NT-proBNP Level query
Trying to line up a few questions for a Cardio call in December and cannot seem to find this bit out. My last Se N-term pro BNP conc result was 444 ng/L, is this the same as pg/mL? It came back as abnormal with normal given as 0-400, I`m 66, so could I have Heart failure as no one has said I have.

Anxiety disorder, let's start at the beginning.
Let's start at the beginning. Maybe you inherited a tendency towards high anxiety. Maybe not, maybe your nerves have just been over-sensitised by too much stress. Too much over work, disappointment, loss, grief, toxic relationships, worry about friends or family. Finally, your nervous system decides

Did I have a misdiagnosed heart attack?
I went to the ED a while back for flu-like symptoms and fever after a surgery. They admitted me due to elevated troponin levels (243) and tachycardia at rest (118bpm). I had an EKG, echo, and chest xray, but was only told they looked "fine". I was eventually discharged with the one word diagnosis "pericarditis

Palpitations at night
I had a third ablation nearly three weeks ago and am in sinus rhythm, but I'm having trouble sleeping because of an uncomfortable thumping heart when I go to bed, that keeps me awake for a while, though it's OK in the mornings. After the ablation my consultant told me to halve my Bisoprolol dose,

Is Viagra neuroprotective
A 2021 study suggests that sildenafil (Viagra, Revatio), which is used to treat erectile dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension, might also protect against Alzheimers disease: https://www.health.harvard.edu/

Any help?
I am pretty much at my wits end with insomnia. My Father recently passed away, and I have struggled with ànxiety for many years. I actually live in Thailand, and have been seeing a psychiatrist for years, and I have been prescribed 0.5 MG clonazepam 2 times a day, and 2mg clonazepam at night, but

Has anyone used a TENS machine to stimulate the Vagus nerve via the ear to reduce Afib?
I have Vagal Afib and recently started using a tens machine on my left ear twice daily for 15 minutes. Applied to the Concha in the ear and the ear lobe to complete the circuit. 20hZ at 200 microseconds, wetting the ear and contacts with some saliva to get a good connection. I discovered 2 months ago

Pain Management
Hi All, My husband's pain seems to be out of control. He says he hurts everywhere all the time, but mostly his whole right side, from his shoulder, arm, wrist all the way to his toes. He uses magnesium and heat, a tens machine as well as massage, CBD and acupuncture. But nothing really helps or lasts

Are Anticoagulants necessary?
I was diagnosed with PAF over two years ago following two episodes of fast AF which lasted for less than six hours. I was given IV Metoprolol in A&E and discharged on Bisoprolol 1.25mg daily. I have been well and active since but my cardiologist is keen for me to take anticoagulants as my CHADsVASc

ADT and heart mitral valve regurgitation.
I was diagnosed with (There is mild (1+)mitral valve regurgitation.) yesterday. Can this be caused by my ADT treatments? Is it reversible? I never had this before I started ADT. Thanks

Tavr procedure
any body got information on tavr procedure. I am having aortic valve replacement and due to high white cell count I can't have open heart surgery now. Hoping its sooner rather than later. Thanks everyone 😊

More decisions!!
Well I saw Dr Pepper yesterday and all much as expected. I've moved to persistent AF and a cardioversion would be pointless. I keep self converting the back to AF. Sob. So options are... Live with it as long as my rate comes down to the 80s, so will be trying Digoxin after my holiday in Norfolk.

Compression boots w/heat
Hello, So far the only the only things I have found to help my severe RLS is 15 mgs of methodone w/400 mgs of magnesium (long term fix about 24 hrs), hot baths with epsom salt (short term fix, maybe 30 mins.) Being how I do NOT want to be on methodone for ever. I am looking for other solutions.

when to reduce apixaban dosage?
I am being monitored for kidney deterioration on a regular basis because of taking 5mg x 2 daily Apixaban. My latest blood test showed they are deteriorating slowly and am now in stage 2. I am nearly 80, and under 7stone 9. I feel as if I am between a rock and a hard place. I really really don’t
