Hi. I was admitted to hospital last Friday with heart rate of 144 and told I have AF. Told without anticoagulants I was risking major stroke, heart attack or pulmonary embolism. Now on beta blocker, Warfarin and Fragmin. Worried 😟. Was working on day I was admitted and feeling very anxious. Don’t know

My Kardia has arrived.
Good morning - if you are in a similar time zone!My Kardia arrived yesterday morning so of course I took many readings to try it out. I also tried it on my husband to see if it was working properly and it appears to be fine. My own readings however are all over the shop, so I wondered if other people

Serum cortisol test results
Hello all, Further to my saliva cortisol test (link to post below), I requested a serum cortisol test at my GPs (8.45am, yesterday): Serum cortisol level 381 nmol/L >350 nmol/L makes adrenal insufficiency unlikely Is this in keeping with my less-than-optimal-and-occasionally-below-range saliva results

We all, myself included, have been exactly where you are right now…. scared, unsure, mad, sad, and so much more. Stop

When to do certain blood tests and why.
Just coming up on my 6 month anniversary of radiation and my 2 months prior to radiation and 4 months post Lupron while on radiation. So I have been off Lupron for 2 months. I had my annual physical yesterday and my GP had ordered complete blood panel with thyroid and PSA. There were no issues with blood

Biliary CirrhosisPrimary Biliary Cirrhosis – Condition and Symptoms The liver secretes bile, a bodily fluid that is essential for the body to digest fats. It also helps the body to rid itself of toxic substances, cholesterol, and worn-out red blood cells. The ducts that release bile can become damaged

intrinsic factor test
My GP agreed to do an intrinsic factor antibody test. The test he did was IgA and the results came back as within normal range.1.10gl normal range 0.8 to 4.0 . Was this the correct test for pernicious anemia? Thank you

The arrhythmia nurse wants me to reduce my bisoprolol dose after my cardioversion - fear of early relapse.
I had a 2nd successful cardioversion 5 days ago, and the arrhythmia nurse told me to reduce my dose of bisoprolol immediately from 7.5mg to 5mg as my heart rate was around 50bpm. However, unless I maintain NSR for 6 weeks after the cardioversion, they won't offer another one, so I'm reluctant to reduce

Scans other than PSMA for PC
My husband’s PSA continues to rise yet his PSMA scans are all clear. His last PSMA was late October with a PSA of 4.7 His PSA today was 6.5 It seems I have noted on this forum some other type scans should be done besides PSMA. His ALK PHOSPHATE is 85 (normal) Calcium levels all normal. Thanks

Putting on weight
I have under thyroid and have posted a few questions so sorry for another one. Do any if you find if you put on the slightest but of weight it triggers you to go more underactive? For example at Xmas like most people I put on a bit of weight then I feel I go underactive and then put on more weight.

I have Raynaud's, rashes, splinter hemorrages, tiredness, breathlessness on exertion, (ground glass opacities in lungs, waiting on a second CT) joint aches, mild gastro issues. Am I likely to have Lupus primarily, or some other autoimmune
