Cinetidine & Loratadine ect
I’ve noticed I don’t seem to have night sweats or certain other issues (feverish ache sensation) with my CLL when I take Claritin(Loratadine). Is that just me? I did some basic research and found that several drugs in this class including Tagamet are being researched as beneficial for cancer. Anyone

Heart Palpitations since age 9.
I have had heart palpitations since age 9. Episodes of skipped beats and rapid heart beats on occasion that last from 5 minutes to 1 hour. Had all the tests: EKG, holter, Echo. I am 70 years old and the bottom line is that I am in extremely good shape(as per the cardiologist). No other symptoms. These

Update
I diagnosed with Flutter end of June 22 after a couple of trips to A&E. prescribed Edoxaban 30mg with Bisosporol 2.5 daily reduced to 1.25 mg daily as I already have low BP. Episodes of possible Flutter are happening at least once a week. I do have etopics apparently and one ECG showed narrow tachycardia

Unusual AF episode
I went out to post a letter this afternoon and was out for about 15 minutes. On my return I experienced what I thought were ectopics with some very mild chest discomfort. I took a 1lead Kardia to check and was surprised to see the "Atrial Fibrillation" indication with a heart rate of 93bpm. The AF

weird Kardia ecg
went into af just before midnight, but was dozing on and off and thought it would be gone by morning. Well it hasn’t, so I have just used my single lead Kardia and the ecg shows like this! I have never had it like this, only erratic rate with pretty smooth bits in between, if that makes sense. I am

Palpitations and Covid , Betablocker Update
I just wanted to update my experiences from earlier this year-please see previous posts. I started with a virus-possibly Covid-then followed worrying palpitations/SOB/light headedness. Lat flow taken 10 days after the virus started showed negative, but could have been too late to be accurate. The virus

A and E Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh.
Woke up at 5 am Sunday morning with severe pain under right shoulder blade which remained all day despite maxing out on paracetamol. In the evening I dug out some codeine tablets I had for sciatica last year and added those with similarly little improvement. Monday was more of the same except by now

I am confused! Ectopic beats v Atrial fibrilation?
My husband's GP felt his pulse and said he had Atrial Fibrilation and must go on blood thinners. He didn't suggest an ecg or any further tests. Surely this is rather highhanded? It could be just "ectopics"?

Labile BP
I have been on meds for high BP for about 20yrs. Then suddenly 18mths ago my BP started to fluctuate, I.e. AM before getting out of bed was 169/100 and then by 10AM could be as low as 75/50. This didn’t last for long, but obviously felt very dizzy, light headed, sick etc. I would sit down and wait for
