AF - a wide range of different varieties?
I’m new to the Forum and wonder if my “type” of AF is common. I have several friends who have AF and they all seem to have different types. I am a fit 71 year old - playing sport several times a week. When I have an AF episode I usually can’t feel anything- I only became aware of my AF because of

Reducing bisoprolol
After an ablation in early April I went into symptomatic AF after two days but have since had a successful cardioversion. I remain in NSR and on advice from the arrhythmia nurse have reduced my bisprolol from 5mg to 2.5 mg daily. I'm a week into the lower dose. My heart rate has increased, which doesn't

Dad,83 - is biopsy necessary ?
My dad , 83 had an elevated psa at 18. Dr ordered MRI which showed a pirads 5 with 2-3 bone metastases in the pelvic region and femur. Went to an oncologist who said to do a PSMA and then to start him on Lupron and bicalutamide. And maybe radiation for the bone met pain. He said he did not really

Rise in psa
I had rp in 2021 with recurrence 12 months later to 1 lymph node. RT to 9lymph nodes and zoladex hormone therapy for 18 months. Psa has been undetectable for 12 months but just rose to 0.03. Do I need to wait until it rises to 2.0 as I've seen advice before or is there a more proactive approach? Thanks

Bisacodyl has been prescribed for me
I’ve been on laxido for constipation for the last two years or so. At first it was ok with very little side effects. However, recently over the last few months I’ve been suffering from bloating, trapped wind and excess gas which are side effects of laxido. I met with my gastroenterologist today and

Liver disease, mast cells and antihistamine
I’ve just seen a post on X about mast cells and Covid-19 which mentioned a link with autoimmune diseases of the gut and the use of antihistamines as a treatment.. I wondered if anything was known about autoimmune liver diseases, mast cells and antihistamines. I found this 2017 research paper https://

Change proposed to medication for epilepsy
I have asked for my Tegratol medication for epilepsy to be changed to something else as it interferes with use of simpler blood thinners. I am currently on Tegratol 200mg twice daily, 9mg warfarin and 10 mg Bisoprolol daily. It was also suggested I start on digoxin although my heart rate has not been

Do you or someone you know have Atrial Fibrillation?
Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia affecting many individuals worldwide. AF can increase the risk of stroke. The irregular heart rhythm causes the blood to pool and this may cause a blood clot to form in the heart chambers which can then be carried to the small blood vessels in the brain

Silly Questions??
1) Why do some advanced prostate cancer patients get offered "vacations", from ADT and others don't? 2) Why do some advanced prostate cancer patients have NO Chemo, and go directly to ADT + Abiraterone+Prednisone, while others begin treatment with chemo and radiation? What are the deciding criteria

What Next After Xtandi Fail?
Morning all. Don't post much but now is the time. Been fighting the Beast since Nov 2016. On Lupron from the beginning and Xtandi since Nov 2019. Hit Nadir of .21 in Dec 2022. Since then, PSA has been jumping around, but trending upward. End of 2023, it was at .67. Feb 2024, PSA up to .87. Yesterday

Well following previous posts and still no results from Holter monitoring had letter from Cardiologist to say that due to misunderstanding I should be taking 100mcg of Losartan divided into two 50 in morning and 50 at night. I have only been taking 50 once a day as that’s what it looked like on the

overdose
I was diagnosed Feb 1 2024. Is it possible to overdose on Co-Beneldopa 200 MG. I take three doses a day [3 x 200 mg]. I try to take them at 8-hour intervals but often screw up, as my memory is so bad. Any side effects of Co-Beneldopa?

default heart rate when in Afib?
Hi guys Long story short:third ablation failed in May. In between ablations (last 2 years) my afib has been permanent. Ive tried multiple drug combos but the only thing that makes my heart beat normally is an ablation. After latest failed I had a week’s reset after a public hospital cardioversion.

Burning pain in thigh
last night I woke with a sharp burning pain in my thigh, it felt like a hot knife. As I went to move my leg it spasms and pain became intense. This lasted for about 20 mins. Even today I still get the odd niggling pain again feeling hot. Does anyone have any ideas ? Thanks

loop recorder
I am being asked by an EP/ cardiologist to have them implant a loop recorder to monitor my heart for an extended period of time. This recorder will be recording continuous EKG readings that is transmitted to the treating cardiologist . It is expected that this will allow for better diagnosis and treatment

The whites of your eyes?
Sorry to bother but these last several days the whites of my eyes are grayish and bloodshot when I wake. Not yellow though. They get better as the day goes on but its curious to me and slightly worrisome. Will be weeks before I can see my liver dr. Has anyone else had this? Is it a common side effect
