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.

Sufficient Investigation?
My brother is a bit of an ostrich, over his prostate problems. He ignored his poor urinary flow for years, and despite my repeated advice which he ignored, he subsequently had to be admitted to the emergency department due to significant obstruction. His GFR had fallen dangerously to 10. He was in

Polyunsaturated fats v saturated fats
I am so confused! I read on another site polyunsaturated fats are bad for people with hypothyroidism and saturated fats are recommended. I tend to follow the Mediterranean way of eating more for heart health and keep slim. This includes oily fish , avocados and nuts which are PUFAs. My GP wanted me

Now what? Second go-around of docetaxel not responding.
I am 65 years old and was Diagnosed 8 years ago with stage 4 PC. Metastasis to hips, pelvis, ribs and many lymph nodes. Took 6 rounds of docetaxel followed by ongoing Lupron injections and then 3 years of Zytiga. PSA was driven down to 2.0 from 76 with 1st 6 rounds of docetaxel. Zytiga drove PSA down

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

hydroxychloroquine and stuffy itchy nose with occasional bleeding.
My rheumatologist added hydroxychloroquine to my methotrexate regiment for my rheumatoid arthritis. After a few weeks on the hydroxychloroquine, my nose has become itchy and stuffed up, especially when lying down and I am having trouble sleeping. Has anyone else had this problem?
