Ablation
Hi. I have been taking Flecainide for 10 days now 50mg twice daily for PVCs and none sustained runs of VT. They haven’t worked has much than I thought they would. My EP said if the Flecainide don’t work then I could have an ablation. I was just wondering what the odds are if the ablation making my PVCs

Hi there, Anybody else experienced difficulties weaning off Bisoprolol? I am nearly 12 months post ablation for VT and PVCs, despite a turbulent time, my ablation has been deemed a success. I have just dropped my final dose of 1.25mg ( I was originally taking 10 mg) which I have weaned off over the

Some clarity please!
Like most people who’ve posted here, I was (and still am) creeped-out by my fibroscan scan results in December 2021 of F4 cirrhosis. I’m told I’m well-compensated and haven’t experienced any symptoms or abnormal blood labs except for very high liver enzymes. My question is: does the natural progression

LFT results
I recently had LFT done. All came back in normal range except my albumin was 39 albeit in range that’s the lowest I’ve had. I’ve been worried about the amount I’ve drunk over the years. Always wine approx 30 units a week. I do not have any symptoms. I’ve read you can have cirrhosis withoutsymptoms

PVCs have made me almost bed bound at 32
I’m hoping to feel less alone with this. I’m 32 years old, history of VSD as a child, and two weeks ago I was running 5k and weight lifting 6 times a week. I started off with just one or two “episodes” of ectopics when working out (these are a few seconds long with many ectopic beats). These have increased

Flecainide for VT
Hi, Is anyone taking Flecainide for VT ? I have been suffering with PVCs for the last 3 years. I’m currently taking 10mg of Nebivolol which don’t seem to be working. I have previously taken Varapamil and Bisoprolol which didn’t work either. My EP has suggested trialing Flecainide first before going down

Pre Ventricular Contractions Diagnosis
Hi everyone! I am new here and this is my first post/question. I was recently diagnosed with PVCs by a cardiologist. He prescribed Metoprolol but my heart beats were still 18.9% PVCs, so he recommended me to an Electrophysiolgist for ablation consideration. Now reading posts here I see that people

Liver Cirrhosis - late ultrasound scans
Who has experienced late hospital appointments for liver ultrasound scan tests since the outbreak of COVID in 2019? I am constantly worried about not receiving automatic dates and have had to telephone the Hepatology dept several times every time mine is due and the appointments are becoming later

Fibroscan request 4 years after transplant
Good Morning My husband had a liver transplant in 2017 due to NASH cirrhosis. He recently had a diagnosis of asbestosis and emphysema. He is a type 2 diabetic and this seems to be causing him problems and is out of control. He recently had an ultrasound scan of his liver which seems to be causing

Pvcs all day and chest discomfort
Hi I am a 50yr old female and have had svt and ectopic beats for the last almost thirty years. My ectopic beats are all day every day and are caused by changes in air for example the wind outside windows that are open and steam from a pan or kettle. I have found them worse now than they have ever been

PVCs a way to stop them, I find.
I have discovered that when they start, if I stretch my arms up for about 10 seconds above my head (as you do when waking up in the morning, a good yawn and stretch), they quickly subside to normal rythm, If they return I do the same again. You can watch on a pulseoximeter - it goes from 39 - 70

Thoughts on Dr. Malcolm Kendrick?
I am new to this site, a retired Canadian nurse with high blood pressure and frequent PVC issues. I have read all of the British GP Dr. Kendrick’s books, and am curious about what sense others may have of his opinions. I know he has been vehemently dismissed by the medical establishment as anti big
