Possible Drug Induced Lupus and Thyroid meds ?
Thanks in advance to anyone who responds. I have been battling a horrible rash around the entire side of my body (itchy, painful ribs, blistering like bumps, and once it clears my skin looks bruised) rash has lingered now for 7 weeks …. First rash happened a couple of yrs ago and lasted only 3 weeks

Bisoprolol
Hello, The cardiologist has swapped my medication from Verapamil to Bisoprolol, 2.5mg/day. So far so good as far as side effects go 👍 but there is one thing. I can't seem to get warm since the swap. The temperature here in the north east has dropped since our couple of days of summer but it's more than

I have just been diagnosed with a fib, after years of suspecting something was amiss, but never having episodes when a doctor, and even a cardiologist, was seeing me. I bought a Kardia6L, which showed many afib episodes. I took that to my GP of 13 years, and he immediately swung into impressive action

Permanent AFib
Started on Digoxin .25 daily for past six days and cut Lopressor down to 25 twice a day. Am going to try to wean off. HR 80-110. Generally do not feel well and am going to revisit ablation. I had blurring of vision and dizziness on higher doses of Lopressor alone. Last cardioversion only lasted

Cholesterol and QRISK score
My GP has just completed my annual review and has referred me to the GP specialist Pharmacist to discuss statins. My cholesterol has always been well controlled with a reading of around 5 (I was told my good cholesterol was excellent). This year it has increased to 5.16 and he has also completed a QRISK

Has anyone here used magnesium or L arginine for atrial fibrillations? If yes, and you had good results, what were the dosages and how often daily? Thank you.

Not a PMR question but I’m hoping someone here can help. Sorry it’s a long post. I have been off pred for a couple of months and all is well, fingers crossed. I was offered, because I am now 70, a health check by the local surgery and asked for ESR and CRP to be checked too. They are good but my

Wellue 24 hr monitor
I've been using the wellue 24 hour monitor for about 6 months it's a very useful device as it is small and you just place it on the left below the collar bone with ECG sticky pads after the 24 hours you upload it to a program that you install on a laptop.I recently had a reading that includes short

Dealing with an AFib episode without meds.
I was diagnosed with Paroxysmal AFib by an Energency Dept Consultant who ordered certain tests to be done in the future and sent me home with Anticoagulants. I wasn’t given any advice on how to manage an AFib episode or a follow up consultation just a letter to say my test results were OK.A year later

Muscle wasting?
Is this a PD sign? It happens anyway with age so how do you know what the root problem is? A few days ago I finished a treadmill workout in our shed and as I was walking away my legs gave out. Suddenly I was on the ground. Ultimately I was able to get up and shuffle into the house. I posted

Worried about low heart rate now
Ok so I posted up before because was a bit anxious about my heart rate anyway. I have just started and only completed one run on last Tuesday. I felt so wiped out the days following that. I have a doctor's phone consultation on 30th which I originally booked just to get the ok to go ahead with C25K

changed time of taking Clopidogrel.
Since starting to take Clopidogrel at night, alongside Atorvastatin, I noticed an increase in ectopic/irregular heartbeats. I decided I had endured the anxiety associated with the symptoms long enough so am now taking Clopidogrel in the morning and my Atorvastatin in the evening. The result is…..a much

Positive results after five months
I hope it’s ok that I share my good news? I finally went to the hospital to a nephrologist - 6 months after realizing I had CKD stage 3.. my eGFR was about 50-53. No other symptoms.. My doctor showed me my test results that went way back - and they showed above normal creatinine and below normal eGFR
