Omron BP continually monitor reporting Atrial Fibrillation but ECG 'normal' anyone else experience this?
I recently invested in a top spec Omron Blood Pressure Monitor (I wanted the App function to track my BP as have been experiencing low BP and was reducing BP meds after 15 years, now been able to stop BP meds, hopefully this as a result of diet, weight and exercise changes not other potential conditions

The Magic Pill
A bit of background. Heart attack in April, stent fitted. TC 7.2, HDL 1.0, TG 1.3. I've refused statins and in 3 months I've dropped 2 stone, but I'm still a little overweight. TC 6.1, LDL 4.5, HDL 1.1, TG 1.1. I moved to a mediteranean diet which basically involved cutting out the bad stuff, because

Hi! I first wanted to thank everyone on this forum, for educating me on APS. I had two positive blood tests - B2Gp1 IgM - seven years ago and I was not medicated. My other APS antibodies were WNL. This June - I had an unexpected stroke - which is odd at age 51 with no heart issues. I was given an APS
