Experiences with

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)

Morning Just thought I’d provide an update on this post: https://healthunlocked.com/thyroiduk/posts/150910592/bank-holiday-fun-not I saw a GP on Wednesday after quite the chain of miscommunication—well, almost complete lack of communication. Most of my GPs have left so I’d never met this one. Quite

Prior to my ablation last October I had persistent Afib. Since then I have been in NSR. I have kept my iwatch monitor set to record “AF history” and it has consistently shown AF load to be 2% or under on the weekly notifications. Should I stay on this setting or should I now set it to show alerts the

Doctors appointment irregular heartbeat low pulse rate (40). Had ECG 2 days later Doctor rang to say it’s Not AF but referred me to hospital for 24 hour ECG any comments appreciated. Thank yoi

Hello everyone, It's 5:44 AM in California and the paramedics have just left. I called them as while lying in bed I felt nauseous, and stomach felt odd so I put my oximeter on my finger and watched it go down to 29 and then back up to baseline HR for me of 50 and it really freaked me out but I tried

Need advice. I’m concerned. I was diagnosed with PA (lack IF via blood test) a year and a half ago. I have been on daily Hydroxo injections since. I started at a high concentrated dose (I’m in US) of 5,000mcg day and dosed it down to 1,750mcg day. I maintained this dose for 6 plus months and still

Hi all, I'm new to the forum. I'm 49 years old, eat healthily, exercise often and in half decent shape.(for my age) In Jan '24 my wife had her head on my chest and commented that my heart sounded weird! Went to GP who diagnosed a heart murmur and sent me for Electrocardiogram, which came back normal

Getting through the winter isn’t isn’t easy, is it friends ? This one was a long one and once the spring is on its way my energy levels, enthusiasm and motivation get going and life opens up again. It didn’t happen this year though. Asthma COPD for 21 years….was it all getting to the body ? No energy

Update: I have gotten my blood hcg level and it was 27. Three days later, I repeated it and it was only 40. It has not doubled after 3 days. Nonethless, doctor asked me to continue progynova and crinone gel. I will go for a repeat blood hcg level in 2 days' time. I can only hope for the best.

I have twice in the past converted to persistent AF which has been sorted both times by cardioversion. However yesterday for the entire day my heart felt like it was having a disco. Ectopics, extra beats, early or skipped beats…..whatever! Should I be worried? I do have a bit of a chesty cough at the

Hi everyone - last weekend I posted that 10 days after my PFA I went back into AF. Sadly I am still there & now pretty terrified it has completely failed. The hospital did an ECG on Monday then called on Wednesday to say for me to restart the Amiodorone which was stopped after the ablation & they would

I was diagnosed with a ‘borderline ‘ dilation of 3.5cm earlier this year having had an echocardiogram because of heart fluttering symptoms. I also await the results of a 72hr ECG. As things stand, a consultant has written to me and requested I repeat the echo after 3 years. Has anyone else experienced

Hi, updating from my previous post re Ectopics and concerns about Bisoprolol lowering my HR to mid 50s I would like to share the following and would obviously be very grateful to hear about anyone else's experiences or opinionsTo summarise I had an AF whilst on Chemo 3 years ago and was immediately put

I’ve had a great 4 years since my AF diagnosis, able to live pretty normally in terms of my choice of exercise with 3 years AF free following my cardioversion and just a few increasing episodes of paroxysmal AF in the last year. Recently I felt that a triathlon bike/run training session set off my AF

Good morning 🌅. Had ECG Doctor Rang to say it’s not AF. Stop taking blood thinners ( only had 10 while test done ) And she referred me to hospital now for 24 ECG what happens next please. Thank you ( occasional ectopic beat picked up )

went to the docs this morning with my watch ECG results. It was showing an odd reading when not in AF and now been diagnosed with ectopic couplets too. 🤦‍♀️😫

It’s a saga but will make it as short as possible! I have paroxysmal AF, big nuisance but I don’t usually have fast episodes any more, take Apixaban anticoagulant so I put up with it. On Friday afternoon while quietly looking at a book an episode started. As usual pretty nasty for first two hours but

Well, I had a catheter Ablation in February and had a 7 day ECG last week to check how it went. I can say that gladly it was successful, done by Prof Richard Schilling and thanks very much for his skills and knowledge. Hoping to continue recovering in the months to come. I had an insurance funded treatment

Hi all Having a panic so thought I would see if anyone can give any advice or just generally calm me down abit. Had a heart scan last year that showed some mild thickening and the dr eventually agreed to refer me to a cardiologist, whom I’m seeing in August. A few weeks ago I had a few days of having

I have been taking this drug since October 23 after a failed CV last July and the only side effects seem to be sensitivity to sunlight and some sleep disturbance. All blood tests come back within normal levels. I noticed at the beginning of April that my HR was back to normal levels even with a resting

This was the narrative on my recent ecg for a paroxysmal AF flare which has just gone into a 10th continuous day, normally up to 3 days. Nobody seems too bothered, GP described it as well controlled, and it's certainly milder than usual. Just that I wasn't familiar with the title description and wonder
