A couple of weeks later I developed chest pain from an autoimmune reaction called

Lexiscan Chemical Stress Test
My EP wants me to have a chemical stress test before he puts me on Flecainide. I have so many problems with Afib and PACs that I’m terrified to have them inject me with something that’s going to make my heart take off. I contacted the doctors office to ask them if I can have the treadmill stress test

Any suggestions?
Any help for permanent afib after having three cardioversions which worked for the past two years last one only lasted two weeks. Taken off Multaq and on Lopressor 100 am & pm plus eliquis. Told ablation would more than likely not be successful. Should I get a second opinion. Do not feel that great

I have struggled with this for many years but don't know if there is a connection. I virtually never get a proper night's sleep because of these symptoms.

Cannàbis CBD Oil
Been talking to a CBD retailer. He says he sells the stuff made direct from the plant rather than the synthesized commercial version made in a lab. Quite expensive at £65 for a month supply. Has anyone had any success with it, esp in relation to removing stiffness and sleep?

Switching from Bisoprolol to Carvedilol - side affects, time to adjust?
Afternoon all, 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

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

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

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.
