Heart rate monitor results - another update
We had our second private consultation today for mum. Mum had the Zio XT monitor for a week. She has permanent AF and HF and the past couple of months have been so difficult as mum hasn’t felt good pretty much every day. The consultant said mum’s average heart rate is around 80 bpm, but the monitor

8 hour flight
I was diagnosed with ET with jak2 about 5 years ago, my platelets aren’t bad at all only 790 at last count, so am only on mini aspirin at present. Going on 8 hour flight soon, should I take any extra precautions? A colleague told me I should be taking fragmin as such a long flight! Does anyone have any

Dr. Bianco: video from Thyroid Foundation of Canada
from 9 months ago. Somehow it ended up in my youtube feed this morning. He makes the point that L-thyroxine doesn't always manage to result in good fT3 levels and patients need Liothyronine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGlYO_H4Gdc&t=2682s

CKD + Asthma Medication
Has anyone found asthma medication that is kidney-safe? I just realized that Breo Elipta and Pulmicort are not. Anyone have suggestions that I can study?

24hr Holter
Hi, Recently started back on Bisoprolol for palpitations/PVCs after 7yrs off. I'm on low dose, 1.25mg but they've really calmed down what were pretty uncomfortable symptoms (3 A&E visits in one weekend!) Anyhow, have a holter monitor booked for next week and not sure whether to stop the Bisoprolol or

Previous Heart attack/stent
2016 when my life changed. I look back now and see that my life in a wierd form changed for the better following my heart attack at the age of 55. Since having the stent placed I realised how restricted my body had been and the relief this procedure had given me. I attended rehabilitation classes for

Reducing cholesterol
I’ve been told that because of the stricter diagnostic parameters the NHS now uses for assessing cholesterol levels in the blood, I have very slightly raised cholesterol. I’ve been told I can have statins, which I agreed to take, with much regret, because they are powerful drugs and I’m already taking

Switching from Disopyramide to Bisoprolol - any advice?
Hi, I have been taking Disopyramide (Rhythmodan Retard 250mg) for AF, but have been unable to find any pharmacists with stock for a while now. So the Cardiac Nurse at my Doctor's Surgery has switched me to Bisoprolol. I am about to switch over from the last of my Disopyramide, and start with the Bisoprolol

Bisoprolol
The only problem I ve encountered is with the specific AF tablet dihydrochloride etc. I have never encountered a problem with 10mg Bisoprolol. I m on Entresto Digoxin spironolactone apixaban and a number of others.

Collapse then AF
Dad has mixed dementia and is 90 in May. He lives alone with my support. He has a history of collapse dating back to the 1990's but only three in all that time. He had a pacemaker in 2017 due to another collapse and found to have some heart block. A year later he had another and this is when we noticed

Is it a choice? Pacemaker v Implanted defibrillator?
Hi, it's #chinkoflight here with an update. Things are moving on. I'm in coronary care, and the evidence for my fainting whilst running story has now shown an arrthymia at the time of the fall, effectively stopping my heart functioning, leading to the drop in blood pressure and the syncope event.

Frustrations
My energy levels were low going into PD due to severe depression and a host of other ailments all contributing to my
CKD
. It was my understanding once I was on dialysis and being properly medicated for the depression and other issues, I would be feeling better.

Persistent AF
Hi everyone, I have been to see my cardiologist today. Had all the usual tests done he asked me how I was feeling I said I felt really well. He then told me I was no longer in Paroxysmal AF and I was in Persistent AF. How can they tell? I have got to have an echocardiogram done and a machine fitted

Abalation Fears
Hi All Today I went and seen my Electrophysiology specialist and have booked in for an ablation in 2 weeks time. I am quite anxious about this whole procedure. He advised me it would be a 70% success rate and mentioned he does not like quoting over this rate. 70% is based on having no more AF episodes
