Peginterferon and platelets
I started taking peginterferon 45 mg in November 2023 with a platelet count of 860. Since then, my bloods have been checked monthly, and my dose gradually increased. On Monday I will start 180 mg, alternating the dose weekly with 135 mg for a month, as my platelet count is now 665 and my Haematologist

Decipher this cholesterol reading please
I know there are plenty of knowledgeable people reading these posts so can you decipher this please Chol 3.5 mmol/L, LDL , HDL 1.78 mmol/L,Chol:HDL ratio , Tri 0.51 mmol/L. I don’t understand this. I’m guessing my cholesterol reading is 3.5, but what are HDL and LDL readings individually?

Post Cardioversion advice
After 4 ‘failed’ ablations, I yesterday had a cardioversion for atrial tachycardia. I went back into NSR after only one shock on the lowest setting and my EP was pleased with how the procedure went. Does anyone have any advice about how I can try to stay in sinus? I know it’s a bit of a lottery but

Benefit of coherent breathing
Before PMR, I was experiencing bouts of arrythmia. Even on controlling drugs, it still occurred about every 25 days. At the start of PMR, I was diagnosed with moderate Aortic Stenosis. A symptom of Aortic Stenosis can be arrythmia. I was told that my condition would deteriorate and so regularly monitored

A return of the dreaded mongrel .......... ????? Part 2
Well, made contact with surgery ( I was 10th in the queue ) couldn't talk to anyone ( GP or Pharmacist ). Left a message and a return phone call a few hours later told me to take 2 blood pressure readings am and pm. for the next 7 days. Excellent stalling practice ! So, I've decided on a more aggressive
