Trying to come off Bisoprolol and hearing long term side effects Inc vascular dementia
Hi all, I am now over a year post ablation and attempting to wean off all drugs. Yet hearing that bisoprolol is an anticholinergic which can be a risk for vascular dementia. I have a family history of dementia and have felt some short term memory issues.. Has anyone else been aware of this ? I

Atrial natriuretic peptide
So I went on a bit of an adventure. My last episode, while again still thankfully not as intense as previous episodes, had an interesting twist that I hadn't really noticed before. I had to pee 6 times in the space of an hour. So I went searching on the internet as we do, and I learned about atrial

Fybro & CBD - homemade cream
I have been diagnosed with FM 3 years ago, just before the first COVID-19 lockdown . As almost everyone here - lots of changes in medication, no real GP appointments, uneffective Pain clinic , etc.Had to find alternatives myself. I hate the smell of cannabis, just the smell makes me sick. So I concentrate

Techniques to stop A fib naturally
I read an article as I was in A fib and trying to research ways to get back into sinus rhythm. It was suggested that I close my mouth and hold my nose and try to blow as hard as possible. I tried it and it worked for me after one attempt. I'll try it again next time I'm in A fib, but thought I'd put

Well here I go again, another cancellation, another wait. I have continual AF for just coming up to two years. I’m on 10mg of Bisoprolol and 62.5 digoxin, plus Apixaban. First appointment with Cardio, told to lose weight and get on with it, no medication, oh ok. Went to GP who gave medication and

Short episode five months after ablation.
Do hope everyone is having a good day and has been able to enjoy this beautiful weather. I have PAF and had my first ablation 5 months ago. All was fine through recovery, some discomfort, some ectopics and loads of tiredness. Two and a half weeks ago the report was good in my post ablation consultation

Need information on overactive bladder and magnesium deficiency
Most meds for overactive bladder say they're not suitable for those with
CKD
. For the magnesium, I'm using the glyconate version an I'm having trouble tolerating even a half dose. Any Information will be appreciated

Guanfacine and N-acetylcysteine (NAC-600 mg)
I recently posted a link to an article that talked about treating brain fog with a combination of Guanfacine, a prescription drug used for treating high blood pressure, and N-acetylcysteine (NAC-600 mg), which I gather is an over-the-counter supplement. Has anyone here had any experience with either

Hi received from HealthUnlocked the article about CBD & Magnesium cream. I read the trustpilot comments and thought - sounds good to me.
So ordered a tube. Fine - then I thought - that was silly as didn't check whether it interferes with the WARFARIN I have to take. Yes, you've guessed it - its a GREAT BIG NO-NO - can't have CBD if on warfarin. Talk about brain fog took over. Anyway just want to let others know BEFORE they buy (

Pain control with PLMD
I take 100 mg Lyrica for PLMD, the lowest possible dosage as I never have been able to shake the daytime sedation. Now I have some kind of pinched nerve that has been causing chronic pain. Tylenol is not sufficient (I am going to try a lidocaine patch today for the first time and hope that will help

Continuing Healthcare Farce
We have just been declined for CHC funding for my dad who has advanced stage CBD. Apparently he does not meet the health criteria!! He is on lots of medication which my mum administers. He is at home with carers coming in 4 times a day to do all the personal care and has a visit from the District Nurses
