Hey guys. Glad to find this group. 81 years old- Diagnosed 7 years ago with a Gleason 9 The Onc's finally scared me into having a radical but I refused to let them take my nerves. They told me I would be gone in 5 yrs. In retrospect wish I hadn't had the radical. Info and options were very hard to come

When to take bisoprolol ?
Hi , My husband is on 7.5 in the morning and I’ve reduced him to 5 in the evening as he has been so tired all the time . They only upped it by 2.5 when I rang heart function nurse when his ecg on his watch was creeping up to 130 . He was on digoxin before which seemed to keep his ecg around 89/90 but

cardioversion
How do people feel being in persistent AF? I have an appointment for a cardioversion pre op on Thursday after being told after an angiogram that everything the arteries were fine but I was in persistent AF. I have no symptoms and feel absolutely fine, the consultant did double my bisoprolol to lower

Arrhythmias with minimal exertion
Greetings, everyone, I am new to the forum and I am trying to figure out the cause of my heart rate spiking with minimal exertion. This is always accompanied by shortness of breath. I will provide some info and am hoping others will chime in with ideas. History: I realized back in July that my heart

Mum with CBD
Good morning It's been a while since I wrote on here. My mum got diagnosed with CBD in 2017 we were told in January 2020 she had 4 weeks left to live and was moved into a care home for palliative care. Thankfully she is still with us. Hasn't eaten and been bed bound now for 4 years. She survives on 6

low heart rate
hi, I was in hospital 6 weeks ago with a bad attack of A Fib. Came as a shock as I’d had palpitations on and off for a few seconds but nothing lasting hours. I was given Bisopropol and edoxaban to go along with the Ramipril and Amlodopine I was already on. The beta blocker must have worked as I went

Background: I have
CKD
and am a T-2 diabetic. I'd been on Metformin since almost the beginning, about 20 years. In Jan my neph ran the new lab test for GFR, the more accurate one, and my gfr went from around 140 to 128.

The Truth about Home Hemodialysis
The only time I was every really bad with
CKD
was when I was passing kidney stones like a goose or in 2018 when I just retiring and majorly stressed. Once I switched to a renal, and then mostly plant-based diet, I felt fine. I was working out and walking 2 miles or more a day.

Lp(a) results are in ….
I’ve recently had bloods taken to test for FH and Lp(a) levels. I had a heart attack in 2022 at aged 51 and was started on a whole ton of medications afterwards including Atorvastatin 80mg and then a bit later adding in 10mg Ezetimibe. My LDL cholesterol has not been able to reach the target of 1.4

It all started with a purple toe!
I've had high cholesterol for more than twenty years and although I've been prescribed statins, have never continued taking them until recently when I developed a purple toe. The doctor was concerned it was an embolism and I was sent for several tests and to see a consultant. It appears from an ECG

Zanubrutinib and ACE inhibitors
I am approaching the start of treatment for the first time. I have for many years been taking an ACE inhibitor (perindropril) for high blood pressure, which is now well controlled. I have CLL, my lymphocyte count is doubling quickly (~2 months) and my haematologist is considering options for treatment

Heart rate tracker anomalies
Hi everyone, I'm getting quite anxious due to my Fitbit reporting strange peaks in my heart rate. This was 4:37 this morning, and back to 70bpm 3 mins later. I slept through this so have no idea if it's accurate. Yesterday it said my heart was 187bpm while I was walking briskly to meet someone for lunch

chest pain 18 days after ablation
hello I am a 47 year old healthy female I had a heart ablation which the surgeon said went well. I stayed in two nights as my blood pressure kept dropping every time I would stand. I had a very heavy chest feeling almost like a balloon was surrounding my heart. I completely lost my appetite. The hospital

Flecainide side effects
Hello All I've had AFIB for 10 years and I've always preferred the Pill in the Pocket. Recently I was advised by my Consultant to try 50 mgs of flecainide and 1.25 mgs of Nebivolol twice a day. I'm only into my fifth day and I find I have constant heartburn since day two. Previously the PIP usage

More On Rate Control Meds
Having a quick delve into the arcane world of rate control drugs recently I found a pretty interesting article from the European Heart Rhythm Association:
Beta-blockers in atrial fibrillation—trying to make sense of unsettling results
Some snippets: [i]"Heart failure with a reduced ejection
