Hello from a Newbie
I’ve had palpitations for years, however, the GP has never been able to trap them, in November I went for a routine ECG and was informed I was in AF, at long last it was trapped, I was so relieved as I was starting to think it was all imagined. I was sent to Ambulatory Care, another ECG, not in AF again

3 days since PVI: is this normal?
Hi Ive never posted before but have read the useful information shared by members so asking for advice and reassurance. I have Paroxymal AF and had a PVI cryo ablation on Monday. the first few days were as expected: bit breathless, missed beats, tired. I thought things were slowly improving until last

Update on 3rd vaccination
My 33 year old son had his 3rd vaccination cancelled due to lack of staff. It was rescheduled for this week but now he’s ill with covid so cannot have it. He’s not CEV but several family members are, my daughter in law with MS, my Dad with Non Hodgkinsons Lymphoma, my step Father after triple heart

Post AF ablation
Hello, My 65 year old father, who suffers from heart failure and AF, underwent his first AF ablation 3 days ago. Doctors didnt really tell us what to expect during the recovery period so seeing my dad struggle that much is very difficult for me. 3 days post op, he is still coughing a lot, has a headache

New, targeted therapy inhibits specific immune cells associated with lupus nephritis
'Intervention targets T cells rather than multiple immune cell types," Prof. Chaim Putterman says. Lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus), an autoimmune disease in which the body recognizes and attacks its own tissues, can affect many organs, including the kidneys. About fifty percent of patients diagnosed

SWOLLEN HAND
30 months past a heart bypass and 6 months past a pacemaker and in last month been waking up with swollen left hand and wrist. I do sleep on my left side and wear a watch. The swelling goes down during the day but is not usually gone before midnight. No swelling of ankles since about six months after

Lisinopril and Lipitor
I have high blood pressure and Afib. I had an MRI on my brain and the doctor found I have had a couple of strokes. Thankfully they made my left side numb, but nothing more. I take 20mg of lisinopril a day and 80mg of Lipitor. I am continually nauseated, and my leg muscles are weak. I feel off balance

Happy to be here!
With everything that's been going on with my lung disease over the past few years, I often forget just how fortunate I am to still be here. In September 2003 I was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia at the age of 18. I was totally blindsided and the future looked bleak. The amazing treatments

Did any kidney transplant people have high antibodies
Hello I’m on the transplant list I was hoping to get a transplant before dialysis but don’t know if it will happen . I had one offer that didn’t work out I found out then I am going to be hard to match cause I have high antibodies. I wasn’t even aware there was such a thing. How long did you wait before

Shaking
I received a kidney transplant in 2008. For the last few months I have been shaking a lot especially my hands. Taking 4 mg. of Prograf. Doctor increased it because level was low on blood test. Has anyone experienced this kind of shaking? Thanks

New Year, new lungs?
Entering 2022, I'm not disappointed to be waving goodbye to 2021. Covid ruled over us all in the early part of the year and then reared its ugly head again at the end of the year to add further anxiety and stress. However, for someone who up until March was having to shield, in reality it never really

Permanent AF?

I’m to stay on my meds, flecainide and bisoprolol and to go back if I get severe symptoms. They have said a resting heart rate of 130 is fine because I am haemodynamically stable. I am ( still
