Hello again. Questions with AF medications
Hi. Need to ask this question on current medications. Furosemide (water pill) 40 mg. once per day. Metoprolol (heart pill) 75 mg. twice a day. And Xarelto (blood thinner) 20 mg. once per day. Has anyone experienced any type of anxiety while on these types of AF medications? I occasionally suffer

AF is back after lung cancer operation
I had a successful ablation over 4 years ago and stayed in sinus rhythm until this week. I had an operation 2 weeks ago and this week my Apple Watch detected AF. This has been confirmed by GP. Bisoprolol is increased from 5mg to 7.5 to try to reduce the heart rate. Starting that today. I was warned

Home testing machines
I am new to this group and I have family with afib, I have panic and anxiety with rapid heartbeat but was trying to rule out heart issues. I bought a kardiamobile ekg machine and tried it about 10 times and always got unclassified. My husband tried it and he got normal so it didnt appear to be interference

I am in the throws of reading Chris van Tulleken's book Ultra-Processed People. It has been an eye opener. Not that one hasn't been aware of the harms of processed food but perhaps one has been unaware at how extensive it is and also how seemingly malicious for corporate gain? What does come out is

PIP when on oxygen 24/7
What a shocking past week! I've had COPD ( emphysema ) for several years but over the course of the last few weeks I've experienced a rapid decline in my breathing to the degree I could only walk a few metres before being totally out of breath. On Wednesday I attended a routine appointment at Sevenoaks

Vitamin A - retinol.
Dr. John Campbell posted a video about how low vitamin A (retinol) levels predispose a person to experience pneumonia from the Mycoplasm pneumoniae which is currently at near epidemic levels among children in northern China. No surprise here to be honest considering the severe lockdowns. Children have

Post ablation (1 week) and back in AFib. How often is this likely to happen over next few weeks?
Have had PAF for a few years and this year episodes became lengthier and more frequent, the latest lasting 4 weeks. Had a Cryo-ablation last Tuesday at Lancashire Cardiac Centre and was ok for a week, albeit with a few spells of ectopic beats and a very short run of AF (30-40 seconds only). Went on

Has anyone ever been told that ablation will not work for them?
Hi all i am quite baffled as to why private cardiologist has referred me to one of his colleagues for ablation. I have been told numerous times, by nhs cardiologists, that ablation will not work to treat my afib. If fact one previous doctor said, "Ablation is out of the question due to extent of enlarged

paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
I have posted re my paroxysmal AF with episodes very fast heart rate requiring treatment in hospital, but am now concerned about ever getting the Ablation I am waiting for. Have just found a letter August, which says “we’ll consider ablation if another very fast heart rate episode occurs”. Well so

Amiodarone and AF
I had cardioversion in August at Bart’s to restore sinus rhythm after being in persistent AF for 6 months. Been on amiodarone and pleased to report not a single flutter since. Had transformed my life. Cardiologist wants to reduce my dose and later change me to another drug. Does anyone have experience

Supraventricular Ectopies
I’m looking for reassurance, my friends. I am plagued by many palpitations these days, which my Kardia says are mostly SVEs, with a bit of Afib thrown in - unless of course Kardia is incorrect and they are all Afib ! I see a cardiologist annually and actually, because I complained of these palpitations

Low sodium diet
I am here, on this forum for my husband's
CKD
/proteinuria (all unexplained- kidney biopsy was "normal" as well as his genetic test). Anyway, his Nephrologist put him on low sodium November 30th. I went on it with him and haven't had a migraine since!

Study: Cannabidiol Inhibits the Proliferation and Invasiveness of Prostate Cancer Cells
Abstract Prostate cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in men, responsible for over 375,000 deaths in 2020. Novel therapeutic strategies are needed to improve outcomes. Cannabinoids, chemical components of the cannabis plant, are a possible solution. Preclinical evidence demonstrates
