I am doing a slow taper of Pred 1 mg every 6 weeks and currently at 8 mgs and I have 2 months left on Actemra. I am always light headed and it

Switching meds
Granted a question for my GP but thought I would check here first instead of the busy phone calls I went from 10 Mg of Escatalopram because I thought it had run it’s course and was feeling fine but get a very heavy head and dizziness. I think it’s related to a chemical imbalance I have been on it for

Bisopropolol or something else
I was put on Bisopropolol 5 mg now reduced to 2.5 mgs and telesmartan for BP and Plavix for LB with Ejection fraction of 42 per cent so early stages of HF. I have been so light headed since I started these 3 and now after reading these posts I will bet it is the Bisopropolol.

Weird feeling 3 weeks after getting stents.
Hi! I am a 53 year old male. I am very active and play Table Tennis for couple of hours almost every day. I got a nuclear stress test that showed abnormality. This prompted my cardiologist for me to get a catheterization done. During Catheterization the doctor discovered 99.9% was blocked and the radial

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

Which brand of clopidogrel do you take?
My usual brand is Plavix as a named drug on my prescription but the pharmacy can’t get it now. So I need another brand. Can anyone tell me which other brand they would recommend please?

PFO, To close or not to close?
PV JAK2+, I’ve had an MI (4 years ago) and TIA (3 months ago) Docs thought the TIA was caused by a clot traveling through a PFO to my brain. Had two TEE (very invasive) and one TTE - believe it or not all with different results. Spoke with the interventional cardiologist today (by phone of course) -
