Holter results, bradycardia as predicted...
So, I got my results and as I predicted, it came back with bradycardia. I'm a male, 26 yo, 74kg(160 pounds I think), caucasian. I take levothyroxine 50mg for subclinical thypothyroidism, escitalopram 20mg and valproate 500mg( for anxiety).My symptoms are classical symptoms of bradychardia, like dizziness

Can't increase my iron levels
Hi all, I posted in February 2023 my low iron results and started taking 200 Ferrous Sulphate daily then. My iron results after 3 months were Ferritin 39 (20-204) Serum iron 18.6 (4.4-27.9) Feb 23 was: serum iron 11, ferritin was 29. So not a huge improvement. But now, a year on, even worse! Despite

GP Issues Again With Levo Dose Reduction
I am writing once again with regard to my mothers Thyroid situation. This has been going on for many years 🙄 My mother GP/GPs have been slowly reducing her Levo dose for years, saying she is over medicated. They are as usual focusing on her TSH bloods thinking because her TSH is below zero she’s over

Can Sodium or Calcium Channel Blockers Worsen SVT?
Okay, so I have a new med that I am trying, Propafenone. I have failed Norpace and also Flecainide. The problem I am having is that it seems that these medicines are making the SVT worse. I have Atrial Tachycardia. I cannot find any information about this. Where can I get more information? My doctor

Help with test results - haemochromatosis with iron deficiency?
A few years ago I regularly had blood tests which showed high iron levels so my doc suspected Haemochromatosis. I had the genetic testing which showed I had the gene mutation. I used to get blood drawn to treat it and bring down my iron levels. However, recently I had blood tests which showed low ferritin

Low sodium levels in bloodwork
My husband was dx with MSA-P in 2021 with automonic dysfunction as his dominant feature. His sodium levels have been trending downward since his dx. He experiences frequent periods of confusion throughout the day and I always attributed this to severe blood pressure swings but now wonder if it is low
