What is an ICM?
An Insertable Cardiac Monitor (ICM) is a small thin device that is inserted under the skin on your breastbone to record the activity of your heart. It can remain in place for up to 3 years. The device will capture and record 'episodes'. The recorded data will be collated and assessed and help to diagnose

Has anyone had medication changed from bisoprolol?
My previous posts were related to my mum and her anxiety. Mum has permanent AF. We ended up going private to see a consultant and mum had a monitor for a week to monitor her heart rate. The results did show that her heart rate was high - around 160 was the higher results. The consultant increased bisoprolol

Lupus Diagnosis
I haven't been online for some times, perhaps years. I don't think I have posted since losing my Mum in August 2021 and then I lost my Dad last year June. My health, not surprisingly, has been all over the place and under the following hospital departments: Lupus Rheumatology, General Rheumatology -

Mum update (CBD)
Thought I had finally better give you all an update on mum. Mum had a fall back in Feb which resulted in a broken nose and slight skull fracture, still mobile unaided at this point, but with falls risk. Admitted to hospital after 24 hours in A&E, finally getting a bed in a ward. Ward then had changed

PSA of <0.1 undetectable?
I am on ADT, lupron and Zytiga, at Kaiser Oakland. My latest PSA came back as <0.1. My MO sent me a message with the results: "congratulations, great news, your PSA is undetectable!" I thought undetectable was 0.01, is it more likely she misread the number or that the lab used by Kaiser only reports

Returning to Warfarin after 4 months on Edoxaban ...... part 2
I posted on here my original comments on this subject. Hopefully, this update, will be of interest. I made the decision to quit Edoxaban on 6 April. I didn't /couldn't be bothered to make contact with my GP, whenever I phone up for a chat I'm asked to make an appointment which usually is about 10 days

SPECT scan horror
I had a SPECT scan after first does of Pluvicto. I had no idea how horrible a scan could be. There are things that project out to get as close to you as possible. I have had many CT scans MRIs PET scans but this is different. I do have a bit of claustrophobia but never felt this horrible before. They

The ups and downs of our rollercoaster OC journeys
When I recovered from debulking earlier this year I gave myself a good talking to and vowed not to let myself go from blood check to blood check worrying about them. I was so pleased my first check showed bloods were normal so thought my plan was working but then prior to the 6 month check developed

Feeling overwhelmed
After a routine lung screening CT scan I was diagnosed with mild emphysema and some calcification of my heart arteries. I was also referred for a further high definition CT Scan to confirm bronchiectasis. My GP prescribed Salamol which did nothing to help the breathlessness and chest tightness I'd been

Update on heart problems
Thank you all for your input last week re my 2 leaky valves and pulmonary hypertension diagnosis. Forgot to mention also have very low heart beat, low 40s , of which I was already aware but thought that was healthy, however, bradycardia at my age is apparently not good.I did a lot of phoning around
