Afib caused by low heart rate? Ectopics when exercising.
Good morning all,I've had some rather interesting observations over the last few weeks that I would like to share. As background, I had an ablation in July which helped me reduce my Flecainide dose from 2x100 to 2x50mg per day and reduced my Afib episodes to about once per week. My resting heart rate

rheumatoid arthritis
It’s been called arthritis but it’s not in joints but it’s a pain around my chest and back. X-ray and Ct scan have not reveal anything. GP says let’s try to control the pain first

Full circle with metastatic prostate cancer
I have gone full circle with my disease. Diagnosed at 52 in 2017 with PSA 100. 6 years later PSA is back to 100 with new spread of mets though out skeleton. I have done all the SOC treatments and changed diet. The cancer has found a way around it all. I have continued working through out but now I have

I’m one of the 20%
20% of autoimmune thyroid patients never have high thyroid antibodies and ultrasound scan of thyroid can get diagnosis. What would show up on the ultrasound scan to indicate hypothyroidism

Cough lozenges
I’ve got a tickly cough and want to suck a lozenge in the hope it will sooth it. I’ve got some Wilko lozenges that are Amylmetacresol. Does anyone know if they are ok to use with Warfarin and Bisoprolol - and of course Afib ! I can’t find this ingredient listed in drug interaction websites so I’m guessing

Cardiovascular issues
Anybody out there with extra-cranial GCA / LVV, have any cardiovascular issues? I was having some shortness of breath, sleepiness & lightheadedness. I'm in the middle of testing for that, but a CAT scan showed I have a dilated aortic root and pericardial effusion. Those explained my symptoms, but neither

First ever phlebitis diagnosis...a few questions
6 days ago, I had a tenderness to the side of my right calf. This has got better, but I have a different red patch, which is very tender, and you can see a line going round from the patch (which is just above my inner ankle) to the top of my foot. It's very painful to walk. So I got an urgent appt

Taking Rivaroxaban to prevent DVT.
I'm on Rivarixaban 10 mg. and Pitavastatin 2 mg. I feel very ok with Rivaroxaban. I don't to check the blood. I had Acute Pulmonary Embolism 4 years ago, and have to have this NOACs lifetime after D-dimer was very high again 2 years ago. Rivaroxaban doesn't cause side effects.

Test results confusing
My mum has had an underactive thyroid for years...alongside type 1 diabetes. She was told she wasn't having enough levothyroxine, so the doctor wanted her to put it up to 100, but she asked to go on 75, as she felt 100 would be too much. The doctor agreed. She had a blood test on the 7th December and

Decision making
I am having a hard time justifying doing anything about my Afib since I feel really good most of the time. Even in Afib I'm pretty good except for the worrying and checking of my heart rate every little bit. I have recently backed out of an RF ablation and a Cryo ablation for fear of a poor outcome

Chemo Vs ADT
So this is possibly the dumbest question I have asked. But the knowledge on this forum is worth tapping into even for people like me who struggle with all the complexities of PC. So, - ADT suppresses PC but will not kill it. Chemo on the other hand finds the PC cells and kills them. So why do

I was diagnosed with Paroxysmal after a year of episodes getting longer and longer . I had a cardio version Sept then a very mild Afib that was controlled with Metoprolol in November. I am overdue now according to my tracking since last Nov (every 4-10 weeks) and I finally got my date for ablation

Peginterferon and nightmares
Just wondering if anyone has experienced nightmares whilst take peginterferon alpha 2a. I have noticed some sleep disturbance and last week, my 8th injection, I was asked to increase dose to 90. My platelets had dropped since starting on 45 from 864 to 706 but still high. After my 2nd 90 dose I am experiencing

How can I support my brother?
My brother has advanced prostate cancer and has had surgery. New tests show it has metastasised in his hip. I want to be able to support him but also don't want to say the wrong thing or add to the stress he is already feeling. I would appreciate ANY advice ~ thank you so much.

How to find a MO Specializing in PCa
I just completed a clinical trial lasting two years. My PSA has slowly risen from 0.06 to 0.12 over the last 15 months or so. My medical team was surgical and now I'd like to move to monitoring with a qualified MO as my PSA moves upward. Where does one start to find an MO who's focused on PCa? The

Coming off Amiodarone
After developing Afib (thanks to Covid) I was put on amiodarone, bisoprolol and edoxaban. A terrible two to three weeks followed without a wink of sleep getting the amiodarone into my system. I had a cardioversion a few months later (delayed thanks to doctors and nurses strikes). That worked and I felt

PSMA PET Scan result - false positive bone lesion?
My fathers PSMA PET scan ( at 0,23 psa) came back! Its been 9 months after surgery and PSA is around 0,18-0,25 and fluctated down at times. Everything was clear but a suspected bone lesion at L3 was found. The dr seem to think its false positive and said its probably nothing. We should just monitore
