Multaq aka Dronedarone, 400mg twice daily recommend by electrophysiologist (EP)
76 years old, on Metoprolol extended release (ER) 25 mg, Atorvastatin both once daily I was taking Metoprolol ER 100 mg once daily and feeling tired and lacking energy. I also have sleep apnea and epilepsy. My EP says Multaq is expensive but works well. I have also had a maze procedure. I am asymptomatic

Sick with COVID 6 months after full vaccination
My wife and I completed our first backpacking adventure of the Summer July 12 to 19 in Yosemite. While passing through Tuolumne Meadows we needed to visit their store to replace non-functional water purifiers. It was crowded with maskless hikers stocking up and enjoying burgers at their grill. Exposure

Incontinence Supplies
Well finally things have gotten much better in the incontinence department for me. it's taken over 3 months since surgery to get this far (still dribbling here and there but waaay better almost overnight (OK the last few weeks. ha!). I'm hoping that I won't be needing these supplies any longer. I

Apixaban
Hi! I’m new here.. I’m 34 years old and was diagnosed with Pulmonary Embolism in February this year and I’ve been on Apixaban for 3 months. And stopped Apixaban for a month. Doctor told me I’m at risk of having another episode of PE and it will likely in my lungs again. Now, I’m back on Apixaban today

Arthritis or hyper mobility?
Hi, I’m new to this and to be honest I’m not even sure if I’m in the right place but here goes. A little bit of background, I used to do a lot of judo when I was in my early 20’s and I used to work in a shop, lugging in deliveries etc. Did this for a lot of years and then got a second job in a Post

Potato with cheese tomato and onion pie.
Hi everyone, Here's what I made for dinner last night. First I cooked some potatoes in their skin before mashing and blind baking for approx 15 mins. Then I added a tin of tomatoes that I blended first Which I then covered in grated cheese with diced onions herbs and gluten free bread crumbs on top

Heart Issues but otherwise healthy
Hi all, I live in the Panhandle of Florida. I am fairly active even though I have an artificial heart valve and a pacemaker. I try to stay healthy by eating the right foods and limiting vitamin K to keep my INR stable but every now and then, I have a question about diet and INR results.

AV Node Ablation
80 years old in Sept and still plagued by afib. Pacemaker fitted in May 2021 and awaiting next step which I’m sure will be AV node ablation – last stop saloon! But is this the only option? The last ablation in 2013 lasted 5 years and possibly longer if severe Mitral regurgitation hadn’t triggered it.

It’s been seven hours and 49 days...
Been tough 7 weeks since calf injury with physio treatment and losing much of my hard earned fitness, more importantly slowing my recovery from heart surgery which was a key motivational factor for me doing this... This weekend picked myself up, dusted off trainers unsure on fitness levels tentatively
