Reducing cholesterol
I’ve been told that because of the stricter diagnostic parameters the NHS now uses for assessing cholesterol levels in the blood, I have very slightly raised cholesterol. I’ve been told I can have statins, which I agreed to take, with much regret, because they are powerful drugs and I’m already taking

Switching from Disopyramide to Bisoprolol - any advice?
Hi, I have been taking Disopyramide (Rhythmodan Retard 250mg) for AF, but have been unable to find any pharmacists with stock for a while now. So the Cardiac Nurse at my Doctor's Surgery has switched me to Bisoprolol. I am about to switch over from the last of my Disopyramide, and start with the Bisoprolol

The only problem I ve encountered is with the specific AF tablet dihydrochloride etc. I have never encountered a problem with 10mg Bisoprolol. I m on Entresto Digoxin spironolactone apixaban and a number of others.

The CBD gummies hype - No worthwhile evidence that it alleviates...

I don't know the details but I suspect it was delivered to him in a more sophisticated way than a lump of what looks like

Gastroscopy and Colonoscopy for CKD patients
Is it safe for me with

to take the laxatives that will be prescribed to me? Also, they want to use anasthesia, so that I won't be awake during both procedures.

Collapse then AF
Dad has mixed dementia and is 90 in May. He lives alone with my support. He has a history of collapse dating back to the 1990's but only three in all that time. He had a pacemaker in 2017 due to another collapse and found to have some heart block. A year later he had another and this is when we noticed

Is it a choice? Pacemaker v Implanted defibrillator?
Hi, it's #chinkoflight here with an update. Things are moving on. I'm in coronary care, and the evidence for my fainting whilst running story has now shown an arrthymia at the time of the fall, effectively stopping my heart functioning, leading to the drop in blood pressure and the syncope event. It's

Persistent AF
Hi everyone, I have been to see my cardiologist today. Had all the usual tests done he asked me how I was feeling I said I felt really well. He then told me I was no longer in Paroxysmal AF and I was in Persistent AF. How can they tell? I have got to have an echocardiogram done and a machine fitted

Abalation Fears
Hi All Today I went and seen my Electrophysiology specialist and have booked in for an ablation in 2 weeks time. I am quite anxious about this whole procedure. He advised me it would be a 70% success rate and mentioned he does not like quoting over this rate. 70% is based on having no more AF episodes

shortness of breath subsequent to zoledronic acid infusion
Because of GI problems, bisphosphonate tablets are not an option for me, so I have gone down the infusion path. I had my first infusion on December 28th, and experienced about three days of bad muscle pain, which then resolved itself. It was a couple of weeks later that I noticed that my ankles were

afib and chest infection
hi. My afib has been steady for around 3 months (ie no episodes). My HR runs around 52-60. I’ve started with a chest infection yesterday (can remember feeling like this for a long time) I checked my afib via Apple Watch and although it says I’m in sinus rhythm my HR is low to mid 90’s. Could this

Dont panic.All I could think of was Corporal Jones.
Hi everyone. Earlier today I had to go to the Post Office to renew my driving licence. Couldn't do it online as passport had expired. They take your old licence, payment and then take your photo. Made a proper spectacle of myself as I was literally gasping for air. The Post Office counter lady was

Afib medication
