ADT vs physical castration pros and cons
I understand that unlike a physical castration which cannot be undone , adt can be stopped. But if someone has to be on ADT for life or chooses to be on it for life for fear of a recurrence of the cancer coming back or growing if it never enters remission, does a physical castration offer benefits?

Am I in AFib ?
I live in Greece and was diagnosed with Afib in 2018. In 2020, without noticing AFib symptoms I had a repeat ECG stress test plus a radioactive scan of the heart and was told that there were no structural defects and that I was OK. Yesterday, I came across an Android App "Heart Reader 2" which, with

Just need to vent…
I received a letter from my long-term disability insurance provider. They were letting me know that due to the fact that I have a mental health diagnosis on the account they are limited to only paying me for the next two years. However the representative said that if I had a ‘real medical diagnosis’

Ablation number TWO - excitement all round!
Well, this has been an exciting few days!!!!!! Last Thursday I woke up in Afib for the third time in six weeks. Hubby got ready to drive me to my favourite large teaching hospital, but I felt so unwell he refused to take the risk of the hour long drive and instead called 999 who dispatched an ambulance

Is ablation ever successful?
Have become increasingly depressed and feel totally hopeless now . Diagnosed with afib in January . Have tried bisoprolol which made me feel like the living dead, flecanide which seemed to make afib worse and now on 160mg of verapmil a day but it's not controlling the afib . I now have episodes on and

Ectopic beats 18 months after Atrial Flutter ablation
Hi, hope you are all well. I have found a lot of great advice and reassurance from this group and have been thankful for all the information. My question is: I had a catheter ablation for Atrial Flutter in September 2019 and was given the all clear the first three months after the procedure. I was

Usual dilemma: Rate or Rhythm
Am 77 years old and diagnosed with paroxysmal AFIB last Feb, by chance. No symptoms. Now taking Bisoprolol 2,5 and Tritace 5 (for BP). Have no other health problems. The cardiologist has prescribed Flecanaide 200 but I am not taking it yet. Should I try Lifestyle changes first? Can I use Flecanaide

Atrial Flutter
After two ablations I have no AF, but have developed Atrial Flutter which is constant. My Cardiologist will install a duel chamber Pacemaker for control. I am on 2.5mg Bisoprolol and Apixaban which I seem to tolerate quite well. Has anyone on here had a pacemaker fitted for Atrial Flutter? Dave

Bisoprolol versus blood pressure and anxiety.
Is lowering a high blood pressure (was 145 /90) just an added bonus while taking bisoprolol to treat mild heart flutters and 1 occasion of AF. Virtually the next day after taking the 2.5mg tablet my BP has steadied arround the 135 /85 mark and stayed low for the following days. Also will the bisoprolol

Catheter Ablation in Australia and availability under public or private system only - and out of pocket costs?
I am a fit/active 56 yo male in Canberra Australia with persistent AFIB but succesfully on 200mg amiodarone daily that has me in NSR all the time no matter what I do or eat - I have no side effects being on amiodarone at all - but this is dangerous medication so long term - the meds are not a solution

Fibro, Buprenorphine Patches and CBD Oil
Is there anyone that can give me any good advice. Over a good many years I was on a cocktail of pain medications. In the last couple I have managed to take myself off the pills but still remain on the Buprenorphine patch and anti-depressants. Because of being unsure if the patch was actually working

Following up on alcohol and Afib
The following article was on Medscape and you most likely need to create a log in, but I thought it very interesting and a good update on the recent post about alcohol and Afib on this forum. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/950938 It's entitled: "Even One Drink Doubles Risk for Afib Within 4 Hours

How Long Does It Take For ‘Moderately Enlarged Left Atrium’ To Revert Back To Size?
Hi there, An echocardiogram showed I have a moderately enlarged left atrium that is causing my 24*7 AF. I am on amiodorone 200mg daily and no longer in AF; I feel great! Ive made lifestyle adjustments - 90% less alcohol, no endurance exercise, decaf coffee only and more sensible food choices. I will
