DC Cardioversion
So, had a private consultation with a Cardiologist yesterday to investigate my AF and subsequent shortness of breath. I had previously had 2 separate lung function tests and seen a respiratory consultant twice as well. The net result was that my lungs were normal, and a low key level of emphysema was

Increased thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) as a possible risk factor for atherosclerosis in subclinical hypothyroidism.
Have to admit, it is quite hard to read and I have not managed the entirety yet! But it does appear to read that even subclinical hypothyroidism might be important in itself - due to the increased TSH. [i]

heart rate drop
Good evening, i had an ablation back in Jan-23 after being diagnosed with PAF in Oct-22. My avg resting bpm was always between mid high 50s-low 60s as I had exercised regular for all my adult life. I learnt its not uncommon to gain an 10-15 extra beats post ablation and my avg resting bpm did jump

Cod Liver Oil Supplements with Prednisolone
Been on prednisolone (UK) since 01/11/2022. I'm currently taking 3mgs/4mgs on alternate days. 3mgs was too much for me. Anyway if on pred, can we take cod liver oil supplements please? The tablets are ginormous so my husband has bought the liquid. Don't want to start unless it's OK to do so. Any opinions

My Update on Breathing and 02 SATs...
Thank you all that replied to my post - My SATS are not to blame for my Breathlessness - But something is and it's being sorted. I went to see my GP and my 02 SATs are normal for me, They go to 89 and even lower, but not consistently. I normally am 92 at the moment - but as I say can go lower. I

Hello there My father had a heart attack almost 2 months ago and had a stent put in. There was some damage done to his heart but the surgeon is waiting to see if time and medication will heal it. He’s been walking for 15-20 min each day and does cardiac rehab 2 times a week all for the past month.

Subconjunctival Haemorrhage and anticoagulants.
I noticed I had a subconjunctival haemorrhage in the left eye this morning when shaving. Unfortunately, I had already taken my morning dose of apixaban before I noticed it. I couldn’t get a GP appointment even by phone. Does anyone know what the advice is in this case? Is it recommended to pause the

No lung reduction for me
Hi everyone, hope your all as well as you can be.Well I saw my Respiratory doctor at hospital, and after a meeting with specialist at Guys London, I am not suitable for lung reduction due to the fact that I am stage 3 and lungs are full of Emphysema holes, I only have 40% lung function in both lungs

Anca vasculitis
I have had this illness about seven years now and am not having infusions now though I do have an injection of methotrexate every week. I live a quite busy life but am always tired as vasculitis gives me chronic fatigue and bad pains in joints. Now apparently a lot of the pain is I'm told arthritis

Low ferritin
I was diagnosed with PV in November 2020. Initially, I had a few phlebotomies to reduce my hematocrit but thankfully I've passed my last three blood tests and haven't had one since January 2023. I take aspirin, a spoonful of cod liver oil and half a tin of grapefruit every day to keep my haematocrit

Verapamil Allergy/Vasculitis
I am so, so devastated. I have been down a long road of medications for my persistent PACs/Bigeminy. They were able to ablate the SVT but couldn't get the PACs. So at the end of a long road of meds, I finally found Verapamil, which actually stopped the PACs, and I was so, so thankful. I was able to
