High Blood Pressure meds with ET+Jak2
I’ve had ET+Jak2 for 9 years and have tolerated Hydroxy plus asprin quite well. I’ve always had low blood pressure but was diagnosed with high blood pressure a month ago and put on meds which have worked in bringing it down. The problem is I feel really tired on them and my ankles have swollen, a common

Ramipril
I'm on 10mg Ramipril and have been so for at least 15 years, maybe a bit longer. My GP has now asked me to cease taking it for 8 weeks. It was originally prescribed as a blood pressure control drug. It has done its job, up to a point ! In more recent years I have had added to the blood pressure mix Felodopine

QRS explanation
Hi just got a letter from cardiology.Anyone know what a QRS of 176 milisecond relates too? In permanent AFib so guessing it's something to do with the heart rate? Thanks

Atrial Fibrillation (AF) Drug information
Upon diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF) many individuals are prescribed medications that include antiarrhythmic medication(s). These help to restore the normal (sinus) heart rhythm. They work by blocking specific electrical conduction channels in the heart. Many can slow the activation of the heart

Edoxaban forever?
I've been on edoxaban and bisoprolol after permanent AF became part of my life in 2022. I had an ablation in April this year, but went back in AF soon after so had a cardioversion and amiodarone for two months. I'm still in NSR, feeling better but still tired and get breathless fairly easily.At my follow

b12 liver stores
Hi everyone, Just a quick question for those of us with PA. When we have b12 loading doses I have read this replenishes liver stores. Can anyone tell me does this b12 always successfully make it into the liver stores? I ask because my body does not reflect this. Loading doses did nothing to alleaviate

Effects of azithromycin on blood pressure
I have recently been prescribed azithromycin long term three times a week.

KardiaMobile ECG interpretation
I have had a KardiaMobile 2 lead device for about 4 years. In that time I have relied on the determination of Normal, Afib, Bradycardia, inconclusive and very occasionally PVCs along with my 30 second heartrate. However, I have not really paid much attention to the trace pattern. I have seen some somewhat

AFib getting better but not the symptoms?
About 9 weeks ago I went into AFib for the 4th time. I await a telephone consultation with Barts. The strange thing is my iWatch now says I’m mainly in Sinus rhythm. This has never happened before as each time I’ve needed an ablation. Seems like good news, however I still have the same old symptoms.

COGANS SYNDROME
There are around 500 cases of this in the world, so is extremely rare, which means diagnosis becomes even more difficult. CG as its referred to is a form of multi vessel vasculitis so symptons end up pretty broad. Why so few cases is a lot of researchers believe there a lot of undiagnosed cases out

Ultrasound/Biopsy show cirrhosis, but fibroscan score is 7.4
I’m somewhat perplexed… since my diagnosis I’ve been told I have cirrhosis, because of my biopsy and ultrasound results. A recent fibroscan score was 7.4, which is fibrosis. Although some parts of the fibroscan were as high as 8. Can someone explain this? My dr. was very vague in his explanation. Thank
