Confused with numbers
Hi, I just got my first numbers two days ago and to be honest I’m sad and scared. All my numbers were good except for FEV1/VC I scored around 69 , FEV1 95 . Doctor said I have mild COPD and he already expected that before getting the speedometer result. I asked if this can get better , he gave me two

thrown in for good measure. I understand that the odd atrial beat is normal, just wondered about this. Letter from electrophysiologist just says 'will keep an eye on it'.

Afib - 32 year old male

Heart arrhythmias, especially when tired
I'm new to this site and am glad to see posts relating to AFib and other people's experiences.

The last one looks especially low, and my GP said he would have expected higher from

Cardiovascular side effects of Lupron?
I have had premature ventricular contractions show on stress EKG's for 40 years; doctors said "harmless". When RP failed after 7 years, I started Lupron 2 months ago on top of vitamin C and alpha Lipoic acid infusions, and many supplements. There was a period when pulse rate fell in 40's, but now back

Is it possible that panic attack and anxiety triggered frequent PAC/PVC, and the PAC/PVC eventually caused afib?
Does it sound resealable?

Acid reflux
Hi all, I've had reflux to some extent since my late teens. Found out I had a large hiatal hernia in 06'. I had surgery to repair it in 08'. Everything was great for about four years,no reflux or stomach issues and didn't need any meds or any anti acids. Then I started having a little reflux again. Had

Back home after cryoablation
Hi all,just got home from hospital a couple hours ago. Everything went well, EP was very happy with procedure. I was in afib when I showed up, had been for three days so he didn't have to get it started. Afib stopped during ablation and they gave me some type of super adrenaline to see if I would go
