Returning to Warfarin after 4 months on Edoxaban ...... part 2
I posted on here my original comments on this subject. Hopefully, this update, will be of interest. I made the decision to quit Edoxaban on 6 April. I didn't /couldn't be bothered to make contact with my GP, whenever I phone up for a chat I'm asked to make an appointment which usually is about 10 days

Feeling overwhelmed
After a routine lung screening CT scan I was diagnosed with mild emphysema and some calcification of my heart arteries. I was also referred for a further high definition CT Scan to confirm bronchiectasis. My GP prescribed Salamol which did nothing to help the breathlessness and chest tightness I'd been

Vitamin D Result
Hi, I’ve been supplementing with 4,000 iu Vit D and here’s my latest result. I take co factors of Vit K2-MK7 and magnesium. I have 2 queries I hope you can help me: 1) Is 127nmol/l sufficient (I have hypothyroidism and I have a poor conversion) 2) Should I be adding Vit A? I’ve read that Vit D

5 Days Post Ablation and getting an ECG
After three days of being extremely breathless and light headed following a cryo ablation at the JR last Friday I'm now feeling more settled, my pulse still fast and irregular but not as extreme. I had a call from an arrhythmia nurse (at last) at the JR who was very helpful. The next step is an ECG

No one died from A F
I posted earlier today . I am not now being negative , I am trying to be pragmatic . On this brilliant forum we are constantly told “ no one dies of AF “. I was wondering what actually brought on the first bout of A F to people here. Mine came on years after Mitral Valve repair . 2 long ablations

What is a cardioversion?
If you have AF you may have been offered a cardioversion, but may be unsure of what to expect? A
cardioversion
is a procedure to convert your heart from AF back into normal (sinus) rhythm. This is achieved by administering a rhythm control medication (antiarrhythmic drug) by mouth or through

Lopressor dose titration
Permanent afib 100mgm of Lopressor am & 50 pm plus eliquis. Decided to cut back to 50 in am because of blurred vision and now have had upset stomach times 1 week plus HR back up to low 100's. Thought I felt better on lower dose but maybe not??

Too Much Omega 3 triggering AFib?
I care for a family member with an AFib history. It has recently reared its head again after several years without an issue. I have been trying to find a possible trigger. One of the possible things I suspect is that it may be the overhaul in her diet the last couple of months. I noticed one day

PTSD?
Hi all I posted a couple of months ago that my dad had passed away after a suffering from CBD. My issue is I am struggling to remember my dad before he was ill. All I see is him laying in his bed and nothing from before he was ill. This is really upsetting me. We had a very traumatic few weeks before
