cardioversion and Flecainide
An update - I had my cardioversion privately a week ago - all good, so far….. I feel so much better. HR now around 55-60 instead of 90-100 ( on high dose drugs) I was immediately taken off Digoxin and told to continue the BB Nebivolol 10mg a day. Then started on Flecainide 100mg daily, with the BB.

I am so confused! I read on another site polyunsaturated fats are bad for people with hypothyroidism and saturated fats are recommended. I tend to follow the Mediterranean way of eating more for heart health and keep slim. This includes oily fish , avocados and nuts which are PUFAs. My GP wanted me

Slight ache near heart
I had abdominal surgery in November. They used inappropriate dressings despite being warned and I had very inflamed skin on the stomach area. This all triggered paraxsysmal af. I then had terrible burning/itcing all over the torso for which I was prescribed strong pills. I have had a bad yeast problem

PSA increase nearly one year after triplet therapy (mHSPC), what's next?
Hello everyone, thank you for all your help for a year. My dad went from a high of 3103 PSA to a nadir of 44. He unfortunately couldn't reach a <1 result but it had stabilized for a few months after his docetaxel + zytiga + prednisone. Unfortunately his new result is 67 PSA exactly a year since diagnosis

Poem on MS (from artificial intelligence)
I asked ChatGPT to write a poem about MS: Multiple sclerosis, a disease unknown A monster that lurks and leaves people alone It attacks the body and the mind Leaves its victims feeling confined It strikes without warning, no time to prepare Leaves us stranded and without a care It takes away

Do you know your pulse?
Your heartbeat is the most fundamental rhythm in your life, signalling the regular pumping of your heart as it propels blood carrying oxygen and nutrients to the rest of your body. We take the regular beating completely for granted, never giving it a second thought until the elegant control process

change of medication to Atenolol from Bisoprolol
I have been on Bisoprolol for a couple of weeks but I haven’t felt great. I felt tired and foggy most of the time, struggled to get my breath and my feet were freezing. I have spoken to the pharmacist at our surgery and he has changed my medication to Atenolol even though he said Bisoprolol was the preferred

Long term Steroids.
Many thanks for all your replies to my post.As I stated before, I am due to see my new Rheumatoid Consultant next week, so I'm very hopeful that she will help me on my journey and give me a suitable Rheumy drug that will suit me. I can then hopefully, slowly come off the Predisolone.

Persistent AF
Hello, for the past couple of years I have had paroxysmal AF which has taken increasingly long times to convert to NSR. The last few have been 22 hours and usually every couple of weeks or so. This time I was quite pleased as I went 22 days without, the longest interval for 18 months. However it's now
