Shortness of breath and chest pains
Two years after afib started I slipped into persistent afib and had an ablation. 60% of the way through the ablation I developed pericardial effusion and the ablation stopped and a drainage tube was placed in my heart. A couple of weeks later I developed chest pain from an autoimmune reaction called

Lexiscan Chemical Stress Test
My EP wants me to have a chemical stress test before he puts me on Flecainide. I have so many problems with Afib and PACs that I’m terrified to have them inject me with something that’s going to make my heart take off. I contacted the doctors office to ask them if I can have the treadmill stress test

Any suggestions?
Any help for permanent afib after having three cardioversions which worked for the past two years last one only lasted two weeks. Taken off Multaq and on Lopressor 100 am & pm plus eliquis. Told ablation would more than likely not be successful. Should I get a second opinion. Do not feel that great

Switching from Bisoprolol to Carvedilol - side affects, time to adjust?
Afternoon all, 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

Heart rate monitor results - another update
We had our second private consultation today for mum. Mum had the Zio XT monitor for a week. She has permanent AF and HF and the past couple of months have been so difficult as mum hasn’t felt good pretty much every day. The consultant said mum’s average heart rate is around 80 bpm, but the monitor

donepezil and CBD
Good morning! My husband is in the late stages of CBD, which for those of you who don’t know, is a close relation to PSP. He is totally bed/wheelchair bound and has very limited speech. He has been choking on everything and nothing. I read on this site about Donepezil helping with that. He started taking

add THC tincture to CBD Salve
Several drops of THC sold as under the tongue tincture mixed thoroughly with Topical CBD salves seems to activate the CBD. Rubbing small amounts of the mix on affected areas joints, limb muscles etc works quickly to reduce pain and inflammation. I never measured the levels of these and so I do not

my ckd drpped from 43 to 37
I recently went to regular doc because of thyroid issues🙄 she ran a full blood work and my kidney function dropped. I have been incredibly tired lately. It is not the thyroid and I have no idea what is causing it. This is the lowest it’s been. Is it possibly to really raise it.

8 hour flight
I was diagnosed with ET with jak2 about 5 years ago, my platelets aren’t bad at all only 790 at last count, so am only on mini aspirin at present. Going on 8 hour flight soon, should I take any extra precautions? A colleague told me I should be taking fragmin as such a long flight! Does anyone have any

Dr. Bianco: video from Thyroid Foundation of Canada
from 9 months ago. Somehow it ended up in my youtube feed this morning. He makes the point that L-thyroxine doesn't always manage to result in good fT3 levels and patients need Liothyronine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGlYO_H4Gdc&t=2682s

24hr Holter
Hi, Recently started back on Bisoprolol for palpitations/PVCs after 7yrs off. I'm on low dose, 1.25mg but they've really calmed down what were pretty uncomfortable symptoms (3 A&E visits in one weekend!) Anyhow, have a holter monitor booked for next week and not sure whether to stop the Bisoprolol or

Previous Heart attack/stent
2016 when my life changed. I look back now and see that my life in a wierd form changed for the better following my heart attack at the age of 55. Since having the stent placed I realised how restricted my body had been and the relief this procedure had given me. I attended rehabilitation classes for
