short afib runs 3 months post ablation
Hello, I had my ablation Jan 27th, unfortunately I am still having short runs of afib at times and experienced significant migraine headaches postop so I’m not in a hurry to repeat the procedure. Has anyone had success after 3 months? My EP doesn’t think it will settle much further. Unfortunately I

Hi all, my last few AF episodes have been when I get into bed, the last one was last night. This means bedtime is becoming quite stressful. Episodes can last 5 Minutes or 5 hours. EP at Liverpool suggested I take extra Nebivolol then if no ease up in an hour take a flecainide. I was on flecainide for

kratom issues
my husband started using kratom about 6 months ago because we can’t get cbd where we live. It was working ok but it’s no longer Easy which has been my problem with it from the Start. We will go back to usa in about 6 weeks. Until then his only option is kratom. he can’t use opiods because he’s bipolar

pbc should I eat carbs before going to sleep.
Hi, I’m 55 and have had pbc for over 15 years and now also have stage 4
ckd
. I was wondering if anyone else has been told by a dietician that you should be eating 50grams of carbs, before going to sleep so you don’t starve the liver. If you have what do you eat? Thanks

Blood Pressure Tablets
Hi - my GP prescribed Amlodipine 5mg one tablet per day for my high blood pressure. Only a couple of days later I saw my Consultant regarding my Afib who changed Amlodipine for Adizem 120mg once a day. I also take Flecainide 50mg twice a day for Afib. Does anyone else take Adizem and have any side

Supplements for arthritis and rivaoxaban
Hi all My husband has paroxysmal AF and a pacemaker takes digoxin and Rivaoxaban. He has slight arthritis in both knees(too much playing hockey in his younger days!) and not bad enough to take painkillers all the time. Bothers him the most after sitting for a while and then moving again. Before his

CBD OIL FOR SORE KNEES
On two occasions my knees have started to experience pain from over exertion due to exercise and playing golf. Both times I have rubbed on CBD oil and have experienced an almost a miraculous relief from the pain that lasts weeks. Just putting it out there your experience may be different, but for now

Blood pressure up and down like a yoyo...
My BP is going up and down all over the place. Last night I took two readings at around 7.30pm and had 117/70 (left arm) and 120/73 (right arm). This morning I took another two readings at 7.30 am and had 158/91 (left arm) and 169/79 (right arm) I always seem to get a lower reading from the left

CKD stage 5 fyi water warning
This week I received one of the new medical newsletters on what is not recommended for renal patients. It said for stage 5 renal patients to avoid drinking excess water, as it is damaging to the cardiovascular system. I mention this because so many of you say drink water, water water! If you are stage

Light headed.
A couple of times this week I have felt light-headed for a few minutes. I do have AF. I take Warfarin and Bisoprolol. I usually feel well. I wonder is this with having AF? I haven't experienced this before. My AF was diagnosed about 4 years ago.

Case report: Rhabdomyolysis and kidney injury in a statin-treated hypothyroid patient-kill two birds with one stone
This case report has a good side: the patient did get diagnosed and treated. But that only follows the dreadful treatment - missing cause of high cholesterol, took statins, rhabdomyolysis, kidney injury. Claims to have been reversed. (I'd like to see the patient's opinion!) But questionable whether

Sudden increase in AF
I am new to this forum. I have a 2 lead pacemaker (11 years ago). I was diagnosed with AF 4 years ago (I am now 78) and was on 150mg fleainide which worked well. Last December I had an attach of AF which caused me to lie down. This was after vigorous exercise so I saw my GP who told me to stop exercising
