what’s a good bisoprolol dose.
hello, I’m on bisoprolol 1.25 twice a day and it seems to be too low a dose to keep my heart happy. The Arrhythmia nurse I spoke to wants to put it up as my HHR today has been up to 140 for about 10 hours now and extra pills so far have not got it down. My question is does a 2.5 make you too tired and

Blood pressure higher in the evening
Normally I take my blood pressure in the morning at about11 o'clock. I am on medication , I take ramipril a diuretic and bisoprolol (2.5) at night and another bisoprolol in the morning at 11.

Kind of personal question
I did talk to my therapist and he isn't sure if meds would be ok with
CKD
but does think they are indicated. If anyone takes an antidepressant with
CKD
I'd appreciate knowing so I can ask my Internist about getting one. I'm Stage 4 eGFR 28.

Atrial Fibulation from cancer treatment not standard Afib. Update post EP Consultation
Hello Everyone so as promised an update. I saw my EP on Friday. He explained that Afib usually occurs around certain sites in the left Atrium (? Is that the correct term) and these are the sites they target when doing an Ablation. He said when we do cryo we can't see where the electrical impulses are

AF and weight gain. Do AF and associated treatments impact on the ability to lose weight?
Hi there. I was diagnosed with persistent AF and have been on Bisoprolol and Apaxiban ever since. Cardioversion undergone which was not helpful and now await postponed ablation. I constantly feel very sluggish and have put on nearly a stone in the last year. I have been on a strictly calorie controlled

Palpitations versus Atrial Fibrillation ?
Over the years, I have had a number of Palpitations, which sometimes they keep me awake, and constant every few seconds. I recently bought myself a Kardia 6 lead ECG Monitor, so I could keep a watch on my heart rhythms, and if this would show up any problems needing looked at Over a few days, there

In trouble EGFR 11
This is obviously not 'early
CKD
' but I've been lurking on the board for a long time. I was diagnosed with IgA nephropathy in 2018 band my EGFR had been 21. I am in my late 40's. Male. White. It was caught at a blood test for something else. Since January this year it is at its lowest.

Calcium channel blocker dosage
Hi all, I am on Cordilox (AKA Verapamil) which is a calcium channel blocker. Currently taking 2x40 mg twice a day = 160mg/day. Cardiologist suggested I change to one SLOW RELEASE 180mg tablet/day. When I asked. why he kind of said it will result in more even levels of the drug through the day. He

Starting on Flecainide
My history is that I was first diagnosed with AF in A & E in the early hours of the morning in November 2021 after a very hot curry and half a bottle of wine. I was prescribed anti coagulants and beta blockers. I had a brief reoccurrence in March 2022 but I went back into NSR as soon as they called

VLDL results - confusing
For the last five years or so, I’ve had slightly high cholesterol , e.g. 5.7 mmol/l total, 3.4 LDL but good 1.9 HDL, 0.9 triglycerides and total/HDL ratio of 3. I get tested once a year or so. I’m not overweight and am active, etc., but I do want to bring that LDL down and made a few changes such as

Cardioversion
I happened to come across a programme on Freeview last night about an A&E department, not something I'd normally watch but I heard them say "Cardioversion". They showed a man actually having the procedure; explained why his AF needed to be corrected, the risks and benefits of the procedure. It was
