NT-proBNP test shows over 1800 (2,255) Does it indicate heart failure?
Latest info: When I saw my doctor, having experienced some worry about this test, he was immediately aware that the high BNP level was directly attributable to my permanent AF.

Bisoprolol
Fatigued and VO2 level is very low. Could Bisoprolol be the cause and is it safe to come off it if it is. I take 1.25mg daily for Tachycardia.

Afib and heart failure
Does afib always lead to heart failure?I have just had a medication review with a specialist who works with our GP surgery and doctors. He claims that any afib present leads to heart failure between 1 and 20% in the early stages. This is frightening. My afib episodes are very symptomatic and come around

ibuprofen gel
Currently unable to contact a pharmacist or doctor. Does anyone know of a topical pain killer gel I can take whilst on anticoagulants? Apparently, ibuprofen gel is a no-no. Thanks Thanks everyone, pharmacist confirmed I can use Deep Heat, Heat Patches and or, paracetamol.

What should you expect from your GP after major heart surgery, shirt term and long term?
Apart from my initial call to request repeat warfarin prescription in which case I was told to go online, my GP has not acknowledged the last 2½ months of my urgent surgery. I am a congenital heart patient who had been trying to get cardio check ups in London every year to no avail. I had to take another

Changing from Adoxaban to Apixaban … what to expect?
Good morning forum. While waiting for a second cardioversion the medics have decided to change my anticoagulant from Adoxaban to Apixaban (the low dose Adoxaban I was on until this morning could be a bit borderline if I put on just a pound or two weight). A bit fed up as this delays the cardioversion

Side Effects from Metoprolol 25mg
I am taking Metoprolol 25mg halved twice a day for AFib and having side effects of almost passing out or a weird feeling of like I would be passing out which has happened twice now. I'm taking it with Eliquis. Is anyone else having this symptom?
