I have a question.
Does anyone's rheumatologist order a CRP HS blood test? I heard of CRP, but not this one. Is it solely for heart disease, or something to do with other diseases too like Lupus?? Mine was high.

Diagnosing Arrhythmias
When the heart is beating normally, it is referred to as ‘sinus rhythm’. An extra beat (ectopic beat) can trigger a short circuit, and a fast heartbeat. It can travel down an extra pathway and up the normal conduction system. If this continues, palpitations can result. For more information, please download

Accept nothing question everything...with the proviso that you are well informed
Everything that I have been complaining about for 8 years has now been seen on MRI. The private MRI that I paid for last week. Some of the best money I have ever spent. Not only do I have 'florid' synovitis in my hands, I have widespread enhanced bone erosions in both hands and feet. I also have

Low red cell count but eat lots of red meat!
Hello again, just wanted to check this out with people as I do get quite tired in the afternoon and need to rest. Is this anaemia and so do I supplement with iron? Is there a good one for people with hashimotos?I have been told I have weak digestion and I feel I don't absorb things like iron very well

Can you have “attacks” when in persistent/constant afib?
If you are in persistent/constant bradycardic (40-60ish bpm) afib can you still have “attacks” of afib? Sort of ad-hoc exasperation of say breathlessness, chest pressure etc. I’m not even sure that question makes any sense… we are still trying to sort out what are “afib symptoms” and what isn’t after

The Idea of White Coat Syndrome led to me having many mini strokes.
"White coat syndrome, or white coat hypertension, is the term for when you get a high blood pressure reading in a doctor's office and a normal reading at home. The anxiety of being around doctors in white coats can make your blood pressure rise. Most people don't need treatment if their blood pressure

Persistent AF
Hi all,I have recently gone back In to AF and just seen my cardiologist after having an echo and 24 hour monitor. The echo has shown the hearts looks OK with a good EF and moderate dilation of left atrium, the monitor showed my HR anywhere between low 70's and mid 120's with an average of 94! The cardiologist

Compression socks for travel
Hello, wondering if anyone has a good experience with compression socks for long haul travel? I do experience some feet swelling these days during the day which usually goes away with elevation for a brief period of time. I have flights coming up in the 7 to 14 hour range so am thinking that apart

Cardioversion of Atrial Fibrillation (AF)
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common rhythm disturbance of the heart which may cause rapid irregular palpitations, chest pain, breathlessness or fatigue. Sometimes it is hardly noticed by the patient. In such cases it is often picked up by routine examination of the pulse listening to the heart or recording

PSA Bounce After Radiation Therapy
I am trying to understand PSA bounce or change in PSA levels after RT and have found two studies useful. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7465291/ https://www.nature.com/articles/s41391-021-00387-4 Some analysts distinguish between PSA bounce and biological recurrence, and see a possibility

Question about support stockings
Hello. It's been a while with posting. I have been wearing support stockings since last November after arriving home from the hospital, for almost 10 months now, they have always been a struggle, and it's a bit tough to wear shorts with these knee-high's, I usually wear long pants outside to hide them

Thyroid Scan
20% of autoimmune thyroid patients never have high thyroid antibodies and ultrasound scan of thyroid can get diagnosis I’m curious to know what would show up on the scan to indicate autoimmune thyroid disease as opposed to it being caused by subacute thyroiditis.

What is post ablation normal heart rate
I had my ablation last week for a fib which I have been told was a success. I have felt very dizzy with occasional ectopics since but bp has been ok and heart rate between 72 and 78. Then today everything has changed. Lots of ectopics and resting heart rate between 95 and 98. Should I be worried?

high blood pressure
I’ve been in hospital all day today. Woke at 6am with racing heart and ectopics. Took my blood pressure and it was 196/95. I felt really scared and rang 111 and they told me to go into A&E within the hour, so we did. I was diagnosed with severe hypertension and after loads of tests, ECG’s etc, I was
