Aspirin vs apixaban and other blood thinners
Has anyone here with atrial fibrillation been prescribed aspirin rather than other blood thinners like apixaban? I would rather take aspirin but my cardiologist prefers apixaban. It seems like there is research that goes both ways. My GP rolls his eyes and says opinion changes from year to year. I

Potentially Heading Flarewards
Long post warning!!! After 4 years since diagnosis I thought I was starting to work towards the home straight. I have had 3 relatively PMR pain-free years with my issues being more anxiety or “other stuff” related. My tapering has been slowed down considerably by a couple of GCA concerns which thankfully

Made my decision about ablation and very interesting article
Firstly, to my surprise I have an ablation booked for April 9th. But.....after doing much reading and talking to my EP I think I am going to decline at this time. What made my mind up is the article I have attached below which I think some of you will find very interesting. It talks about the PVI and

Feel shaky after breakfast
6 weeks ago had 3 stents fitted due to heart attack. All seems well other than weird feelings after breakfast and even one evening. Sort of bubbly inside and the evening one I was shaky on my feet so immediately sat down and ate a sweet as I feared low blood sugar felt fine soon after. I take Metformin

Atorvastatin + Asprin
Evening all! Hope you are all well. I completed my first week of Statins and Asprin, and I have to say I feel awful. I am getting an array of side effects. I'm sure some of you had this but I wanted to know do these calm down as your body adjusts or is it wise to call my doctor Monday and ask for a

High platelets update….opinions please…..
Just a recap on my situation… 52 year old female under the care of a Haematologist for the last 2 years for platelets over 450. My latest platelet count is 486, the lowest it’s been since referral, prior to that 550-600. Negative for the three main genes. Gastroscopy and Colonoscopy all clear. Do have

Stopping PPI?
Hello everyone, I'm approaching a year post Nstemi with one stent and thus the end of ticagrelor hourray! What I am wondering is if I am then down to aspirin as the only blood thinner (plus ezetimibe and atorvastatin long term but hopefully not much longer on bisoprolol and ramipril ) do I still need

Hello everyone.....
Hey Everyone, I'm Ben and 32 years of age from Dorset. As of last Friday, my doctor has put me on statins to reduce my cholesterol level and also a daily low dose of Asprin. He said this was for prevention of HA and stroke, as I've never had one. I had Mild Diffuse Coronary artery disease diagnosed when

Daily Low dose Aspirin
hello, i am currently on low dose Aspirin and statins on the back of CVD diagnosis. Given the latest guidance by health bodies - is it still recommended to be taking daily Aspirin? Most studies have shown no significant benefit of taking it, hence the flip flopping by the medical councils globally.

Post ET MF - Advice Please
Hello, I am new here - really wish I had found you sooner. My Dad is usually a very active 77 year old. He found out he had ET aged 46 and was initially treated with aspirin. He then started taking Hydroxycarbamide, but he didn't tolerate it well so was switched to Anegrelide, which suited him well
