No more appointments
I had an appointment yesterday to discuss results of recent echo. Was seen by a specialist (can’t remember official title) who is a level below cardiologist - apparently does all the ground work and liases with cardiologist. He advised that as well as afib, I now have 2 slightly leaky valves and also

APS and Panic Attacks
Hi, I have been living with the diagnosis of APS since 2017 after a mini-stroke in my left eye, which fortunately left no damage. Recently, I switched from aspirin to warfarin after possibly experiencing another mini-stroke, though this hasn't been confirmed by tests. Sometimes, I feel dizzy, short

Hi all I'm going away for 6 weeks to france so I'm stocking up on meds. My question is how long can you go without apixaban in an emergency as I'm on 2 a day. Also on a small dose of bisop once a day. This is my first time away in a year since my stroke last July and a bit nervous 😓 Thank you

2nd Ablation woes
Hi I had a second ablation 2 weeks ago today. Everything went well and I felt happy and optimistic. Then a few days ago I went back into Af with an erractic heartbeat that is still continuing. Spoke to Arrythmia nurse and she advised this is quite common and I might need a cardioversion in 6 weeks after

Flecainide before Cardioversion
My EP's plan was to have me start on Flecainide and then have Cardioversion in hopes that my heart would keep rhythm. EP changed his mind because my INR was below threshold and told me to not take it until AFTER the CV in case the med converted my heart. I was instructed to have an ECG done 2 days

Excruciating jaw pain
Over the past week, pain in my jaw has been getting worse. It’s now excruciating at times. It’s not there all the time but does often coincide with eating. Had a thorough dental examination and no sign of infection or necrosis (from Zometa). I’m taking cocodamol but it’s not enough. Any similar experiences

Vasculitis (especially CNS/cerebral) and incontinence
I was helping another cerebral/CNS vasculitis patient tonight about incontinence. Which can be a common symptom of brain vasculitis, whether a primary CNS/cerebral vasculitis, or secondary brain involvement from a systemic vasculitis like GPA. But vasculitis medics frequently under recognise incontinence

Thankyou
Thankyou to everyone for all the replies to my previous post. I have felt anxious because of being newly diagnosed and new to the meds so the replies have helped me greatly. I've still got an echo to come and 48hr ecg and I have the date for the ecg now. Thankyou once again.

iwatch setting - AF history or AF alert?
Prior to my ablation last October I had persistent Afib. Since then I have been in NSR. I have kept my iwatch monitor set to record “AF history” and it has consistently shown AF load to be 2% or under on the weekly notifications. Should I stay on this setting or should I now set it to show alerts the

Weird leg pain
Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this weird symptom! For almost 10 years now I have had pain in my outer calf about two inches up from my ankle on both sides. It comes on with the slightest exertion but is not there all the time. The achy pain builds and builds until I feel like

Low Dose Aspirin for Heart Disease
My cardiologist wants me to take a daily low dose aspirin, but I am hesitant as I have a history of proteinuria. I know the studies are inconclusive as to whether or not it helps (and even my cardiologist admits that), but I have a bad valve and my risk is moderately high for sudden death/stroke. I'm

Brain lesion
anybody here who experienced brain lesions that might be from PCa? Current PSA is 0.025. It’s just confusing that after ADT works to remove all the symptoms including bone pain from bone mets, my dad was diagnosed with brain lesion after an MRI since he had mild stroke symptoms(slurred speech). Does

Warfarin
Has anyone experienced Warfarin failing you more than once? I have had three different instances where I had large clots in my lungs while on it. I am still on it (after my coverage from work denied paying for Framing injections - the only anticoagulant that hasn't failed me). Just wondering if this

I NEVER LEARN
Hello everyone, It's 5:44 AM in California and the paramedics have just left. I called them as while lying in bed I felt nauseous, and stomach felt odd so I put my oximeter on my finger and watched it go down to 29 and then back up to baseline HR for me of 50 and it really freaked me out but I tried

update on switching to digoxin from lopressor
Stopped digoxin this am and starting back on lopressor. bad heartburn and nausea just kept getting worse. Lots of hydrating and will explore ablation. Really felt sick on digoxin. Although don't feel generally great this was really not a good experience.

Puzzling Tachycardia
Hi Everybody, I hope someone in this lovely community will be able to help me understand my puzzling tachycardia. Just to give you some background. I have been diagnosed with paroxysmal AFIB little over five years ago. I have been on Amiodarone (100 mg) for the past four years. Amiodarone helps, but
