Does anyone know if taking Clopidogrel, Aspirin and liothyronine together is ok?
Hi I had a funny turn last night resulting in the GP putting me on the stroke pathway. I obviously told her I was on Thyroid medication but just double checking if there are any known interactions with these meds? Many Thanks

Palpitations and flare up of PMR symptoms
Hello everyone, I suppose I just want to share what's happening with people who understand! I have been doing a very very slow taper for quite some time and managed to get to my lowest dose yet of 7.5mg pred earlier this month. However, over the last few weeks, I have had a succession of family things

set pattern to PAF
I have had PAF for about 9 years. Symptoms tolerable but the attacks last about 12 hours. No diagnosed cause and cannot take medication owing to low heart rate just on apaxiban. Heart deemed to be too healthy to have an ablation & run even the low risk. I get an attack every 3 weeks, used to be less

Journeys end
Well after 6months in hospital, dad, last Friday, finally moved to his forever care home. It was top of our list so couldn’t believe he got a room (it did take a good 4 months on a waiting list). It was wonderful and the staff brilliant. Unfortunately he only got to spend 5 days there as yesterday he

Waiting for Cardioversion
After 2 successful ablations RF in 2010 and Cryo in 2018 AF returned sometime last year when I noticed that my HR was taking some time to come down after exercise. I had GP appointment in August and EP on 6/12/22. ECG on that day confirmed in AF followed by Holter monitor in January which shows the AF

DOACs
I have had PAF for 22 years. Very light burden for 20 years. Over past two years episodes have increased in frequency. It’s now once a week mostly. On Donedarone for 11 months to stop syncope. Works well for that but recent 24 hour holter monitor showed a few 6 second pauses in SNR. I have bradycardia

ERFA Thyroid
New to taking low dose of above as a trial for my thyroid and health. I have experienced consistent pain in heart area for few days after starting above, been taking ERFA now for 3 weeks. Question NOT about dosage.
Question is; is it fairly common to have heart problems when taking this medication

High diastolic blood pressure
Been having issues over the last 6 months (and increasingly severe for the last 3 months after I had COVID) with feeling dizzy and like I am about to faint, with some shortness of breath and a pounding chest. I went to my doctor thinking that maybe it was just stress or anxiety. My blood pressure was

Dronedarone(Multaq) The good and the bad.?
Am curious to know the experiences of others taking this drug. Hav e been on it for more than three years now with diminishing effect on my PAF. Breakthroughs every 10 to 20 days with an AF duration of about 6 to 7 hours which I help to abort by then taking Bisoprolol 2,5 mg which reduces my heart rate

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.
