My cholesterol was always low until I went through the dreaded menopause which turned me upside down and inside out! My anxiety shot through the roof and my cholesterol with it! I’ve always been slim fit and healthy. Never smoked and drank minimal alcohol. My diet is very healthy. No red meat or processed

I’m taking clopidogrel and aspirin following a Watchman implant. I feel fatigued all day, foggy—just as I did on metoprolol and did even more so on amiodarone. I also bruise more easily and bleed more flowingly on clopidogrel than on apixaban, which I stopped when I started a three-month course of

Elevated Diastolic Blood Pressure & Thyroid?
I’ve read that thyroid issues can increase diastolic blood pressure while systolic remains normal. I’ve been seeing a slight increase / trend with this. Has anyone else seen this and it meant levothyroxine increase needed?

not PA, next steps
Hi all. I am now SI EOD and have had my iron infusion which is great. I’ve had my autoimmune blood tests back which show I don’t have an autoimmune disease or Pernicious Anaemia (results attached). I’ve been advised that means I have a gut issue which is blocking absorption, I’m keen to get this looked

Edoxaban and dreams and nightmares
Hi all, Hope you all have a great Easter ... plenty of chocolate and bunnies ..... or even warm, sunny, dry weather ! Have any of you who take Edoxaban experienced the worst most sleep destroying nightmares of a violent topic ? Or even any nondescript dreams or nightmares. I did put a post on here

Unusual positional ectopics and PAF
A few days ago, on turning onto my right side to go to sleep, after about 30 minutes I noticed palpitations (rather “heavy”ectopics and a slower than usual heartbeat which was “stuttering”) This lasted for several hours until I fell asleep. Last night this pattern repeated again, but this time when

8Fast Regular Heartrate
HiI was diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation about 3 years ago and I am on a low dose of a betablocker (Bisoprolol 1.25mg daily). I seem to go for quite long gaps without an episode and sometimes I'm not even sure if it is an Afib episode - I have other arrythmias so it can be hard to differentiate. For
