Here We Go Again
Four days ago, I reported that after 4 ‘failed’ ablations, I had undergone a ‘successful’ cardioversion for what my EP said was atrial tachycardia. For four days, I enjoyed normal sinus rhythm and a heart rate of between 50 and 70bpm. However, my joy was short lived. This evening, whilst watching a

High Cholesterol
Any advice please on my lipid results taken from a finger prick sample when attending an appointment at Our Future Health research programme. They were elevated . Total cholesterol 7.6 mmol/L HDL 1.22 mmol/AL Triglycerides 4.72 mmol/L They did not record LDL unfortunately. It was non-fasting.

Ventricular ectopic runs
Just been to the GP over the palpitations I've been having for a year or so and he said they are (from the way I described them to him) "ventricular ectopic runs" and I'm wondering what this community has to say about them...? They do feel ectopic as I get a 'missed' beat followed by a bigger one and

How prostate cancer transforms into aggressive NEPC following treatment with anti-androgen therapy.
This could be a game changer as it could stop PCa from progressing. Science is going to save us. The development of effective anti-androgen therapies for prostate cancer is a major scientific advance. However, some men who receive these targeted treatments are more likely to develop a deadly treatment-resistant

May - Vasculitis awareness month
May - Day 3 #vasculitis awareness month. Granulomatosis of Polyangiitis or GPA (former Wegener's) is an ANCA assosiated vasculitis and can be severe, even fatal if not treated early and correctly. Nothing is more empowering than #patient stories. This is Emma's story. To donate to #VasculitisUK

Flecainide (again)
Very interesting post by FraserB earlier. My problem is the opposite. Cardiologist raised my dose to 100mg x2 per day after being on 50mg x2 per day for a year and a half. After the third dose of the 100mg 2 hours before bed I felt terrible. The 2nd dose in morning I felt good with no reaction. Was worried

Eliquis and AF symptoms
Hi all, I've been following the posts on this forum and have received helpful feedback re blood thinners and AF. I was recently diagnosed with AF and was put on Eliquis, which I've not yet started because of what I heard about the side effects. I have bradycardia and experience flutters and lightheadedness

Bedranol
I have been prescribed Bedranol ( propranolol hydrochloride) for my anxiety. Just to use as and when I feel anxious . Has anyone else used this beta blocker ? I suffer from IBS - D and I’m worried it might cause diarrhoea. This would defeat the object of taking it completely!

Peginterferon and platelets
I started taking peginterferon 45 mg in November 2023 with a platelet count of 860. Since then, my bloods have been checked monthly, and my dose gradually increased. On Monday I will start 180 mg, alternating the dose weekly with 135 mg for a month, as my platelet count is now 665 and my Haematologist

Decipher this cholesterol reading please
I know there are plenty of knowledgeable people reading these posts so can you decipher this please Chol 3.5 mmol/L, LDL , HDL 1.78 mmol/L,Chol:HDL ratio , Tri 0.51 mmol/L. I don’t understand this. I’m guessing my cholesterol reading is 3.5, but what are HDL and LDL readings individually?

Post Cardioversion advice
After 4 ‘failed’ ablations, I yesterday had a cardioversion for atrial tachycardia. I went back into NSR after only one shock on the lowest setting and my EP was pleased with how the procedure went. Does anyone have any advice about how I can try to stay in sinus? I know it’s a bit of a lottery but

radiation decisions and second and third opinions
My dad was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. It has metastasized to two pelvic lymph nodes and a lymph node in his back they initially called “suspicious” because it’s so small if it wasn’t for the PSMA scan it wouldn’t have been picked up at all. He got his first Lupron shot 3 weeks ago and

Lopressor
Persistent Permanent Afib. Any alternative to Lopressor??? Titrating to control heart rate 100mgm twice a day too much which is my Cardiologists goal 100mgm in am and 50mgm in pm too much. 50 in am and 50 in pm not enough. Was fine on 25/25 but that was when I was in NSR after cardioversion for

Help Needed! Have I got Pernicious Anaemia?
I hope this isn't too long and/or too boring. I suspect I have PA but as with a lot of people here, no-one seems to take B12 deficiency seriously. I also have hypothyroidism so as my symptoms got increasingly worse over the past few years, I blamed my thyroid - the two conditions have many symptoms
