Eliquis and AF symptoms
Hi all, I've been following the posts on this forum and have received helpful feedback re blood thinners and AF. I was recently diagnosed with AF and was put on Eliquis, which I've not yet started because of what I heard about the side effects. I have bradycardia and experience flutters and lightheadedness

Prednisone and kidneys
I was diagnosed with PMR in July 2023 and have been on prednisone ever since, although I have tapered down from 15 mg a day to 13 mg, and will be tapering further down to 12 in the next week or so. My last bloodwork showed higher than normal creatinine levels (104), and a glomerular filtration rate of

Test results confusing
My mum has had an underactive thyroid for years...alongside type 1 diabetes. She was told she wasn't having enough levothyroxine, so the doctor wanted her to put it up to 100, but she asked to go on 75, as she felt 100 would be too much. The doctor agreed. She had a blood test on the 7th December and

Bedranol
I have been prescribed Bedranol ( propranolol hydrochloride) for my anxiety. Just to use as and when I feel anxious . Has anyone else used this beta blocker ? I suffer from IBS - D and I’m worried it might cause diarrhoea. This would defeat the object of taking it completely!

Peginterferon and platelets
I started taking peginterferon 45 mg in November 2023 with a platelet count of 860. Since then, my bloods have been checked monthly, and my dose gradually increased. On Monday I will start 180 mg, alternating the dose weekly with 135 mg for a month, as my platelet count is now 665 and my Haematologist

Decipher this cholesterol reading please
I know there are plenty of knowledgeable people reading these posts so can you decipher this please Chol 3.5 mmol/L, LDL , HDL 1.78 mmol/L,Chol:HDL ratio , Tri 0.51 mmol/L. I don’t understand this. I’m guessing my cholesterol reading is 3.5, but what are HDL and LDL readings individually?

Post Cardioversion advice
After 4 ‘failed’ ablations, I yesterday had a cardioversion for atrial tachycardia. I went back into NSR after only one shock on the lowest setting and my EP was pleased with how the procedure went. Does anyone have any advice about how I can try to stay in sinus? I know it’s a bit of a lottery but

adrenal crisis?
i have been on pred for almost 3 years trying to wean myself off. i never seem to get below 8mgs until the symptoms return. i found that having half my dosage early in the morning really helped so thanks for that advice. i now have managed to reduce to 6mgs. and was beginning to congratulate myself.

Another experience proving we are all different
I had mentioned in a couple of my answers to posts in the group that I had been episode free for over a year, and suddenly I had two back to back episodes of AF. i didn’t remember doing anything different and in fact did not have any alcohol that day or for several days so not drinking anything can
