digoxin
Have been on Digoxin now for 6/12 and it has had a profound effect. Unable to take more modern drugs because I have Asthma. I am certainly much better than I was. I think it’s probably your hypotension drug causing your problems and have a consultation with your Gp.

"Failed" exercise stress test
I have AF, gradually worsening, with chest and throat pain during episodes. Cardiologist did an exercise stress test on Tuesday and stopped the test after 3 minutes. He told me I have ischaemic heart disease - which is a bit galling as I have never smoked and do not eat red meat, cheese, eggs etc. -

panicking!
Hi, My husband was diagnosed over 10 years ago with Prostate cancer with PSA 18 and Gleeson 4+3. He was never offered prostatectomy as they said there was a small metastases on the pelvis. So he had 2 weeks of radiation on his hip, and was then treated with 6 monthly injections of Decapeptyl, which

Bisoprolol
Hello, The cardiologist has swapped my medication from Verapamil to Bisoprolol, 2.5mg/day. So far so good as far as side effects go 👍 but there is one thing. I can't seem to get warm since the swap. The temperature here in the north east has dropped since our couple of days of summer but it's more than

PSA test at a different lab
I will be spending the winter in Florida. I have always had my PSA tested in Boston at the same medical facility for the last 7 years. In a perfect world I would travel back to Boston for a few day. Any feedback would be appreciated Thanks

Oximeters
I have just been diagnosed with a fib, after years of suspecting something was amiss, but never having episodes when a doctor, and even a cardiologist, was seeing me. I bought a Kardia6L, which showed many afib episodes. I took that to my GP of 13 years, and he immediately swung into impressive action

Started on Digoxin .25 daily for past six days and cut Lopressor down to 25 twice a day. Am going to try to wean off. HR 80-110. Generally do not feel well and am going to revisit ablation. I had blurring of vision and dizziness on higher doses of Lopressor alone. Last cardioversion only lasted

Rheumy Nurse?
I am puzzled. This site has many references to apparent support teams. I am delighted if that is general. For myself the only contact with the NHS I have is my GP. It is alleged that there is a very overdue appointment with a consultant. Maybe I shall be able to elicit information about some kind

PSA Rising and MRI Negative
My husband PSA has been rising after Prostatectomy. A recent PET Scan showed cancer cells in the Prostate bed, but the MRI didn't pick-up any disease. The Oncologist is checking labs, and will start my husband on HT.Question for the group. Why would PET scan pick-up cancer cells, and not the MRI?

Cholesterol and QRISK score
My GP has just completed my annual review and has referred me to the GP specialist Pharmacist to discuss statins. My cholesterol has always been well controlled with a reading of around 5 (I was told my good cholesterol was excellent). This year it has increased to 5.16 and he has also completed a QRISK
