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

Coma or Vegetative state
Hi - My brother has been in an induced coma following a stroke for 3 weeks. Every time they try to wake him they say he gets “agitated”. Also, today his case manager told me he is able to open his eyes, but when they did the light in the eyes test, there was no reflex. What does that mean? Is he officially

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

Private Health care for second opinion
Has anyone used private health care for a second opinion? I’m 7 weeks post Fibroscan and still nothing in writing. I had a call from a hepatologist last week. He hadn’t seen the scan either but said based on my memory of it I have Cirrhosis. I want someone to give me a proper diagnosis. Bupa have agreed

PSA Follow up
Had an appointment with my urologist today. PSA is still 0.00. Obviously I’m thrilled. He said that since I’m 3 years out from RT and 4 years from RP, he’s comfortable with seeing me annually because my PSA has been stable at 0.00 for three years. I told him I thought I’d feel better waiting until

PSA raise
Hello once again. My father completed 6 courses of docetaxel chemotherapy (last one on 23/05/2023) and he is getting Zoladex injections every 3 months. Last PSA result was 0.89 (14/07/2023). But as he was getting better and the effects of chemotherapy (mainly neuropathy) were subsiding, the PSA test

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.

Folic acid and b12
Hi all, I’m new here. I have low B12 (390 -180-900), but have been tested for pernicious anaemia and the test came back clear. I have low folic acid (3.4 -3.00-17.00) and was perscribed folic acid 5mg. I just read that taking folic acid when low in b12 can cause neurological symptoms. I was tested

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

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

T'ai Chi & PD study
Tai chi may help slow down the symptoms of Parkinson's disease for several years, a Chinese study suggests. Those who practised the martial art twice a week had fewer complications and better quality of life than those who didn't, the researchers say. Parkinson's is a progressive brain disease which

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

Running in circles
I will try and make this the short version. My husband has advanced prostate cancer 4+5=9 (Gleason 9). One year ago it metastasized to the T9. He had radiation to the spot. In the meantime, he has had severe pain in the neck area. after scans, they said it was from an injury. (he has never had an injury

Chronic kidney disease
My recent GP-ordered blood tests have revealed chronic kidney disease. I have been told that an appointment will not be necessary. My creatine count is very high this time but B12 etc. are fine. Should I worry; everything online says this is serious.
