Robotic surgery?
My mitral valve is deteriorating and surgery is in my future. I’m 72, in good health besides aFib and my valve. I’m interested in robotic surgery and if I would qualify. Curious what other folks experience is.

Adrenal cortex and DHEA supplementing
My recent saliva test showed low DHEA (91 - range 106-300) and low cortisol levels (Diurnal cortisol pattern is consistent with evolving (Phase 2) HPA axis (adrenal gland) dysfunction.) I passed an SST, but my endo didn’t seem interested in helping me further (too focused on supressed TSH) so I’d like

Study to help patients manage their underactive thyroid
Just saw this and thought both that it is interesting it is being done. And, secondly, wondered if any would be willing to take part. I've scan read the information about the study and it appears that there is no geographical limit (please reply to let me know if I am wrong!) - just that you need to

I am really unwell right now an loosing the will to carry on. Know I should seek some medical help but who do I go to for help?

I have an amazing ability to pick relevant podcasts while driving. Just had my blood work done in preparation of starting Pluvicto and not being able to choose wisely while driving I picked this podcast which i have heard before and have even advocated on this forum before. Dr Chetty is so brilliant

Tingly Legs
Been on 25mg levothyroxine for about 18 months due to Tsh being 3.0 and GP wanted it under 2.0 as trying to conceive. Never noticed any side affects. For about 4 weeks now I've had a tingling feeling in legs and feet and one hand which is carpal tunnel like. Bloods fine, b12 satisfactory and tsh is 1.9

PSA doubled 3 months after chemo - normal or a concern?
I don’t see Dr Dorff until next week, but had labs drawn today. I’m prepping any questions I might have for the appointment. My PSA has more than doubled in 3 months from 0.014 to 0.039. Testosterone at time of both tests was <7. At these low levels, is that doubling in 3 months a concern? I’m

flecainide question
Thank you everyone for the goodwill and empathy of this community. I’ve had two ablations (cryoablation, and RF). After a year living symptom free, AF episodes have recurred. However, following , two reversions to NSR via Flecainide and Bisoprolol as a ‘pill in the pocket’ intervention, it’s not

Advice please on paroxysmal afib
Hi all, I was diagnosed with lone AF in 2020. I think most of you are familiar with my story.My episodes (very symptomatic) were about every 4 months lasting up to 36 hours before reverting back to NSR. I have started to have them more frequently so went for an ablation which was scheduled for this week

Palpitations worse after ablation
Good evening everyone, I’m really struggling after my catheter ablation 10 days ago. The palpitations and ectopics I’m experiencing are awful. So different to the palpitations I was having before my ablation. They are very erratic. I have Dilated Cardiomyopathy and AVNRT. I know it’s early days

Elevated Cholesterol

Palpitations
Hi all. Just had a horrible weekend , fast irregular heart rate, lasted over 1 hour . Of course it had stopped by the time I was monitored, so they didn't really have any record . Spent 2 nights in EAU wired up , lots of ecgs bloods etc. They reassured me it wasn't a heart attack . The flutters continued

Pulsed Field Ablation underwhelming in trial
PFA has been the big hope in AF ablations. The results of a trial have however been underwhelming according to John Mandrola: https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/995898 In the trial of 600 patients with AF who were split evenly between PFA and conventional RF, PFA was non-inferior but not superior

INVOLVEMENT OPPORTUNITY - Research (UK)
One of the NIHR liver partnership research teams in the UK is working on a study to encourage patients with a diagnosis of liver disease to regularly attend for cancer screening. There are many things that make this difficult for people, particularly if they are homeless or vulnerable. The researchers

Blood clots in calf
Has anyone had issues with blood clots (superficial vein thrombosis) in their legs? In April I thought I’d just pulled a calf muscle but on the advice of my Pilates teacher (!) saw my GP who immediately prescribed blood-thinning medication and sent me off to the emergency hospital clinic the next
