How can I manage persistent AF
I am in UK and have had paroxysmal AF for a few years and was prescribed Flecainide and Bisoprolol but also had a Pacemaker fitted in July 2020 because of a low resting heart rate (normally 50 but loop recorder showed some drop to mid 30s overnight). Any periods of AF I’ve had up to now have been 5/

Change from Apaxiban to Edoxaban?
Surgery rang this Saturday(!) afternoon. Asked whether I would agree to switch from to Edoxaban. Over 4 years I have not had any side effects from Apixaban nor have tests revealed any problems. Has anyone made this switch? Also, the nurse said the advantage was that I would only take one pill, instead

IBS, seems to have gone after antibiotics for another condition.
Hello, I just thought it might be helpful to share my story here. If it even helps one person! I was diagnosed with IBS a couple of years ago after a couple of years of huge suffering. It was steadily getting worse recently to the point that I was literally crying, it felt like labour pains! I tried

Dental extraction.
My question is regarding dental extraction. At the end of this month, I am due to have four dental extractions: Two stumps (it’s a long story); the root of a crown which came off recently and where there is insufficient root left to re-join the crown; and a leaking abscess which appeared the day before

Costochronditis and Fibromyalgia
Does anyone suffer from the above? I had a stroke in Nov 2020 and despite some complications from this, recovery has been slow. In 2021 I started experencing severe and sharp chest pain and pain under my breast and radiating through to my shoulder blades. Having attended A&E on advice of the NHS doctor's

Pacemaker
I had a pace and ablate July 2021 which has gone well as back to my normal activity prior to being diagnosed with AF. However, the last six weeks has seen my arm and left hand swell with veins becoming pronounced by the pacemaker. Following tests, CT scan and Ultra scan, the first view was an ' apparent

Left Atrial Shunt
I have had AF for 9 years. I currently take Bisoprolol and Apixaban. I have had two ablations, neither of which stopped the AF. However the second ablation in 2019 left an Atrial septum defect I.e. a hole between the two atria which apparently causes a left atrial shunt. The arrhythmia nurse who I saw

Gp intervention
I have my AFib under control after being prescribed my meds by my heart consultant. I take Flecainide, Apixaban, & Propranolol which controls my a fib. However, I have just realised that my Gp has halved my propranolol dose without consultation! ( from 80 mg to 40 mg) I am due to have a medical review

Monster Returns
Without provocation (no triggers), I startled awake in Afib which turned into tachycardia and has continued for 48 hours now. So after a respite of nine months from my FOURTH ablation [& coming off flecainide (due to left bundle block), but still on metoprolol ER, amlodipine, and Xarelto], I’m beginning

non live shingles vaccine
I will be having my shingles vaccine soon (70 in May) - should I ask for non live vaccine - Shingrax? I take 6 mg of prednisolone a day - GP says live vaccine ok if on less than 7.5 mg but check with nurse - should I go private if GP won’t let offer non live vaccine?

Hi to you all and thank you for this forum as I’m learning so much from the chats 🌸 I was involved in a sleep study last year which was trialling larger doses of Lactobacillus to see if it helped the sleep hormones in the gut. Maybe I had the placebo 🤷♀️ as I didn’t find any difference. I received

Making plans to go forward?
Hi folks, this is my first post. I'm a year into my brain injury caused by encephalitis. This is the second injury, the first was 5 years ago and I recovered fairly quickly and fully. This second was a surprise to everyone, but apparently I probably have a rare disease that makes recurrent encephalitis
