Tuesday's 'Tip'
I've decided to incorporate some of Dr. Jones's wisdom into our Tuesday's 'Tips' These are all from his book [u][i]The Definitive Guide for Patients Who Have Primary Biliary Cholangitis.[/i][/u] This an amazing source of information on PBC from a world leading expert. I strongly encourage everyone

Treadmill test
As an aid to diagnosing persistent chest pains - the consultant thinks they are non-cardiac but wants to investigate a bit more-I’m to be given a treadmill test in a few weeks. I asked for this instead of the more rigourous but not very pleasant “stress test”. The heart rate will be raised to 100 during

Low dose <5mg eliquis
I am taking Eliquis 5 mg twice a day. I get some significant bruising. I am also taking ibrutinib 140 mg which is lowest dose...blood counts are good. I was also diagnosed with afib. I'm wondering if anyone is taking less than 5 mg Eliquis twice daily and if that works? I've talked with a couple friends

Worried about these results please help
Had this blood test done in January and had text to say book a non urgent appointment and just put it off also getting print out from docs they’ve requested a telephone consultation which I’ve eventually booked but looking at it I know the TSH is low in their opinion and obviously cholesterol too high

Arrhythmias
Hi Everyone,I have Afib, 1st episode in December 2022 resolved by cardioversion followed by 2 episodes in July 2023, lasting 24 and 12 hours respectively. I am currently on 1.25 bisoporal daily. Over recent nights I have been getting arrhythmias which my scan watch and omron devices don't classify as

fluoxetine
hi So I’ve asked before about Fluoxetine as treatment for my raynauds I’ve been told it’s extreme primary although they haven’t ruled out secondary. I’m anxious of taking drugs and wondered what experience anyone has had with fluoxetine. Effectiveness, side effects and is alcohol ok? Thanks all

cardioversion and Flecainide
An update - I had my cardioversion privately a week ago - all good, so far….. I feel so much better. HR now around 55-60 instead of 90-100 ( on high dose drugs) I was immediately taken off Digoxin and told to continue the BB Nebivolol 10mg a day. Then started on Flecainide 100mg daily, with the BB.

This week I will hit the 3 month blinding period date! I remain in Normal sinus rhythm and will be able to discontinue my Eliquis! However 3 nights ago I began to have PAC’s. Today I recorded them pretty consistently 3-6 per minute. So bummed as I haven’t really even been aware of my heart beat in last

Slight ache near heart
I had abdominal surgery in November. They used inappropriate dressings despite being warned and I had very inflamed skin on the stomach area. This all triggered paraxsysmal af. I then had terrible burning/itcing all over the torso for which I was prescribed strong pills. I have had a bad yeast problem
