Af diagnosis.
Just a little advice. Been having episodes for around 10 years starting around 2 a year. Never knowing what it was I put it down to blood pressure when hunched forward or standing. Now know that's my trigger.Dizziness some palpitations for a around 8 hours or so then normal. Few gp visits with one 24

Don't blame it all on the prednisone! Check things out.👩🏻‍⚕️ or 👨🏻‍⚕️
I'm writing to add a soft warning to be mindful. I was diagnosed with GCA in 2019 and finally got down to single digits this summer, I'm taking 5 mg per day plus Actemra. I'm only dropping .5 mg every six weeks. It has been fairly smooth except the fatigue, I did nothing and was [i]so, so tired![/

Calcium needed or not…?
This is an open-end question, for which there might not be an answer. After diagnosis of PMR my Rheumy prescribed a DEXA scan. Showed mild Osteopenia. Was told to take 1,000 mg / day to help prevent degrading into Osteoporosis as taking Prednisone can progress that disease. So, started reading scientific

CAD I am soooo stressed right now, I posted yesterday after a A&E visit
I am so confused now I think the GP on call said it was micro coronary artery disease I have as my electrical pulses or whatever they are called were not working in the top and bottom of my heart I just googled I have a life expectancy of 6.5 more years. Can't cope anymore This was one of the ECGs

FND seizures
Hi, my daughter started to have seizures in September out of the blue, she’s 14 soon to be 15. She went to a&e who said bloods and ecg heart trace was all good and sent us in our way - being discharged during a seizure was the biggest let down yet! We were scared and unsupported. We had a neurologist

Fitbit for a fib?
hi all. My husband has had paroxysmal a fib for last 4 years and takes digoxin. We use the Kardia mobile with great success. I’m wondering whether to get him either a Fitbit or more expensive Apple Watch so he can keep an eye on how high his rate goes while out on his daily walk. I don’t think it’s

Possibly the best informational video on the electrical activity of the heart.
I wanted to share the best informational video on the electrical activity of the heart, that I have come across. It matches the path that the electrical signals take, through the chambers of the heart, to the ECG wave pattern. It also explains "heart block", which is when the normal electrical signaling
