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

self-inject intramuscular vitamin B12
Hi all,I often read these posts but not very often write in. I was diagnosed with PA in 2000 using the schillings test. I have been having IM injections every 3 months ever since. However since COVID I have been self injecting. My surgery does not really support that, so I just buy supplies from Germany

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

B12 deficiency and night sweats query
Hi - I don't have a diagnosis but I hope you don't mind if I pick your expert brains 🙏 I (Female, 45) have fairly regular blood tests due to medication I take for inflammatory arthritis. My MCV has been a little bit high for years (up to 102). Early on doctors would question it and because of a family

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

IVF - After a Miscarriage
Hi All I’ve had SLE since 2014, and I had a miscarriage in my first trimester in Jan 24. Since, I’ve been referred for IVF and in parallel I am trying to get a referral to a Lupus In Pregnancy clinic so both the fertility and lupus clinic that specialises in pregnancy can help build a plan for me.

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!
