Do you Know Your Pulse?
Do you know what a normal resting heart rhythm is? Do you know what an irregular heart rhythm feels like? Did you know that an irregular pulse can be the very early warning signs of an arrhythmia? It is vital you monitor your heart rhythm by taking regular pulse checks. For further information

Do you know your pulse?
Your heartbeat is the most fundamental rhythm in your life, signalling the regular pumping of your heart as it propels blood carrying oxygen and nutrients to the rest of your body. We take the regular beating completely for granted, never giving it a second thought until the elegant control process

Thoughts?
Hello, Decided to ring the liver trust nurses today . I spoke to a lovely lady who went through stuff with me but as she said didn’t know my medical details but encouraged or questioned should I be asking my consultant about my prognosis. Am I alone with now being scared to death that if I should ask

Study: Depression is largely prevalent, but undiagnosed in SLEResearchers in Pakistan surveyed 40 people with SLE using PHQ-9 scale
Depression is highly prevalent among people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but often goes undiagnosed, according to a single center study in Pakistan. The “treatment of depression is a vital component in the management of these patients and should be offered where appropriate,” the researchers

GCA, Afib, heart failure
I was concerned my Afib following a TIA Aug 23 wasn’t controlled. GP requested bloods for BNP plus CRP/ ESR which hadn’t been done since March. I have had bouts of fatigue which have up to now been linked to adrenals following a Syncathen test. The CRP came back as 15, ESR 14. Rheumatology helpline suggested

Is vitamin K2 ok with edoxaban?
I'm in the UK I'll keep it brief but I take edoxaban and bisoprolol for afib. I'm aware that historically Warfarin has a question mark over vitamin K1 for various reasons Some people seem to monitor using inr testing but my question is that more modern anti coagulants use a different mechanism of action

"When to Hold, When to Fold"...or "a Bird in the Hand..."
Since first experiencing Afib 4 years ago, I have been advised off and on to consider ablation. Many people seem to think that ablation cured or reduced their Afib, while others have reported disappointing ineffectiveness and complications. It is difficult to pin down statistical assessments because

Gastro Appointment
hi everyone, I promised I would update you after my gastro appointment, there is not a lot to say really, he told me the past ct scan showed diffuse fatty liver and the ultrasound showed severe liver impairment, he then told me that the fibroscan done by them showed significant scarring, then showed

I wonder how many of us have this gene snip?It seems responsible for some autoimmune Thyroid disease and is quite rare
I have my nebula genomics results and this snip in particular seems relevant . Does anyone else have their results? Snip rs2476601 it says in snpedia.com that it is bad to have an A and very rare to have 2 AA Can cause lots of other autoimmune diseases too Best wishes Manjushri

T3 when to take it
have been put on a T3 trial by a private doctor who specialises in thyroid conditions, just wondered what time of day morning and evening is best to take it, as have been told to take it twice a day. Been on thyroid medication for over 70 years. For a underactive thyroid. As members say the thyroid

Severing from fatigue, mouth ulcers really bad migraines. My body gets swollen and holds a lot of fluid. Joint pain as well as stomach issues.

Flare or Adrenal Crisis
During the Christmas period I had a series of very stressful situations , including transatlantic travel. Upon returning I experienced extreme burning pain in my neck, arms, shoulders and groin. I could barely get out of bed. It was the same pain I experienced when I was first diagnosed with PMR 2 1

Measuring force of heart beats?
Hi. I'm Amelia. New here. Age 63. Paroxysmal AFib since at least 2015. Dx in 2018. Rx Metoprolol. Question: is there any way of measuring the force of your irregular heartbeats? Just wondering if that could explain the difference between people who don't feel their Afib and people that feel all of it

Is coping with arrhythmia... "strong" or "weak"?
I posted the following in a different thread, edited a little for this post to make more sense. I felt some might not have read it there and might be interested in replying. I wonder what others' views are on "being strong" when faced with illness, well - arrhythmias in our case (for some daily, maybe

Symptoms after cardioversion
It's nearly two weeks since I had a successful cardioversion after being in permanent AF following an ablation ten weeks ago. I'm on 5m bisprolol and 200mg amiodarone daily. I'm feeling much better for being in NSR and able to do a lot more (I was very symptomatic in AF). I do still get slightly breathless

Result of CT angiogram
Heard back from the rapid access chest pain clinic and they confirmed I have a mild to moderate blockage of my coronary arteries. They requested my doctor prescribe amlopidine and aspirin - so more medication! I'm not sure about the aspirin as I've had a stomach ulcer in the past and also bleed very

Sodium Lauryl Sulphate&Iron
Hi, anybody found out if ferrous fumerate can be got without sodium lauryl sulphate. I need the iron badly but suffer because of the SLS.
