When I was first diagnosed with
CKD
in 1992, a friend gave me this poem.
ATTITUDE
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.

Ectopic Beats ruining my life
So I’ve always suffered with anxiety all my life, last year I was going through a lot of stress with work and in December I got stranded in Germany due to bad snow. I was having panic attacks with heart palpitations over Christmas then on Boxing Day I had sat down and I felt this weird thud/flutter in

Dr Mark Norman EP
Have been looking at EPs in my area as I believe that I’ll need an ablation eventually. I’m on flecainide and bisoprolol currently and whilst so far I’ve only had one AF event in the last 12 months (compared to every two or three months pre medication) I know that it may not last. The number of palpitations

A question.
I went for an ECG today which is basically a yearly check re taking Dronedarone. Unfortunately, I was asked to lie down in a totally flat position which leaves me feeling nauseous. I mentioned this to my wife who quite automatically said "Why don't they take your ECG when you are upright"? Which when

Coming off meds - any advice?
Hoping you are all having a good day. I’ve just had the news that my three month post ablation ambulatory ECG has given good results - ‘very reassuring’ and ‘no sign of AF’. So far, so good. I was told that I can stop Flecainide today and Bisoprolol after a further two months. I’d welcome your comments

Angioplasty tomorrow...in urgent need of advice asap pls
Hi all angioplasty booked for tomorrow but not sure if I should go ahead with it or just cancel. Reason for procedure: Doc wants to investigate extent of artery blockage in order to prescribe flecanide medication for afib. If blockage is severe he will fit a stent during the procedure. Got quite a shock

Hi all. Just wondering if anyone on here that has CBD or a loved one with the condition has been refused continuing healthcare funding. We’re currently awaiting the result of my dads assessment. Thanks

ET JAK 2+ CBD patches
So after suffering from breathlessness for 3 years or more and being told by lung consultant that it was due to putting on a bit of weight I paid privately to see a cardiologist!!! He looked at my notes from the lung specialists and saw that they’d fine Ct scans with & without contrast and that nothing

A Simple explanation of the inaccuracies of eGFR
In this Perspectives article, we discuss >70 studies that compared estimated GFR (eGFR) with measured GFR (mGFR), involving ~40,000 renal transplant recipients and patients with chronic kidney disease (
CKD
), type 2 diabetes mellitus or polycystic kidney disease.

Blood pressure
I saw a poster at the GPs about blood pressure, basically it said keep your blood pressure down and you won’t have a stroke or blood clots. I’m wondering if I can keep my low blood pressure, in spite of my platelets being somewhat raised, would that mean I wouldn’t have a stroke? I’ve not known the

AFIB and CBD use????
I am 57 and in relatively good shape. I have serious restless leg syndrome and on January 2nd started taking a full spectrum CBD gummy at night for sleep help. After about 2 weeks I noticed that the RLS had significantly subsided and I was getting better and better sleep. Then right after 2 weeks

Question on eGFR Calculation
I have had
CKD
several years and have progressed to an eGFR of 17-22. I'm wondering, does that mean EACH kidney is functioning at about 17-22 function or is it divided and one kidney is working at 11% and the second kidney is working at 11% for a total of 22?
