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

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.

Slowly Reducing Antiarrhythmic medications
I had an abalation just on 3 months ago. After the first month my EP advised I can start reducing my medication which is Flecainide and Dilitiazem and he did not need to see me anymore. I am now taking 50mg Flec. and was initially taking 100mg. By July I should be medication free. I have had some

GCA - kidney problem
Hi All warriors. Diagnosed with GCA July, 2023. Put on 60 mg now tapered down to l7mg (Dec. 2023). All symptoms under control at this time. My last blood work showed my Creatinine at 104 and GFR at 45. This showed a mild to moderate decrease in kidney function. As a result I had a kidney/bladder

Advice, please!
Over the past four months I’ve had a very painful knee. I have a doctor’s appointment next week. I suspect it is osteoarthritis (I’m 68). I’m also aware that other joints, particularly my shoulders, are also aching, especially when I get up in the mornings. I am taking 60 mg Lixiana, 1.25 mg Bisoprolol

calming a fibs
So, I am having a fibs right now 9:30 at night in the USA. Heart rate went up to 137, then down to 80s 90's jumping all around. Could feel it racing and I was short of breath. My question is this: WHAT CAN I DO TO CALM ALL THIS DOWN? HOW DO I STOP THE ANXIETY WHILE IT IS HAPPENING? I just drank

Heartburn from Digoxin
On Digoxin 2 plus weeks. Blood level fine. Am having constant heartburn/nausea. My Dr said not a usual side effect. Tough it out? or go back on Lopressor which had its own side effects. Many say it will get better. Permanent persistent afib.

Has anyone tried Inclisiran in place of Statins
My doctor is keen to reduce my cholesterol as it is 7.3 and I can't/wont take statins. I also have problems with palpitations so can't even raise my levo. I am a bit worried I am developing a heart condition too. I am just waiting for a blood test and xray before I go back to the doc who has suggested

Some good news
I was told on the fifth of December that my ultrasound scan had picked up three small suspicious lesions, and that what they saw was suggestive of cirrhosis, portal vein hypertension and varices. I immediately quit alcohol, eating cannabis and otc sleeping remedies. I radically changed my diet and began
