Anti-arrhythmic drugs after ablation
I have had 3 ablations. Ten months post third ablation, I tried to stop, cold turkey, Propafenone 300mg x 2. I lasted 6 days before going back into AF for 4 1/2 hours. Recently at one year and ten months, I tried to wean (not cold turkey this time) myself off now a lower dose, Propafenone 150 x 2

Statin or not??
I'm going to be 50 years old later this year(!) - I'm 5"10' and just under 10 stone (62kg). I gave up smoking 10 years ago and although I'm not an athlete I do keep quite active as I have 2 young kids. My diet is reasonably healthy - porridge every morning and recommended amounts of fruit and veg throughout

Not seeing dramatic improvement in numbers
I’ve been on blood pressure meds now for almost 3 weeks. During that time my meds have been tweaked 3x. Started off on Losartan 50mg, then Losartan 100mg and now Losartan 100mg HCTZ (a combo pill that includes a diuretic). I’m pleased that I don’t feel any side effects yet (hopefully won’t), and there

Teva ingredients in Ramipril 5mg for hypertension, anyone?
Does anyone take medication for hypertension? I was recently given Teva brand Ramipril and after a few days the symptoms I get when I used to have Teva levo, reared their ugly heads. I have tried to find the ingredients of the Teva Ramipril to see if it contains fillers the same as in the levothyroxine

Up-date re: BP Medication Journey
5th (and hopefully last) blood pressure medication! Losartan gave me a very nasty side effect, after just 2 days my lips and face were swollen looked like I’d had an overdose of Botox and fillers!! Rang GP told to stop immediately. After 2 days to clear it from my blood stream I’m now on Bendroflumethiazide

New paper showing relationship between TSH and lipid levels with TSH in the reference range
This paper links TSH and lipid levels. it indicates that as TSH rises, so this expression of potential problems increases also. It obviously has implications for those above 4.2 in TSH, ie subclinical hypothyroids from 4-10.

Fluctuations in blood pressure
Can anyone advise? I have been on 5mg Ramilpril for 5 weeks after initially being diagnosed with high blood pressure. The first couple of weeks it was still unstable. This week it is dropping daily and today it's 114/72 pulse 53. Being new to this, I wonder if it's too low considering l am 66? Also l

Thank you. Diabetes because of lung meds.
Thank you all so much for the response you gave me. I did not known that you could get diabetes through certain meds in particular my lung meds. They told me whilst in critical care in 2019 they were treating me with insulin because of the meds they were treating me with during my stay at CC. 1 year

Benefits whilst shielding.
Can anyone tell me how we are supposed to live with very little income. My partner has to shield due to having his transplant 2016. He started a small one man business in 2018 but had to isolate starting March 2020. Since then he has lost the business but gets no help as he wasn't trading long enough
