Hello again. Questions with AF medications
Hi. Need to ask this question on current medications. Furosemide (water pill) 40 mg. once per day. Metoprolol (heart pill) 75 mg. twice a day. And Xarelto (blood thinner) 20 mg. once per day. Has anyone experienced any type of anxiety while on these types of AF medications? I occasionally suffer

PMR Heavy Legs / Lead Legs / Low Energy
Hello, I haven't posted in a long time. I've read many articles. I didn't know what DSNS was until I went to the FAQ's and then tapering plans page. Both PMRpro and DorsetLady, and others have tapering plans (thank you PMRpro & DorsetLady). I have bounced around 15 to 5 MG for the past year. I'm currently

Blood test help required
Hi all! Please could anyone advise me on my blood tests which were done as my hair is shedding like crazy. I have an underactive thyroid and about 8 weeks ago my GP increased my thyroxine to 200mcg as my TSH was 6 (she didn’t test anything else). Since the shedding has continued and I feel really tired

How high must the PSA levels be before cancer can be seen in a CT scan?
Following the end of my treatment (radiation, lupron, Zytiga, prednisone) with curative intent back in May, my PSA has risen from undetectable to 0.09. As discussed on another thread this is not alarming at this stage since I still have a prostate as I never had surgery to remove it. However I am

Creatinine and LDH
I have hashimoto's and I have been seeing a functional medicine doctor because my endocrinologist was not helping. He recently ran a bunch of labs. Both my creatinine and LDH were lab low. Does anyone know what that would mean and if is connected with my thyroid in any way?

AF is back after lung cancer operation
I had a successful ablation over 4 years ago and stayed in sinus rhythm until this week. I had an operation 2 weeks ago and this week my Apple Watch detected AF. This has been confirmed by GP. Bisoprolol is increased from 5mg to 7.5 to try to reduce the heart rate. Starting that today. I was warned

Home testing machines
I am new to this group and I have family with afib, I have panic and anxiety with rapid heartbeat but was trying to rule out heart issues. I bought a kardiamobile ekg machine and tried it about 10 times and always got unclassified. My husband tried it and he got normal so it didnt appear to be interference

previous question
Someone recently asked me about taking Urso after my transplant and the return of the disease for me. I can't find the post but I wanted to answer. I have taken Urso since I was 35 years old. I am now 73. I have had no real problems with it all these years luckily. About 25% of those who have a liver

Liver Transplant - Lest we forget
When a person embarks on a liver journey, there are many people involved in their treatment over possibly many years. There are a multitude of medical professionals who become involved. These may range from the gastroenterologist who in turn refers their patient to a hepatologist. All the imagery people

PIP when on oxygen 24/7
What a shocking past week! I've had COPD ( emphysema ) for several years but over the course of the last few weeks I've experienced a rapid decline in my breathing to the degree I could only walk a few metres before being totally out of breath. On Wednesday I attended a routine appointment at Sevenoaks

Thyroid antibodies test
My daughter had a thyroid antibodies test in May which was quite high. The hospital referred her back to our GP to be monitored for underactive thyroid. I have seen some posts that say antibodies test is a sign of Hashimoto's or Graves disease so I am just looking for some advice and guidance as I

Post ablation (1 week) and back in AFib. How often is this likely to happen over next few weeks?
Have had PAF for a few years and this year episodes became lengthier and more frequent, the latest lasting 4 weeks. Had a Cryo-ablation last Tuesday at Lancashire Cardiac Centre and was ok for a week, albeit with a few spells of ectopic beats and a very short run of AF (30-40 seconds only). Went on
