Experiences with

Contraception

Can anyone with hashimotos advise me on which contraception works for them??

Hello everyone. I am looking for some advice and experiences on Dienogest / Zalkya. Diagnosed in 2022 via lap by general gynae and never prescribed anything. Own GP has tried me on contraceptives & meds for pain management, which nearly tipped me over the edge. After a scare with my mental health,

Hello, About 8/9 years ago I was told I had PCOS, just one ovary, it never massively effected me maybe only with weight gain, and some irregular periods, mostly just a longer cycle of around 35 days. I eventually went on the pill, which regulated my periods, and then coming off them I was still very

Hi everyone, my mum who I’ve written about a lot here (80, restless legs along growth a whole host of other issues ) has perked up no end since getting her on electrolytes. I’m delighted as it feels like I’ve got my mum back. Now she’s a little stronger, I feel like we could start to finally cut down

Long history of pvcs, afib and flutter. After multiple unsuccessful ablations, my EP gave me one choice, live with your arrhythmia and have an AV nodal ablation. Fortunately, I was introduced to Dr. Natale via website for pacemaker patients, an EP with prestigious credentials who practices out of St.

Hi I've posted a couple of times about coming off propranolol. I'm down to 15mg per day (3 x 5mg) from 80mg. I've been 'ok' so far but today my heart started fluttering and my apple watch said it was 137 bpm (I was sitting on the sofa). It came down quickly after about 30 seconds but it has frightened

Hi everyone Any advice would be gratefully received. I'm currently on Propranolol. Was given it 2 years ago for anxiety. I was initially on 80mg Slow release. Over the past 2 years my PVCs have become unbearable (these have without a doubt gotten so much worse on propranolol, I was hardly having

I was initially very wary of AI because of some clanging errors I found (a pound of lead was heavier than a pound of feathers!), particularly when trying to get it to provide source data on some of the medical questions it had answered. It often actually invented citations, or quoted citations which

Hi Everyone, Been in sinus rhythm since Jan 22 from cardioversion due to PAFIB. However since July I have been experiencing ectopic beats. An ecg showed that I have PVC and LVH both usually innocent. But I am experiencing the extopic beats most of the day every day. I had a holter monitor last month

Hi everyone I wonder if anyone could help me as I'm freaking out a little. Brief history, I've had a lot of ectopic beats and fast heart rate over the past few years that has been attributed to periomenopause (and anxiety). I'm on 80mg slow release propranolol and have been on this for a few years

I would never consider driving or learning without consulting Drs about my personal symptoms first, but I'm wondering if anyone else is willing to share their experiences? Was it possible? Did you have to have treatment first? I have PVCs and PACs, and I'm anxious that I may have NSVT as sometimes they

I've always 'suffered' with periods that are heavier or more painful than my peers since the age of 11. Now at 33, they have been noticeable worse for around the last 3/4 years. I've experienced: -Terrible period pains, scaling from typical 'bad' pains to extreme where I'm in excruciating pain (doubled

I've just had the results of my tests (holter, ecg, echocardiogram), all came back clear. My daily PVCs have been either under control or just not noticable for the most part with lifestyle changes (more exercise, less caffeine). But last night while resting (reading in bed) I had a sudden, painful PVC

Recovery from PFA was much easier than previous methods.. Still in normal sinus rhythm at the 6 month point., No wobbles but very occasional PVCs for a few seconds. Fitness better than before (nothing too taxing, walking, swimming & gentle pilates) consequently mentally in a much better place! Thanks

I have had a Wellue ECG device for a few days -- the kind that can record heartbeats for up to 24 hours. When I review one of these recordings, I can immediately see the ECG tracings. The file with these tracings can be hundreds of screens long, one screen per minute of recording time. You can advance

hi everyone, Thank you for always being such a supportive community. I have been going through IVF because of unexplained fertility, mainly I just don’t get my period. I am an avid runner but not underweight. It seems my estrogen is always on the low side and I just don’t have cycles or ovulate. I

After over 6 months of persistant Afib, cardioversion that worked for a week, two cancelled ablations, I had my first ablation 10 days ago at Nottingham City Hospital trent Cardiac Unit. The staff were brilliant, very impressed with the care, skill and support given by the surgeon, anaesthetist and the

So, shortening a long story, AFib from age 40, successful ablation (PVI + flutter + mitral line) at age 48, 15 good years then an aortic dissection at age 63, the long OHS surgery for which put me back in Fib. Sinus for 5-1/2 years on Amiodarone but it was slowly weakening me, plus bad ectos. After

My last (3rd) ablation was 5 years ago, which went really well. Afib has been pretty much under control. I have only had one electrocardioversion about 1 1/2 years ago. About 3 1/2 years ago I developed an auto immune disease, Giant Cell Arteritis, then Covid pretty bad. It’s been rough but my heart
