Experiences with

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)

I gave up smoking about 4 months ago. I had been on nicotine gum. But was noticing a lot of palpitations. They seemed to be getting worse. And every day I’ve been getting them. I went Drs and she arranged ECG. And in Dec a 24 hr ecg thing. I deliberately stopped nicotine gum one day ago. All I’m taking

Just over a month ago I had a MI. The Heart Attack came on very suddenly, all the classic symptoms, band around chest, numb left arm, pain in my jaw. I was sitting down drinking a cup of tea at the time, so, finished my brew, popped aspirin and drove myself to hospital. - Why didn't I call 999? A week

I was only diagnosed a week ago, after a weekend of being in AFib, went to the ER. Confirmed. It's been non stop ever since. I am now on Xarelto and Metoprolol 50 x2 a day. NO relief. Most of my ECG readings show heart rate around 130-140. BP mostly ok--a bit high, but not awful. I find myself

The latest edition of the journal Blood has two articles that highlight the issue of cardiotoxicity in patients treated with acalabrutinib. The cardiotoxicity of ibrutinib has been well recorded but the situation with the newer BTK inhibitor, acalabrutinib, has been less clear. In the first article

Following my syncope at the wheel on 28 Dec last year I have not been driving. Having had numerous tests and a more recent ecg, i am still awaiting further advice and a way forward. More recently my ectopic beats and pauses appear to becoming more frequent and I have developed mild angina (so I am

Today (9DP5DT), I have a hCG of 121.7 and a scan booked in for 5 weeks and 4 days on 21st June. Spanish clinic oddly don’t want to do another hCG as say numbers fine and will see me for scan in 11 days. I’m going with it. Thanks for all your lovely messages! Still not really sunk in… Is 121.7 good?

During and episode of AF I suffered a mini stroke(Tia)I've had 3 oblations and been relatively free from symptoms for a while but recently developed lots of palpitations which is slightly worrying I've made contact with my

I have been diagnosed with AF and have a pace maker. Recently i have found it uncomfortable to put pressure on center of back and it brings on palpitations and short breath and an irregular rythm.I have an emay portable ECG . I could send a printout.

Recently had 4 stents (10 Weeks) put into my heart . Quite fit person prior , non smoker and drinker. Following rehab, medicine and diet as suggested.Now even at 10 Weeks I am getting chest discomfort, which I thought will go away in 6-8 weeks thinking it was stretch pain. It pops up suddenly across

I just got bloodwork done and my hcg is at 6,000 (rounded down) and my progesterone at 26; however, my progesterone six days ago was 37. I do t have anymore bloodwork and my first scan will be in two weeks. Should I be worried about this drop?

Hi All, I recently been experiencing pretty bad lightheaded, worse when sat down tbh, feeling of body vibration, chest heaviness and tightness, under rib pain , slight nauseas. It got so bad after a few day I informed GP who told me to go to A&E. A&E advised me after an ecg that my heart rate was low

hi Im 33 and had an ecg 2 weeks ago just as a check up from a result I got back from blucrest which indicated a slightly abnormal qrs shape. Anyway I have had a doctor look over my new one and he’s told me my ecg is good no problems but it looks like I have a vertical heart, however she’s told me there

Hi all, I just wanted to share my story as I've had so many thoughts and concerns rattling around my head these past couple of weeks that I don't know if I'm coming or going. I have had occasional heart palpitations since at least late spring, but didn't really think much of it until a month ago when

Hi all , just had my review with the EP . Quite short and sweet , I had sent him the latest EKG from my 6 lead Kardia mobile taken yesterday as requested and he seemed happy. I asked , as I’d not had the chance to before leaving hospital, what he’d found during the procedure. Apparently after my first

I’m also hoping it’s not left over hcg from my ovitrelle on 8th June. Does the ovitrelle stay in your system this long?

Please feel free to say if you think I am imaging a problem that isn't there, I actually think my Doctors think I'm nuts. About 3 years ago I went to see the Dr because I was not my usual self, constantly tired, miserable, losing my hair and brain fog. I was told I was depressed and to take Vitamin

We got the results from the bloods this morning and the beta hcg level is 15.8 and it says this is a “negative” pregnancy test. What I don’t understand is why the pee stick today is the strongest it’s been - there’s very clearly 2 pink lines.

hi. I’ve been fine for sometime with regards to AF and flutters. However, since being at ED on Sunday with chest pain, nausea, headache and a wheeze I was diagnosed with acute bronchitis. Bp was through the roof also (which always is when I’m unwell). I was given a course of steroids and antibiotics.

I started getting a very painful front of neck about 7 weeks ago that was affecting one side but now has spread to the other side. It's not particularly visable but feels swollen to touch. During this time I started with palpitations that seem to get worse during the night and affect my sleep. I have
