HCI and pepsin and anticoagulants
Just finished a week in Spain with daughter and had terrible heartburn, burping etc. I know I have low stomach acid because of an under active thyroid Have just ordered some Betaine Hydrochloride with pepsin tablets from Natures Best but wonder if I can take them with an anticoagulant Any

Any ideas or suggestions welcome!
Dear Friends, I’m feeling really not so positive just now and that’s really unlike me… Long story short for some members: AFib for three years, fast (150+beats) I never go back into NSR without a cardioversion. AFib due to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. I was so happy after my successful ablation at

Quivering sensations
I hope you are all wellMy question : Has anyone experienced episodic "quivering" sensations that are very brief, 10 seconds or so? I've had something similar before, several years ago and wore a Zio patch for 2 weeks but never picked up any A-fib only PACs and PVCs. I am now 67 year old dx with paroxsymal

castration after 7 years of ADT
I have been on Zoladex for nearly 7 years and am fully over any regrets of Chemical castration. My psa is now slowly rising and ghastly taken 2 years from undetectable to 0.65. I am considering surgical castration now as it would mean no more 3 monthly Zoladex injections and a reduced chemical load on

When to take bisoprolol ?
Hi , My husband is on 7.5 in the morning and I’ve reduced him to 5 in the evening as he has been so tired all the time . They only upped it by 2.5 when I rang heart function nurse when his ecg on his watch was creeping up to 130 . He was on digoxin before which seemed to keep his ecg around 89/90 but

First Post - Flecainide with Diltiazem
Hi, my first post but have been a member and avid reader of all your posts (which have been very informative) since joining in Feb 22 when diagnosed with AFib. Question - does anyone have experience of taking Diltiazem alongside Flecainide, and if so, has that been ok in terms of QoL and side effects

No more propafenone!!!! What???
I'm in the U.S., diagnosed PAF ~3 years ago. Have achieved excellent control with propafenone (Rythmol). My pharmacy informed me they cannot refill my prescription, as there is a supply side problem with propafenone. From what I have read, there is a dangerous shortage of propafenone in the U.S and

cardioversion
How do people feel being in persistent AF? I have an appointment for a cardioversion pre op on Thursday after being told after an angiogram that everything the arteries were fine but I was in persistent AF. I have no symptoms and feel absolutely fine, the consultant did double my bisoprolol to lower

low heart rate
hi, I was in hospital 6 weeks ago with a bad attack of A Fib. Came as a shock as I’d had palpitations on and off for a few seconds but nothing lasting hours. I was given Bisopropol and edoxaban to go along with the Ramipril and Amlodopine I was already on. The beta blocker must have worked as I went

GCA diagnostic dilemma
Thank you everyone who has helped so far. Last night I had a message from Rheumy saying I should go to the hospital for an emergency biopsy, with the headache and unusual severe temporal pain being the driver. He said that U/S was so ‘operator sensitive’ as to be unreliable in this ‘locality’. The

Medical OR chemical castration
Hi All, Ok I am 79 and still in great physical condition. PR and ADT for 2 years. To date no unusual physical side effects other than zero sex drive. It looks as thought I will be on ADT until I die. PSA increasing monthly so I will try other chemicals. I want to remain in good shape until my number

Affect of tummy upsets on anti-coagulants,
I was wondering what effect it has on the absorption of anti-coagulants, should something cause you to have diarrhoea - how long does it take after ingestion does it take something like an Eliquis tablet to become effective ?

After being in continuous AFib since 18th October 2021, when diagnosed with AFib, having 2 failed Cardioversions, speak with several doctors at A & E when taken in, and the some Cardiologists, yesterday my AFib stopped! Today I have woken up and no AFib, feels strange. I'm just wondering if it because

Heart di6
At 36 I had a massive heart attack. 4 years later a stroke I recovered. My heart is enlarged. I had afib given pills and ablation. It worked for 3 years. My afib is back and I am waiting to be treated. I still play racquetball twice a week and lift weights 3 days. I am 61 now. I have worked out since
