Lip biopsy
I would pose this question on the Sjogren’s forums but have not had much luck getting replies there and know many of you will have had this procedure done as part of your AI journeys, so hope you don’t mind if I pose it here. That’s a Louis Theroux documentary we need to see: AI journeys. My ENT doc

Melatonin can induce arrhythmia!

Kardia vs. Boots Blood pressure Monitor.
Kardia vs. Boots Blood pressure Monitor. A bit confused here - my Kardia keeps telling me I'm in 'Possible Atrial Fibrillation' recording heart rates above 100bpm whereas my Boots Blood Pressure monitor tells me my heart rate is under 100bpm. I suffer from ectopic beats but the simple a tried method

Asking for a friend -
Good afternoon everyone. I wondered if anyone could recommend an EP in the Deeside/north Wales area. I am trying to help out a friend who is too shy to come on here and ask herself. Diagnosed AFIB and I believe a flutter. But been waiting 8 months to see a cardiologist, so she doesn't really know

Post thyroidectomy problems with gout medication (allopurinol)
Has anyone else had problems taking allopurinol along side their post thyroidectomy thyroid hormone replacement therapy (either T4 or combination therapy)? I have a background of Thyroidectomy (PCT) and Follicular Lymphoma. As a result of the FL I have high uric acid levels leading to gout and joint

Levothyroxine dosage after thyroidectomy
I am switching from NP Thyroid to levothyroxine. Had a thyroidectomy (no cancer) in 2010, and the natural thyroid med has gone downhill. Anybody else in the same boat? I am elderly and weigh 120 lbs. Just curious how much of the synthetic meds have worked for you.

Update on Cryoablation 3 weeks ago.
After being extremely nervous about the ablation I finally had it done and it really wasn't that big a deal. I was totally knocked out so do not remember anything and felt fine when I woke up. The next day I noticed my neck and chest/stomach area felt just a little sore, almost like I did too many sit-ups

Nightly Afib Now
I now get afib episode almost nightly, anytime from late evening through to early morning, always, always after eating in the evenings…… rest and digest are my triggers. I’m on 50mg Flecainide split as 25mg in the morning and 25mg in the evening. I also have 50 to 100mg as a pill in pocket to restore

Pacemaker for AFib
My Drug-resistant Symptomatic Paroxysmal Atrial fibrillation cannot be treated with catheter ablation, so I was recommended to get a dual-chamber Medtronic Azure XT pacemaker for treatment of AFib. Does anybody have experience with this PM?

Learning all the time
Hi All, As a relative newbie I have found this site so helpful in learning about AF but I do think it would be great to have a glossary of abbreviations for new members. SVT, PIP, CHAD etc were all alien to me although I now know what they stand for from posts where members clarify the meanings. Im

Rough Rough night
Thank you everyone for the words of encouragement for last night. I had a PVI for atrial arrhythmias 6 years ago and last night was one of the worse nights I’ve had since ablation. Things were going very well for last 3 years. Last night for some reason I developed so many PACs I think I was in a fib

Update on seeing Electrophysiologist - and fed up.
Hi All, I’m a bit fed up. I wrote a couple of weeks ago about the fact I’d arranged a private appointment with an EP at my local hospital this week, as I was fed up with waiting for a follow up with my cardiologist which should have happened in January. I’m paroxysmal AF, formally diagnosed last September

Long term Bisoprolol side effects!
Dear all - I've been on a low dose of Bisoprolol (2.5mg) since November 2020 and have coped okay - no real complaints. I did notice tiredness towards the end of the day (16.00 onwards) but then at 64 I thought that might be just getting older. I'm struggling with my cycling as I simply do not have the

1 month out from RF ablation for asymptomatic afib
Hi. I was diagnosed with afib in late 2019 at age 66 and put on an anti-coag and sotalol. I was in and out of afib quite regularly but rarely symptomatic. Three cardioversions failed to restore normal sinus rhythm (NSR) for any real length of time, so ablations were suggested (I live in the US.) Since
