acute pericarditis
Just had the most horrendous chest pain, to the emergency room, overnight stay. Swift, great workup, no coronary disease, no pulmonary embolism, no Aortic dissection. Pericardial effusion, CRP of 22, turns out I have Pericarditis. Not fun. No vigorous exercise for 3 months/ Colchicine, Naproxyn.

blood thinners and cod liver oil?
hi everyone hope you all had a good Christmas, I was diagnosed with AF in November so still learning lots from this forum. I am on edoxaban 60mg and Bisoprolol 2.5 as PIP which I have been taking approx every 7 days. I wanted to ask about taking cod liver oil and other vitamins, as I read that fish oil

Looking for help with coming off aspirin & on to Xarelto
I've been diagnosed with possible atrial fibrillation. I've been taking a low dose (75mg) aspirin every night for about two weeks, seems to have helped me sleep as my heart doesn't thump. But my GP has prescribed Xarelto which I will start taking. However I read that aspirin can stay in your blood

ibs and chest pain
have had ibs for years now and get pain everyday then the anxiety kicks in and gives me chest pain. Had every scan known to man only to be told it’s just ibs,tried every medication and nothing works because the anxiety takes over anti anxiety medication and cbt does nothing to ease the pain.Doctor basically

JFK - Kennedy and B12
Given the current coverage of the anniversary of the death of President Kennedy, it seems not unreasonable to post about his health issues - specifically the possibility of Pernicious Anaemia. This is a paragraph from near the end of the article. Not intended as anything other than an interesting footnote

PSA SCREEN VS SYMPTOMATIC
My current PSA test is called PROSTATE SPC AG, SCREEN. My previous PSA test from the same lab was called PROSTATE SPC AG, SYMPTOMATIC. Both labs were off the same order from my MO. Whats the difference?

AFIB AFTER EATING
I was diagnosed with Afib 2 yrs ago. I was given metoprolol, Pradaxa and told to lose weight.I get Afib episodes 7-8 times per month lasting 4 sec to the longest very recently was 8 minutes. In the past 2 months I have been getting palpitaions after eating, which triggers the Afib. Anybody else has

Parkinson's medications and T3 interactions?
I've been hypothyroid for decades, in recent years self-dosing T3 (split dose - 50 mcg AM, 50 mcg afternoon, 12.5 mcg evening). Recently, I was formally diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (informally undiagnosed for years), and now my doctor put me on gradually increasing doses of a Levodopa/Carbidopa

Sticky blood! A thing or not?
Many years ago my blood tests often had to be repeated at the pathology lab because the first and second samples had set solid in transit before testing. I was told it was because I had sticky blood. Last week I saw a cardiologist who initially wanted me to take blood thinners, but as I only scored 1

B1 Question ( nothing comes easy )
question at the bottom I have been reading everything I could get my hands on that was about vitamin B1 over the last couple years and I tried one B1 100 mg per day for one week about a year ago. It did not help and actually it seemed to make shaking worse. Finally I purchased Daphne Bryan's

Levo - am I worrying too much?
First, best wishes to all for Christmas and the New Year. I have been on Levo 100 for seven or so months now - the Accord brand. I got my new order by post about ten days ago and stupidly didn't open the parcel until Christmas day, when I needed to! They sent me Teva, so I have missed two days so far

Metoprol and arrythmias
Thanks first for all the comments in the past. I have long taken Toprol (now Metoprol in the last few weeks), 16 years, before I was diagnosed with Afib recently. And I noticed, through the years, that, say, ten minutes after taking it, I felt a very brief irregularity that then went away. Do any

Provenge criteria necessary for acceptance.
Apparently Medicare will pay for Provenge provided we are castrate resistant and metastatic. But are there other requirements like certain PSA parameters and lower testosterone levels? Do we have to remain on ADT while being treated with Provenge?

Low heart rate while resting
Hey guys. I'm kinda worried about my resting heart rate. If I'm sitting or laying it can go as low as 48bpm, even in sitting. My range is mostly between 48 and 56/57. As soon as I get up my heart rate also jumps quickly and sometimes I get a bit dizzy for few seconds like you would normally get when
