pvc burden increasing
Dear all some advice please I had a cryo ablation three years ago and really good result. In the last few months I am having lots of ectopic beats. Makes me uncomfortable and now dizzy. 7 day monitoring days pvc’s. ECG doesn’t usually capture them. Gp write to cardiology and they said go back on Verapamil

Atrial Fibrillation in Athletes
Athletes with Atrial Fibrillation, or who are worried about developing it, may be interested in this vid (just out) where two very fit cyclists visited Glenfield Hospital in Leicester (where the British Heart Foundation have a MRI Facility) and get tested. There is then a good discussion on Atrial Fibrillation

A Correction
A few weeks ago I mentioned that Dr Ohtsuka will be a panellist in an online (Zoom) discussion about AFib and the mini-maze procedure. The WO-MM (Wolf-Ohtsuka Mini Maze) is an adaptation of the Wolf Mini Mazem as performed at the NewHeart Watanabe hospital in Tokyo. Dr Wolf, who is a surgeon at Debakey

FT3 better than FT4 in dose adjustment of T4 therapy
This paper by the distinguished author Ito et al shows that FT4 levels often fall out of range when FT3 is in range. TSH was also poor at diagnosing best treatment. Proportion of serum thyroid hormone concentrations within the reference ranges in athyreotic patients on levothyroxine monotherapy:

Slow irregular heartbeat?
Was diagnosed with arrhythmia last autumn, currently on edoxaban, flecanide and bisoprolol. About 20 hours ago my heart started beating irregularly, it is still slow (about 50 bpm) and seems to be missing a beat every 3/4 beats. NHS111 yesterday advised going to A&E where they did ECG and blood

Complete thyroidectomy & meds
Hello everyone ! I had a complete thyroidectomy in August. Initially, I had been taking the generic Levothyroxine. I immediately had horrible symptoms of crushing depression and extreme fatigue. My doctor boosted me up to 125 mg and there was no difference. I looked online and read that some people

dosing changed
Just to let you know I have atrial fibrillation directly caused by hyperthyroid about 25 years ago. I had my thyroid removed eventually. About 20 years ago. I appear to be very sensitive to medication changes. So I was taking 100mcg levo 5 days and 125mcg on Monday and Friday. This was reduced

Migraine on tapering
Just a quick question - I began DL's slow taper from 9mg to 8.5mg on Saturday 18/3/23 and suffered a migraine aura so took a sumatriptans tablet. Gradually recovered over the next couple of days. The second reduction to 8.5mg is today (22/3/23) and, again, I have had a migraine aura and taken sumatriptans

patient access
after being asked to lower levo to 50 mcg! I have delayed a telephone conversation with GP as I am under a Endo whom I’m seeing today . I wanted to talk to him about this so called request , I think lowering my 50 is ridiculous. Based on TSH as usual . Test show T3. 3.0.

Berberine - does anyone have experience of taking this for PAF?
I’m going to have a pace and ablate in a few weeks time, so I started watching videos about it by the York Cadiologist (great guy!). On one of the videos I tripped across a comment where a chap said he had to stop taking Flecainide because of the adverse side effects (that’s me too!) and had started

Amazing
I just want to say that yesterday was an amazing day. We all have good and bad. My pacemaker was done on the 27th and I have had some good days and not so good. Yesterday I woke up really early and had energy all day. I walked with my dog around our property of almost an acre. A few weeks ago I could

First afib incident since dx 3 years ago
Have been taking Diltiazem 180 mg daily for 3 years without having any tachycardia till now. Days with HR 130-140 bpm. I think that it was caused by the stress due to the severe storm that caused many blowdowns (one on my house) loss of power, internet, and downed phone lines. Lots of worry, shoveling
