Kidney Cyst Pain
I was informed in January 2023 that I have Stage 4
CKD
(GFR of 28) - unfortunately I had NEVER been told that I'd been in Stage 3a an 3b
CKD
for the previous 10 years! After a ultrasound and MRI I was informed I have a 3.5 cm cyst IN my right kidney (= the cyst is taking up 33% of that kidney).

Drop in resting heart rate since pred
HiI have been on 40mg pred for suspected GCA for2 weeks now. ( actually was 60 in first week then dropped to 40 in second). I had a temporal artery biopsy yesterday so resting up and taking it easy. I wear a fitbit so am aware of my usual resting heart rate. It is normally between 61-65. When asleep

Background is I had 2 ablations in 2019 but Afib started coming back in 2021 so I was put onto flecainide and bisoprolol. The flec ended up causing more issues but since stopping flecainide and staying on bisoprolol I've been doing pretty well. I was on a very low does of 1.25mg daily, I had an occasional

KardiaMobile and Apple Watch
I recently wore a heart monitor for two weeks. While on the monitor both my CardioMobile and my Apple Watch picked up several episodes of Afib, PACs, and Etopics. The results from the heart monitor test showed I had some episodes of PACs but otherwise the test was normal. It never picked one single

Christmas/Holiday Anxiety
*Update* Yesterday, I took a friend with me and went for a test drive to see how it affected me. I drove 2 hours, into an especially beautiful part of the country, had a lovely lunch, and drove home again - in total, about 7 hours out and about. Many stops for photo's, brief walks and looking at interesting

I am so confused about bisoprolol...please help.
Hi i was prescibed 1.25 dose of bisoprolol after being admitted to a+e on 7 Feb. I have known Afib, not permanent afib. Over past year i have been told by EP, top thorasic surgeon, and several cardiologists that anti arrthymia meds and rate control meds are not an option open for me to be presribed this

Post Ablation advice please??
I underwent an RFA for Afib and Aflutter in late last year (coming up on end of blanking period) for paroxysmal afib/flutter first diagnosed 5 years ago. I have been on Flecainide and Diltiazem for several years. Prior to the ablation, I would experience episodes about 2x a week for about 12-24 hours

Post 2nd Ablation Recovery
Hi All, I am 11-days in to my recovery from my second ablation procedure and wanted to check if anyone else has/had the symptoms I am suffering from; as I didn't have them after the first ablation procedure. I have two key ones as follows; 1. After walking for a few minutes and then standing still

WHY WHY WHY
Suddenly my afib is visiting me a lot more frequently … it used to be every six months … now it’s every three weeks but it only lasts an hour or so and it converts to nsr. Today it happened when l returned from the gym and l was carrying very heavy bolders to put into a plant that keeps falling over

Doctor has scared me!
My question is with Diabetic
CKD
stage 3b is it common to have that happen. He does not know much and just can't refer me further at stage 3b as all the specialists are booked solid. I am very nervous of this. I am 65. Thanks for any shared information.👍
