Endocrinologist Keeps Lowering my Tirosint Dose
Hi Everyone, Since my
partial
thyroidectomy
in December, I moved from an integrative practitioner to a new endocrinologist (who can better monitor my thyroid nodules) but who has also been adjusting my medication solely on TSH numbers.

Hi everyone. After having A.Fib for almost two years I had a cardioversion done on the 15 Dec last supported by six months on Amiodarone. My heart rate is now in Normal Sinus Rhythm and so far all's good. Had the Bisoprolol reduced from 3.75 twice a day to 1.25 twice a day and feel a lot more comfortable

Travelling with Afib
Hello all. I've had 3 episodes of paroxysmal afib, each time reverting back to sinus rythym in a few hours. I've had a normal 24hr monitor and echocardiogram, but I do have pre-existing CAD with 5 stents. Since the 1st episode I've taken edoxoban and my bisoprolol has been increased from 5mg to 6.25mg

Test results. Thyroidectomy in 2012.
FT3: 4.27 pg/mLl (Range 2.18 - 3.98) 116. FT4: 1.53 Ng/dl (Range 0.76 - 1.46) 110.00% FT3: 4.27 pg/mLl (Range 2.18 - 3.98) 116.11% My test have been in normal range since thyroid removed. Suddenly they went to the range above. I lost 20 lbs, my son dyed, could this be the cause? I’ve been on 100

Study says orchiectomy has higher risks for fracture than chemical castration. I wonder why.

Atrial Tachycardia ablation
Has anyone here had an ablation for atrial tachycardia after they’ve had afib ablations? I’m curious to know if that ablation was any different than your afib ablation? I’ve had 3 afib ablations and it seems they’ve resolved the afib and flutter (knock on wood). But they’ve left me with more regular

A question on BP
I am on Nebivolol 5mg for the last 2 months. I take my BP reading about 2 times a day and have watched my pressure go down. I hadn’t had a AFib episode in over a month since on the meds. Night before last, my BP was 114/59. I then became worried it was too low, and couldn’t fall asleep. Once

Junctional Rhythm
I have had Paroxysmal Afib since 2017, and take Warfarin and Bisoprolol ( now been 5mgs twice daily for a year ). No other drugs. I have been having a lot of unclassified results on my Kardia lately. A few is normal and I always thought it was interference or similar, or me not being still enough. However

Thyroid Hormone Change Armour Thyroid to Tirosint/Cytomel
Hello, I recently requested to switch from Armour Thyroid 3 grains to a Tirosint Cytomel combination so that I have more flexibility with T4/T3 ratios. I was proposing Tirosint 137 mcg and Cytomel 10-15 mcg and redoing labs in 6-8 weeks. The CRNP switched my dose to Tirosint 112 mcg + Cytomel 10 mcg

Hello everyone I'm a woman in my 60s and was first diagnosed with paroxysmal AFib about a year ago. I've been having an episode about every 4-5 months and was prescribed Flecainide to be taken at the onset of an episode and that seems to stop it within about half an hour, luckily. Unfortunately,

Statins for paroxysmal Atrial Fibulation?
Hello Everyone. I have P-Afib which is well managed with Verapamil 120mcg. I take Ramiprimil 5mg and Apixaban. I'm lucky my Afib has remained mild once on this treatment for the last two /three years - hopefully will stay that way- providing I keep taking Verapamil. I get the odd flutter for a few seconds

Accuracy of heart monitors during exercise
When I was recently diagnosed with AF I was told by a BHF nurse that the majority of HR monitors can't give an accurate reading due to the inconsistency of heartbeats. Yet I'm often reading concerns on this forum about HR readings on fitness monitors, fitbits etc. and wonder if there is a truly accurate

Is there such a thing as ‘slow AFib?’
Hello all! St Barts in London have offered me an ablation! Taunton referred me to Bristol but they were unwilling because I also have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and they didn’t have a good success rate for people like me.☹️ I was then referred to St Barts and they have said they’ll give it a go.
