Do you know your pulse?
Your heartbeat is the most fundamental rhythm in your life, signalling the regular pumping of your heart as it propels blood carrying oxygen and nutrients to the rest of your body. We take the regular beating completely for granted, never giving it a second thought until the elegant control process

When to call doctor
Hi all. I was diagnosed with afib last July. I had a cardioversion and was prescribed Eliqiuis and propofenone (a heart rhythm regulator). I had no problems until I drank a little too much wine at a wedding . Now, my heart rate is somewhat erratic and can jump to 160 periodically. It has been like

No symptoms but.....?
I was diagnosed with afib about three years ago but with absolutely no symptoms and had an arthritis operation shortly afterwards which went very easily. I now have very slight breathlessness if I go up a steep hill and I do feel a bit tired in the middle of the afternoon but at 73 I'm thinking that's

My GP to do annual AF tests to detect asymptomatic patients
I've just had a letter from my local surgery saying following my suggestion they will now take the pulse of people who attend for annual exams (blood pressure, diabetes etc) to see if they are asymptomatic AF sufferers. A positive result to then be referred for ECG etc. A small victory.

Bisoprolol
Hi Just wondering about my dosage of Bisoprol. When I read related posts on here, most people seem to be on a maximum of 5mg. I’m on 12.5 which I take at night. At my most recent appointment with my cardiologist in March, I asked if it could be reduced as I get so tired on an afternoon and I often have

IBS and chest pain
I have just come out of hospital having been admitted with severe chest pain and pain radiating down my arm. The symptoms all appeared to be a heart attack but my troponin levels came back negative. Drs now think it was oesophageal spasm following an IBS flare up which traveled up my oesophagus causing

Abnormal ECG
So the arrhythmia team contacted me yesterday to discuss the result of my ECG done at my local surgery . Apparently although the test showed an an abnormal pattern with wide QRS it was a minimal deviation and not any form of AF . It could be an age related change but my sinus rhythm was normal and the

Ramipril
Briefly, I was prescribed this by my consultant to help with the pumping function/blood flow through my left ventricle. It has definitely helped as shown by a follow echocardiogram, and my consultant pleased. However, I was warned by my GP that it might give me a cough.. and it most certainly has!

Increased thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) as a possible risk factor for atherosclerosis in subclinical hypothyroidism.
Have to admit, it is quite hard to read and I have not managed the entirety yet! But it does appear to read that even subclinical hypothyroidism might be important in itself - due to the increased TSH. [i]
