Paroxysmal and permanent Afib
Does anybody know when paroxysmal Afib becomes permanent? I was diagnosed with paroxysmal Afib towards the end of 2022, after I had been fitted with a Linq loop recorder. I was only ever having short episodes lasting up to 8 hours, then on 13th October just gone I started with an episode which is still

What causes sudden return to sinus rhythm from permanent AF, even when it only lasts an hour or two?
I have permanent AF and of late is has been fairly normal to find walking difficult and feeling very breathless and easily tired. I am used to the routine of just carrying on and making myself stay as occupied and busy as I can. What I just found today, was that I found the daily walk (40 minutes,

CBD oil/vapes
Hi all. So after trying various medications, my doc suggested I go onto morphine. Having managed to come off the likes of tramadol, co-codamol and such, I really don't want to go down that path again. A friend suggested cbd oil and vapes. I've been taking the vape which is 500mg during the day and take

First ever park run
Well, I’ve finally done it! First parkrun in the bag and it was enjoyable- as everyone had said, brilliantly well organised, friendly and absolutely no pressure. I wasn’t going to take the dog because I wanted to suss it out myself first but she did those puppy dog eyes at me when I put the gear on

THC/CBD/CBN
Has anyone used THC,CBD,CBN for restless leg or insomnia. I am just starting to try in hopes to either get off of the drugs I am on for RLS/Insomnia which are low dose pregabalin and klonopin. Just curious about peoples experience and whether there are any benefits.

Advice on medication
Over the last couple of weeks I have had pains in my stomach and for longer than that regular bladder problems. Always feeling I need to go to the toilet. I am on 3.5 mg of prednisolone and am wondering if it has anything to do with the other pills I am taking each day. 1 -20 mg omeprazole, 1 - 1000

Kratom anti-depressant, anti-psychotic, anti-anxiety herb!
I've recently come across an herbal suppliment that has realy helped me. If you research it you'll find that it has some potential for abuse. It effects opioid receptors. Just like opiod meds. For pain you take a large dose. In large doses it also has a sedating effect. That is were the addiction lays

Simvastatin v Atorvastatin
Just had a conversation with my Surgery employed Pharmacist. she asked me if I would object to switching from Simvastatin to Atorvastatin as the Simvastatin was rather an old drug. I was put on it around 2007. I told her to go ahead ... no problems. The following quote is what I found during an ultra

Extreme insomnia
I've had GAD since I was in graduate school back in 1997. It seems to be triggered by insomnia and escalates from there. I have been stable for most of my life on Paxil but over the last year the anxiety seemed better so I tapered down to 10mg. I started having some depression symptoms over the last

Interesting to know...
If you had the idea that AF is reserved for us, humans, you were wrong. It is kinda catching, lol, so our pets can also have AF problems. Here a passage from an article, talking about AF in cats and dogs and the interdependence of heart size and the probability to have AF (allegedly, larger hearts (sportsmen

AMIODARONE SCARE
Hello everyone; If anyone recalls, about a little over a month ago I was told I had minimal lung fibrosis as an x-ray revealed it that was related to amiodarone. Well after a ct-scan looking specifically for fibrosis I am ecstatic to say the findings came back NEGATIVE, none whatsoever. During that time

What’s an acceptable rate?
so I’m back in afib, doctor sent me home with 2.5mg of bisoprolol and also blood thinners. At moment my heart rate when not doing a lot (sitting down watching tv) is around 90-100bpm. Sometimes In the 70s and 80s and even lower 60s and possible 50s when asleep! So basically I’d say my base rate is
