Just received the full copy of my blood test where I can see my TSI
My TSI is 1.20 (0.00 - 2.00) Does it mean that I ddi not have Graves and RAI is not right treatment for me? Thank you very much for your opinions.

DOES MEDICARE COVER DEXA SCANS FOR MEN WITH PROSTATE CANCER
I have been on Casodex and Eligard since June 2022. My PSA was still high after RALP so I had a GA-68 PSMA PET Scan done which revealed one 11mm tumor in the Left pelvic Lymph Nodes and one 7mm Tumor in the Right pelvic Lymph Nodes. Those were the only 2 hot spots in my body. My Dr. scheduled me for

Walking Munro's with an ICD
Hi, Last year I was given an ICD implant and wondering how far I can go with exercise. I have tried to get back running, but struggling a bit. My daughter and I used to walk the Munro's in Scotland, but not sure if the distance or altitude is something a bit too much of a challenge. Appreciate if anyone

Is this controlled?
I'm 53 with no heart disease and have been on daily flecanide (100mg x3 daily - I'm 6'6" and 16 stone hence the large dose) and 2.5mg of bisoporol. I get an AFib break through almost everyday, normally if I am late taking my flecanide. However the incidents are very low level - 80-90 bpm, mildly irregular

Stopping Sotalol suddenly
I had my first episode of AF last December and I think I have had one since which lasted a couple of hours but by the time I could get it checked I was back in sinus rhythm. Bisoprolol didn't suit me so I was put on 40mg Sotalol twice a day. However my blood pressure and heart rate is quite low so

Amiodarone
My EP is suggesting that I try amiodarone. My history is of 3 ablations, 2016, 2018, 2020. Last one finally touched up the scars that had “failed” - so the afib seems to be gone. But they couldn’t trigger my tachycardia during the ablation. And annoyingly, the tachycardia is much more frequent (daily

Eight and a half weeks post ablation
Thanks for all the well wishers after my cryo-ablation at Stoke. The first 3 days were fine with just a few palpitations. The next two weeks were a nightmare with 5 visits to Burton Queen's A & E with heart rates varying between 170 and 75. Increasing volumes of Bisoprolol and then Sotalol were prescribed

PVCs post cardioversion
Been in hospital since I left home after a cardioversion that put me in nsr but with multiple PVCs and going in and out of Afib which resulted in me being taken by ambulance with fluid overload on lungs and heart. Still in on a monitor and waiting on next move as don’t feel good like this. On dronederone

A question about angiogram/ablation
I have had AF for at least 15 years, controlled by bisoprolol and increasing doses of flecainide. For reasons not quite clear to me I'm now booked in for an angiogram. My GP followed it up and tells me it's because I said I'd think about an ablation. It's hard to know who said what when all appointments

Returning to Sinus with Exercise?
I was diagnosed with paroxysmal AFib in May 2021 which is being managed by meds (Flec + AC) and I continue to have intermittent episodes lasting between 1 day and 5 days. At the beginning of June this year, I was given permission to return to the gym. I'm 60, male, non-smoker, non-drinker, 68kg, 3

Hello: I was diagnosed with Afib in October 2021. The Dr had to do a cardioversion just to get it back into rhythm & was in the hospital for 30 hrs. Dr prescribed Eliquis & Amiodarone to keep it in rhythm & protect from blood clots. Had the ablation in February, had 3 months of Afib then everything

Anyone else hit 250bpm+ at rest in Afib?
I had a thought earlier while discussing some of my health issues with my husband - I've posted quite a lot on here, and discussed how my heart hits 200+bpm and I've even recorded it a few times ranging from 250-300bpm during my episodes and I have not seen anyone else post similar. I need to go to

Afib heat laser Ablation
Here's a quick back round. 61 years old. Have had Afib off and on for 25+ years. So after countless Cardioversions, numerous Homeopathic regimens and a try of SotaloI (which was the worst by the way). I always ended up back in Afib along with the terrible quality of life that goes with it within days

I think my first cardioversion failed
I'm new here. I was diagnosed with Afib Dec 2021 by my GP. I saw a Cardiologist in June 2022 and he recommended a cardioversion. I had a cardioversion done on late June it was successful after one shock. My heart rate went from high 90 to 50. But after a week my heart rate went back to 90. My thoughts

safe driving after having I C D
Twice in the last 10 months I have had AF one of 175 and the other of 197 both times a visit to A & E Now have a I C D plus a load of tablets. Have handed in my licence to DVLA. and have told to wait 6 months before re-applying for a new licence. I am worried that I may have another AF

Anxiety with Afib
Hi have had Afib episodes for 20 years, usually only for couple of hours, helped by metoprolol. I was in Resus overnight for thelast episode, had 3 different IV beta blockers, to no avail, and was finally given oral Flecainide, which worked after 40 minutes, and prevented cardioversion.. That was
