General Update - I got lost in the site
Sorry everyone, I managed to get totally confused again, and I think I've posted duplicate replies, then lost other replies and now I can't find all the replies that were left for me so I think I've managed to delete them. Trouble is my hands shake so much these days that I keep pressing wrong buttons

High dose Ergocalciferol (Vit. D-2) for Osteoporosis?
Since losing my long time primary doctor last year, I am on my second doctor for advice for osteoporosis. I was reluctant to take Prolia recommended by the first D.O. doctor and the second Internist Doctor recommended 50,000 (I think IU) weekly for a couple of months. I haven't picked up the prescription

I have a question.
Does anyone's rheumatologist order a CRP HS blood test? I heard of CRP, but not this one. Is it solely for heart disease, or something to do with other diseases too like Lupus?? Mine was high.

Diagnosing Arrhythmias
When the heart is beating normally, it is referred to as ‘sinus rhythm’. An extra beat (ectopic beat) can trigger a short circuit, and a fast heartbeat. It can travel down an extra pathway and up the normal conduction system. If this continues, palpitations can result. For more information, please download

BCR May Not Be a Strong Surrogate End Point for Prostate Cancer Survival
A new study, below [1] & [2]. In 2004 I came across old studies that showed that ADT promotes changes to the androgen receptor [AR] environment. At diagnosis, the AR is invariably "wild type". When ADT failed, AR gene amplification was common. True mutations were rare. {This was sufficient for

Can you have “attacks” when in persistent/constant afib?
If you are in persistent/constant bradycardic (40-60ish bpm) afib can you still have “attacks” of afib? Sort of ad-hoc exasperation of say breathlessness, chest pressure etc. I’m not even sure that question makes any sense… we are still trying to sort out what are “afib symptoms” and what isn’t after

The Idea of White Coat Syndrome led to me having many mini strokes.
"White coat syndrome, or white coat hypertension, is the term for when you get a high blood pressure reading in a doctor's office and a normal reading at home. The anxiety of being around doctors in white coats can make your blood pressure rise. Most people don't need treatment if their blood pressure

Persistent AF

The echo has shown the hearts looks OK with a good EF and moderate dilation of left atrium, the monitor showed my HR anywhere between low 70's and mid 120's with an average of 94! The cardiologist

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.

Compression socks for travel
Hello, wondering if anyone has a good experience with compression socks for long haul travel? I do experience some feet swelling these days during the day which usually goes away with elevation for a brief period of time. I have flights coming up in the 7 to 14 hour range so am thinking that apart

Cardioversion of Atrial Fibrillation (AF)
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common rhythm disturbance of the heart which may cause rapid irregular palpitations, chest pain, breathlessness or fatigue. Sometimes it is hardly noticed by the patient. In such cases it is often picked up by routine examination of the pulse listening to the heart or recording

Question about support stockings
Hello. It's been a while with posting. I have been wearing support stockings since last November after arriving home from the hospital, for almost 10 months now, they have always been a struggle, and it's a bit tough to wear shorts with these knee-high's, I usually wear long pants outside to hide them

Dearest fellow Warriors, I am new to the forum and appreciate reading your stories and advice.

What is post ablation normal heart rate
I had my ablation last week for a fib which I have been told was a success. I have felt very dizzy with occasional ectopics since but bp has been ok and heart rate between 72 and 78. Then today everything has changed. Lots of ectopics and resting heart rate between 95 and 98. Should I be worried?

high blood pressure
I’ve been in hospital all day today. Woke at 6am with racing heart and ectopics. Took my blood pressure and it was 196/95. I felt really scared and rang 111 and they told me to go into A&E within the hour, so we did. I was diagnosed with severe hypertension and after loads of tests, ECG’s etc, I was

My recovery from my pulse field ablation April 15.
I am basically very pleased with the outcome. I no longer need to take Flecainide which bothered my gut with excessive (noisy, embarrassing) wind. I am 82 with other comorbidities: secondary adrenal insufficiency and scoliotic restrictive lung disease requiring O2, 24/7. Dr. Reddy, my surgeon at Mount

76 years old with A F
Hi all. I was diagnosed with AF on the 18 July as I had trouble breathing, so I went to see my GP. I’ve always led a active life so I was surprised to hear about AF. With in three days I had an ECG in the morning. That afternoon I was to see another GP. GP then made appointments for blood tests and echo
