Cirrhosis plus diabetes
My husband has recent been diagnosed with irreparable cirrhosis, he is also a type 2 diabetic. He’s been told to eat a high calorie diet! He’s waiting to see a dietitian but he’s not got a telephone consultation till the end of August!! Can anyone please recommend things to eat that won’t send his diabetes

Ablation for a 78 yom
I am a 78 Tom. Healthy other than cardio issues of afib. In 2017 I had an ablation which worked for two years. Then sporadic AF for a year. This year (2021) AF back with pulse rate of 162. The controlling med, Amiodarone was prescribed for six months. With the AF I had premature ventricular contractions

PVCs
I have PAF and due my first ablation at the start of September at Barts. Last night I had a PVCs for the first time . Am I right in thinking that this type of ectopic is the dangerous type ?

Air travel, gastroscopy and non alcoholic beverages
My hubby has been diagnosed with cirrhosis. He had ascites which has been drained. He is now at home on a high protein, carb diet and low salt. He has stopped drinking alcohol since he was discharged home. He was an habit drinker and has had no symptoms of withdrawal. When out socialising he drinks

Doctor checkup yesterday
After being forgotten in the exam room ...1 hour later nurse had to locate the doctor, who wasn't even in the building...... anyway, found that my echo and blood work to be very good. I was told...and I kind of thought this as well, that what I was feeling in my chest were pvcs...not Afib. Not concerned

Bisoprolol - side affects.
Hello all, I hope you are keeping well. I am on a very low dose 1.25mg of Bisoprolol to help me cope with PVCs, I have a sinus arrythmia, junctional rhythm, PVC's and suffer from bigeminy - I'm very aware of every skipped beat I have and the anxiety of it all was really taking it's toll hence the medication

I’m going crazy
Backstory: have had occasional heart palpitations since I was 15 years old. Changing in frequency and feeling. I turn 23 tomorrow and have never felt this bad. I’ve had tons of ekgs, echos, holter monitor, blood tests, you name it. Been to a few cardiologists that have told me my palpitations are benign

PVC’s or ectopic beats
Hi, I was diagnosed with paroxysmal afib at 43 in 2017 and had catheter ablation in March this year. Afib returned for a couple of hours twice but was in the 3 month blanking period so was ok. Stopped the flecainide and verapamil 2 months after procedure as advised by surgeon and need to say it feels

I’m feeling really lost right now. PVCS, junctional rhythm, ventricular bigeminy
I’m feeling so disheartened and deflated recently. I starting suffering from shortness of breath at the beginning of the year which I believed may have been anxiety induced, I also had chest pain upon exertion eg. Putting up my Christmas decorations. I should mention that for the last 5 years since

Amioderone for PVC's
Hi I have had pvc's for 45 years now and none of the drugs that were available that many years ago were effective. I have heard of a drug called Amiodarone which is getting good reviews for safety and effectiveness. Is there anyone out there who has tried this? Regards Cliff in Western Australia

Feeling desperate
Hi, where to start? I'm a 39 year old female with a history of alcohol dependency since my early 20s. Three months ago I had an episode of jaundice & stopped drinking. Since then I've developed other symptoms, including clonic jerks/muscle twitches, especially at night but now during the day too. My

Cirrhosis and Movement

Do you get weird signs or symptoms before an arrhythmia starts?
Just curious if anyone gets a weird feeling/sign/symptom before their arrhythmia starts? The doctors believe I have some form of SVT. Been trying to catch it for years. But after many failed attempts at event recorders etc they finally put in an implantable loop recorder. I was diagnosed with inappropriate

When you are better and then worse
I think I was doing better over the last few months and then my doctor sticks me on Lexapro an I get an ear infection (unrelated but at the same time) These two actions have thrown me way off. I am off the lexapro but it really made for a tough month and the ear thing was taken care of by ENT. I am

Interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome and endometriosis?
Hi, I have a laparoscopy booked next week to look for endometriosis, which my consultant thinks may be linked to my interstitial cystitis symptoms- does anyone else have this? Do you have any advice on how to manage it? I had my mirena coil removed for the surgery at the surgeons request and now my
