Eliquis
This may be a little long. On June 9, I went to the ER with shortness of breath, a CT scan showed multiple bilateral pulmonary embolisms. The doctor started me on heparin and did a procedure to break up the clots in the lungs (I forgot the name of the procedure) LOTS of blood work was done and the doctor

Eliquis
Good Afternoon,I didn't want to hijack Calypso' s post but I also have an enquiry re Eliquis. I recently bit the bullet and as advised by my Cardiologist have started taking Eliquis. I am on PIP - Flecainide and Metropolol. As time has gone on, it's taking longer for me to revert to sinus rhythm.

When to take PIP flecainide?
Unfortunately my paroxysmal AF has significantly worsened lately and I am awaiting an ablation. In the meantime my consultant has put me back on flecainide 50mg bi daily plus an additional up to 100mg as PIP if AF kicks in. I’m now in AF almost every week for a few hours. Before it starts I frequently

kidney blood test questions
I just had a routine blood test. I won’t be able to see the doctor for answers until Friday and I’m worried and scared. My eGFR numbers dropped from 95 to 44 in one year. My Creatinine numbers are high and my cholesterol numbers also shot way up. I have no symptoms. Has anyone else had such a change

My Wife had a recent AF episode
My Wife woke up early morning 1am when her heart went into AF (I knew the symptom as I have suffered in the past with this but unrelated to hers) After several hours later a trip to A&E was suggested by 111. NHS were totally brilliant and within two hour was given a cardioversion which put her back into

Coq10/Ubiquinol- is it ok or not ok to take ?
Dad takes coq10 as he also takes low dose statin since many years. I read someone on this Board write this on an earlier post - “I was advised not to take CQ10 since it helps the cancer cell recycle glutathione(GHS). Excess GSH promotes tumor progression, where elevated levels correlate with increased

Do you know your pulse?
Your heartbeat is the most fundamental rhythm in your life, signalling the regular pumping of your heart as it propels blood carrying oxygen and nutrients to the rest of your body. We take the regular beating completely for granted, never giving it a second thought until the elegant control process

Imperial College Help please
Hi, further to my last post - thank you all so much - my GP and Renal Consultant are in agreement that I see a rheumatologist as well as continuing to see my renal Consultant. A few people and Vasculitis UK recommended Imperial College as I believe they have a Vasculitis Centre there? I think I've had

No symptoms but.....?
I was diagnosed with afib about three years ago but with absolutely no symptoms and had an arthritis operation shortly afterwards which went very easily. I now have very slight breathlessness if I go up a steep hill and I do feel a bit tired in the middle of the afternoon but at 73 I'm thinking that's

My GP to do annual AF tests to detect asymptomatic patients
I've just had a letter from my local surgery saying following my suggestion they will now take the pulse of people who attend for annual exams (blood pressure, diabetes etc) to see if they are asymptomatic AF sufferers. A positive result to then be referred for ECG etc. A small victory.

Bisoprolol
Hi Just wondering about my dosage of Bisoprol. When I read related posts on here, most people seem to be on a maximum of 5mg. I’m on 12.5 which I take at night. At my most recent appointment with my cardiologist in March, I asked if it could be reduced as I get so tired on an afternoon and I often have
