I THINK MY GP IS GIVING ME WRONG ADVICE - I'M WORRIED.
I have been in AF since August but apart from the discomfort I can function. My GP is keen to prescribe flecanide which she says I will be on for the rest of my life. I have had one successful cardioversion and when I suggested another she just rolled her eyes and seemed quite annoyed that I suggested

Beta blocker necessary?
I am on pradaxa and metaprolol half of 25 MGM twice a day. I have not taken the beta blocker for 3 days because I am out of town and forgot to take it with me and local pharmacy had trouble getting it. Anyhow after missing 3 days worth I think I feel better without it. I have no symptoms with my af

T3 supplement for hypothyroidism (on Thyroxine)
I've been on Levothyroxine since diagnosis in 1993, and about a year or so after birth of my second child in 1985 I started to gain a lot of weight, was always tired (not anaemic) my hair started to thin badly but initial investigations did not show anything apparently. I moved house and had to change

Pain from Pudendal Nerve Block and Trigger Point Injections
I had been suffering from Pelvic Pain for years but was improved. However, some pain still remained. I had a physical at the Cleveland Clinic and a urologist there suggested Pudendal Nerve Block and Trigger Point Injections stating that I could get better and that there were no risks associated with

Tachycardia after ablation
I'm looking for some advice please. I had a cardiac arrest over three years ago and have an ICD, defibrillator and pacemaker, which is monitored electronically (something like a satnav I imagine). I had a second ablation about two weeks ago and feel fine apart from being a bit breathless going upstairs

Damage to heart per AF Attack
Had to phone 111 today. Been in AF nearly 36 hours now. ECG captured heart rate at 101bpm but it's varied between 76 & 130bpm. I can see how 170+ bpd can wear the heart out but what about just over 100? Reason for asking is the comments made by the nurse from 111. Also, what does 'Nonspecific T wave

Afib and noac side effects
Hi I was diagnosed with afib about 7 weeks ago. So far I've tried riveroxaban and apixaban on full dose and half dose. The side effects were terrible so last night I started dabigatran hoping it will be better. Does anyone know how long it takes for apixaban to get out if your system once you've stopped

Visit to cardiologist
Thanks for your thoughtful responses to my first post. Since I wrote I have had a 24 hour monitor fitted and a follow-up visit to a cardiologist. I handed the cardiologist my post and let her read it. She felt my pulse and said that it was erratic and I had a further ECG. The result of my 24 hour trace

Should I Ablate ?
I have now visited my EP and have received a thorough report from him. He has left the decision to me if I want to go ahead with the procedure . The waiting time would be about two-three month . I am 72 with underlying heart conditions , but very active in the gym and tennis player . 1. He does not

DP/DR
I've been suffering for so long but today has been good. I started taking lorazepam, and it made me feel so good like DP/DR was lessened and I was calm and felt normal. however my anxiety is overpowering it, what if I'm just getting used to it? How could one tablet change me in a day? What if I'm already

My new tens machine
Hi all. Thought I would come on here and read posts/reply, as I can't sleep...again! I recently bought myself a tens machine from Lloyds chemist. It was only a cheap one in the sale, but my physio said not to pay too much for one, as they don't work for everyone. I have used it on my lower back and leg

Second pudendal nerve block
Since receiving a diagnosis of pudendal neuralgia earlier on this year, I will be attending wythinshawe hospital again soon for my second pudendal nerve block. Last one was done trans-vaginally but Dr DeMello now has the ability to use DR guidance to administer the nerve block via my buttock region.

New to this... Tried everything for post surgical pain.
Hey. I've never really used a forum like this before although I have read them. I'm 22 years old and had lung surgery 3 years ago following a pneumothorax which couldn't be resolved. My lung is generally okay now but I've been left with chronic pain around my ribs on the side and at the top of my chest

New to HealthUnlocked, have Peripheral Neuropathy and need support.
I'd been tripping over for many years, it became a bit of a joke and I thought that I was just clumsy. Around 2 years ago, I was sent for physio for my shoulder and mentioned pain in my back and weakness in my right foot, having suddenly developed a 'flat foot'. From here I was sent for a 'nerve block

Nerve blocks
After waiting 15 months i finally had nerve blocks at the pain clinic! Hopefully they will help and I can reduce the huge amount of painkillers I take every day. I spoke to my consultant about further treatment - pulsed radiofrequency ablation for my inguinal neuropathy - unfortunately it is no longer
