high blood pressure
I’ve been in hospital all day today. Woke at 6am with racing heart and ectopics. Took my blood pressure and it was 196/95. I felt really scared and rang 111 and they told me to go into A&E within the hour, so we did. I was diagnosed with severe hypertension and after loads of tests, ECG’s etc, I was

My recovery from my pulse field ablation April 15.
I am basically very pleased with the outcome. I no longer need to take Flecainide which bothered my gut with excessive (noisy, embarrassing) wind. I am 82 with other comorbidities: secondary adrenal insufficiency and scoliotic restrictive lung disease requiring O2, 24/7. Dr. Reddy, my surgeon at Mount

Arthritis and P.A
Today the g.p. has told me that the mri I had shows arthritis in my upper back and neck. He says its likely to be osteoarthritis rather than rheumatoid arthritis. I told him I have pain every day and it's bad. I also have pain in my hip, elbow and hands. He said to have more blood tests and see the physio

Hi all. I was diagnosed with AF on the 18 July as I had trouble breathing, so I went to see my GP. I’ve always led a active life so I was surprised to hear about AF. With in three days I had an ECG in the morning. That afternoon I was to see another GP. GP then made appointments for blood tests and echo

Too much b12?
As a coeliac I don’t absorb b12 and after much stress with doctors I had the 2wks of loading doses and one every 3 mths with doctor. I pay for an injection in the other months and take Clean b12 tablets daily. As I thought your body can’t overdose I’ve been taking two b12 at night instead of one, and

Am I becoming castrate resistant on orgovix?
I moved again and hopefully this will be the last time. So, I have had to put together a new Medical team and meet my new MO this Tuesday. My bio is pretty up to date. I'm stage 4 and have some lymph node mets and some bone mets. It's been over a year since my last scan which showed improvement from

Help please!
My step son and granddaughter are visiting at the moment . She is 14, very curious and tech savvy. She asked what I did when I went into afib and I said I had a natty piece of tech that does an instant ECG and tells you your heat rate. She wanted to try it out . We could not get it to work . It kept

UPDATE
UPDATE Hi folks, I havnt been very active recently - mostly because things were going slowly, but well with my PCA. Ive just had my latest bloodwork which confirms a PCA increase with a doubling time of about 6 months. This is all very standard and to be expected - I am 4.3 years out from PSA of 1000

permanent afib
My husband is in permanent AF, he has seen a doctor who didn’t seem worried , but told him to have an ECG. Unfortunately their ECG machine isn’t working and he has now been waiting four weeks for one. Should he be worried, he seems ok in himself. Every one here is so supportive I would like to hear

Atrial Fibrilation & Exercise
Hello! I just wanted to share my story here. I'm in my mid-40s and have had paroxysmal Atrial Fibrilation since early 30s. When I get AF, it never goes away on it's own. The only thing I know which gets it back to sinus rhythm is strenuous exercise. Either a run, jog, or brisk hillwalking- something

Hi again Many of you will remember my post about 3 weeks ago when I was in fast AF and felt dreadful and I really appreciated all of your help and support.

Lorazepam and Afib
I there a link between Lorazepam and atrial fibrillation? I used a 1 mg pill to sleep in the night and both times, after 5 or 6 hours, around 6am, I awoke in fibrillation . My usual dangerous time is the early hours of the morning, but Afib comes probably once a month . Is it possible that to

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) vs Heart Attack
It is easy to feel overwhelmed with the amount of ‘medical language’ being used when discussing a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). A sudden cardiac arrest and a heart attack are both emergency situations - you need to dial 999 in UK or 911 in US immediately. Please download our leaflet Sudden Cardiac

3% Afib burden and proposed medication
UPDATE: I saw an EP today. He advised that, unless I had a pacemaker implanted, medicinal control of my afib was too dangerous because of my already low heart rate. He also went over results from the 30 day monitor and the only time my heart rate went up to 170 bpm was when I was exercising while

Cardiac Cath this Friday
I last updated about my new dx of POTS. Since I seem to be a “difficult” case, my cardiologist wants to do a heart cath this Friday. I have not had any chest pain but the shortness of breath is adversely affecting daily. I have had all the pulmonary tests, CT’s and functional tests. I have the lungs
