GCA, Afib, heart failure
I was concerned my Afib following a TIA Aug 23 wasn’t controlled. GP requested bloods for BNP plus CRP/ ESR which hadn’t been done since March. I have had bouts of fatigue which have up to now been linked to adrenals following a Syncathen test. The CRP came back as 15, ESR 14. Rheumatology helpline suggested

Is vitamin K2 ok with edoxaban?
I'm in the UK I'll keep it brief but I take edoxaban and bisoprolol for afib. I'm aware that historically Warfarin has a question mark over vitamin K1 for various reasons Some people seem to monitor using inr testing but my question is that more modern anti coagulants use a different mechanism of action

Since first experiencing Afib 4 years ago, I have been advised off and on to consider ablation. Many people seem to think that ablation cured or reduced their Afib, while others have reported disappointing ineffectiveness and complications. It is difficult to pin down statistical assessments because

A useful option-gastro resistant empty capsules
a post yesterday reminded me to tell you all that I’ve been taking my preds in gastro resistant empty capsules for a couple of months now. This means I can take them without food around midnight. But I have also taken them at 11pm ish and not noticed any difference. I asked a gp if I should still take

Dear All can anyone help. Diagnosed with stage 1V advanced metastatic prostate cancer December 2022. 6 sessions of Chemo, then Firmagon and Nubeqa PSA was 349 now about 1 but has been increasing.

Measuring force of heart beats?
Hi. I'm Amelia. New here. Age 63. Paroxysmal AFib since at least 2015. Dx in 2018. Rx Metoprolol. Question: is there any way of measuring the force of your irregular heartbeats? Just wondering if that could explain the difference between people who don't feel their Afib and people that feel all of it

all aspects of liver research
In the article that was posted below, I know this is not something many of us want to face at anytime in our PBC journey. This is, however, a reality for some of us who did progress to this point in our disease. I have to find some real hope that researchers are working on all aspects of PBC. There are

Do I Poke The Bear?
I had my B12 jab last week, I get these every 2 months and am grateful to have them. I've suffered B12 issues since childhood, have dim memories of blood tests and B12 jabs back in the day. I changed surgeries in the early 90's due to moving and have been with this practice ever since. So I'm not sure

Is coping with arrhythmia... "strong" or "weak"?
I posted the following in a different thread, edited a little for this post to make more sense. I felt some might not have read it there and might be interested in replying. I wonder what others' views are on "being strong" when faced with illness, well - arrhythmias in our case (for some daily, maybe

Travel
My husband has decompensated alcohol related liver disease with ascites, abstinent for 7 months. We would like to get to Germany to see his family for a month in our motorhome and wondered if a) anyone has travelled abroad with this condition and b) if anyone has experience of the insurance companies

Bloating
Hi....I've battled with IBS for many years and following endoscopy and gastroscopy I was diagnosed with a lazy stomach. Dietary controls and careful eating seemed to keep things under control with minimal 'episodes' of wind, bloating and diarrhea. Fast forward a few years and following a prolonged course

Symptoms after cardioversion
It's nearly two weeks since I had a successful cardioversion after being in permanent AF following an ablation ten weeks ago. I'm on 5m bisprolol and 200mg amiodarone daily. I'm feeling much better for being in NSR and able to do a lot more (I was very symptomatic in AF). I do still get slightly breathless

Result of CT angiogram
Heard back from the rapid access chest pain clinic and they confirmed I have a mild to moderate blockage of my coronary arteries. They requested my doctor prescribe amlopidine and aspirin - so more medication! I'm not sure about the aspirin as I've had a stomach ulcer in the past and also bleed very

Testosterone and PCa risk - 3
Here's a plot showing the Odds Ratio for having either Intermediate Risk PCa or high-risk PCa, as a function of baseline testosterone levels. The Odds Ratio tells the likelihood of getting PCa, compared to a reference value of 1. So, for example, for the lower plot (high risk), a testosterone level

Testosterone and PCa risk - 2
This plot shows a Kaplan-Mier Prostate Cancer Mortality Survival plot for three different levels of baseline testosterone: Low-T, IntermediateT, and Normal-T. The best survival is for men with Normal testosterone levels at baseline, and the worst survival is for men with low-T. REF: www.spandidos-publications.com
