Anticoagulant switching
There have been a few post recently about pressure to switch from apixaban to other anticoagulants. I’ve been on apixaban for a number of years now and so far not been asked to change. However my 92 year old father in law, who has chronic kidney problems, has just been given edoxaban instead of his

Pain relief
Hello, I wondered if anyone has found anything that helps with the fibro pain that is not tablet related. I really struggle with tablets always have my gp is aware of my struggles. However, I did try several tablets and found they did not help with mh pain levels. I have tired the pain gel 😩 also found

angiogram
Has anyone had to stop their apixaban for an angiogram. I understand because of bleeding, but when I went to have my pre op assessment the nurse didn’t know. She "thought" I had to stop the apixaban for 2 days prior and take aspirin 75 instead. I have tried to get on to the hospital, but always answerphone

Error with meds
Hi. I forgot to take my meds yesterday morning. Didn't realise until I felt strange and was about to take my evening meds at 10.30pm. So I took morning meds. I now need to take meds again in order to bring back to morning dose over two days. I am fine taking flecainide and blood thinner since I take

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,

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

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

8 MONTH waiting times…
I saw a pain clinic consultant two months ago and he referred me for
nerve
block
injections in my abdominal wall and groin… after speaking with pain management yesterday, they advised me to follow up on the appointment as I haven’t had anything yet.

Something Seems Off With my Smartwatch Heart rate Readings
I was given an IPhone Smart Watch for Christmas, but just started using it, the past couple of months. My question is with the accuracy of the heart rate readings. I usually wait at least 1 & 1/2 hours, after taking my Cartia, before I start a brisk 35-60 min. walk. Sometimes, my heart rate will register

Atrial Tachycardia
After two temporarily successful cardioversions (6 months af free each time) I had an ablation in May and all seemed to be going well. I remained happily in sinus rhythm for over three months until suddenly, out of the blue, my heart rate and blood pressure rocketed and I ended up in the Resus Department

Therapulse still working!
As I wrote a month or so ago, Therapulse on each calf is really helping my RLS. I have never used prescribed meds but have tried CBD oil, Gummies etc.. The electronic pulses have really made a huge difference and I use it most evenings for about 15 mins for each leg. Doesn't stop RLS immediately but

Can anyone relate to strange pulsing like a tens machine
Quick back story, as I had a PET CT on Thursday I was trying to reduce the pred quite radically in the hope it would give a better picture of my inflammation, and so as soon as it was done, I took a bigger dose and have done for the last few days. Symptoms radically better but still not great, I would

Thank you for your replies
just recently I posted about my need to pee just after I’ve been and how awful it is. Well thanks to the experiences of those who replied I had lots of questions for my GP. I now have medication for a OAB. Also a ultrasound being sorted out. A referral for the tens machine. Apparently I have to
