Do natural supplements work to reduce high cholesterol?
While strictly not a PMR issue I know there are a few whose cholesterol has risen markedly since being diagnosed. I am one of them. I have always had high-ish cholesterol but my last fasting blood test showed everything else perfectly normal but my cholesterol was up. I haven't seen the results

Any tips on raising HDL please? Thanks
Hi Vegan for almost 30 years now, age 52. Latest bloods. Total cholesterol 2.6 (<5) LDL 1.6 (<4) HDL 0.9 (>1.0) Triglycerides 0.6 (<1.8) Non HDL 2.25 Cholesterol/HDL ratio 3.0 (<5) So, all markers are ok except for HDL. I’ve read that vegans tend to have low HDL. Any tips to raise this please

Cardioversion
Hi everyone, I have gone from paroxysmal AF ( once a month) to permanent AF since the beginning of December. My EP has referred me for cardioversion which is on Feb 28th. My heart rate is constantly around 70 - 80 even when resting, with an irregular rhythm. I take Apixaban, Flecainade and Verapramil

Cardioversion
I recently had a Cardioversion for persistent AF. This worked immediately but very quickly reverted. I have never been aware of the AF, I only get the notification from my BPM. My BP is reasonable (medicated) and my heart rate is always about 66. My main problem is exhaustion and breathlessness. The

Ablation outcome
So I haven't been on for a while or updated on the outcome of my ablation that I had at the end of August. I stayed in and out of NSR for about 2 weeks before settling in to a symptomless permanent AFib. The only problem was I felt breathless on climbing hills or running. A 24 hour ECG showed my average

HANG IN THERE.
as a severe sufferer just want to let all my people know that you can live with it, hang in there when times are tough. There are ways to cope maybe not right away but over time it must become your friend not your enemy. Living with Tinnitus is a mental game not a physical. You Just have to find what

tapering off azathioprine
Hi all, Just had a consultation with my rheumatologist today and he has changed his outline for me going forward that you may find interesting I was diagnosed with GPA in 2017 and was quite severe at time of diagnosis. Initially had cyclophosphamide infusions and have been maintained on azathioprine

Heartrate
I have just started wearing a smart watch and cannot stop checking my heartrate. I am on 1.25mg of Bisoprolol which I have been taking for over a year. This was for an episode of AF. My resting heartrate is around 55. Sometimes at night whilst asleep it is as low as 45. Is this acceptable? I feel OK

question about hypothermia?
a couple weeks back, I visited my Kaiser infusion lab …. Lupron implant and Zometa pain train infusion. While there the intake nurse was alarmed with my 95.2 body temp. It’s been running between 95.2 and 95.7 lately. She told me to go to the E.R. , immediately, if it dropped to 95 or less. They were

A positive story
2 years ago I was suddenly hit by atrial fibrillation. It knocked me sidewards with daily episodes lasting hours at a time which made normal life impossible . I though my life was over . I tried flecanide , bisprolol and lasted verapamil ...none helped much and caused bad side effects that affected

Private cholesterol testing - not DIY
Hello all, I used to keep blood tests abroad, but I travel less now. The NHS will give tests every few years, but I’d like to keep an eye on my LDL figures. I have tried at home kits with limited success. I just wondered about options for clinics who do this? I’m sort of OK to pay up to £80 but any

Ablation update and reassurances.
Had an ablation Dec.30. Afib episodes Jan. 2-5. I felt worse than ever before but Doc said to take 200mgs amiodarone on the 5th and would schedule a cardioversion if I didn't go back into NSR in next couple days. Well, lo and behold, went into NSR on the 6th and been afib free since. I have a follow

2 weeks after ablation - ectopics going a bit crazy!
had a PFA ablation almost three weeks ago. First week was ok, the odd ectopic, but now the ectopics / palpitations are happening almost constantly, worse after food and at night when lying down. Doctor tells me things should settle down soon. Doesn’t feel that way right now! I take bisoprolol and flecainide
