to move GP Practise and before moving to current one I asked to speak to a GP. Receptionist said it wasnt necessary if a nhs consultant has recommended they will prescribe. So wouldn't get a doctor to phone me. I moved. All seem good but my repeats were not being set up. So became concerned.
