Does donating 1 liter of blood increase chance of going back into Afib?
I had surgical ablation on 9/8. Stayed in sinus rhythm for 2 weeks then back to Afib. I had a cardioversion 2 weeks ago and have stayed in sinus. I need to have 1 liter of blood drawn because my iron levels are too high. Does anyone know if taking out that much blood will increase my chances of going

1 ablation 3 cardioversions
I’m 81. My afib was first diagnosed in 2020 but I’m sure it started well before. In 2021, I was prescribed diltiazem at ER. The next evening, after lying on my side in bed watching Masterpiece Theater for 2 hours, I stood up … and blacked out, falling and breaking my arm. I have low blood pressure, never

Ambroxol and Parkinson’s
a clinical trial of ambroxol called ‘Ambroxol to Slow Progression in Parkinson’, or the ‘ASPro – PD’ trial, will begin. This is a large phase 3 clinical trial to determine if ambroxol can slow or stop Parkinson’s. It is led by Professor Anthony Schapira at University College London and is funded by Cure

Having severe shortness of breath month now, chest xray shows moderate lung hyperinflation. Can this be caused by anxiety?

Sinus Rhythm with Various other Arrhythmias
Since having my first Afib episode in over a year after an ablation in March, 2022, I've had a very few additional Afib episodes. What's new is an almost daily spate of readings from my Kardia of: 'Sinus Rhythm with Supraventricular Ectopics", "Sinus Rhythm with Wide QRS", "Sinus Rhythm with Premature

One failed catheter ablation in Jan 2023, massive worsening of symptoms in July 2023 clearly indicating vagal nerve involvement. My very nice cardiologist (Professor) recommends another cath ablation or drug therapy which I know will not work, e.g. can't breathe well after betablocker and developed extreme

Pre afib signs
Does anyone else have any pre afib symptoms? I usually get them an hour or so before it appears. My HR shoots up to over 100 for a second and I can feel it in my chest and my HR drops down to normal but I can sense something is going on but HR still around 55-60. Then may 30 to 60 minutes later it hits

Flecainide for chemical version
Persistent AF for over two years punctuated by NSR for 8mths after first cardioversion but only 2 weeks after second. Now on digoxin & sotalol which controls the rate well but limits activities. Clinic suggest trying Flecainide to see if it will chemically induce NSR. Any experiences with this approach

Immunocompromised
I’m currently in a clinical trial receiving infusions of a drug similar to rituximab, and therefore immunocompromised. I am a public employee and in a battle with my employer. I was working remotely for 2 years, and my job is easily accomplished remotely. They are now requiring me to come back full

Stopping Flecainide
Had cryo ablation in 2014 and over the past couple years started getting occasional afib episodes esp after exertion. Cardiologist put me on flec, 50 mg bid, which reduced the episodes. Also was advised to use 100 mg as pip in event of breakthroughs.About a year ago the episodes increased and was told

Could you connect your beginning first AF episode?
When I was first diagnosed in the hospital emerg with atrial flutter/fibrillation my heart that day had instantly started being around 140 bpm (brought down with IV medication). I was referred to a cardiologist. I’m 67 years old and after months of heart tests and blood tests everything was normal,

Personalized mRNA vaccine more

based on our current understanding of science and medicine, we have reason to be cautiously optimistic that mRNA vaccines, in combination with checkpoint inhibitors, might provide yet another incremental advance toward more effective cancer treatment.

Chemo (Docetaxel) with Prednisone
Hi all, Zytiga stopped working for me and I am castrate-resistant. After a failed clinical trial (immunotherapy) I started Docetaxel 2 weeks ago and was prescribed Prednisone (5mg twice per day). I seem to be very sensitive to the Prednisone....having trouble sleeping, feeling anxious, etc. even when

Could I stop taking Rivaoxaban?
I’ve been on Flecainide, Bisoprolol and Rivaoxaban now for 5 years and have a pacemaker, my heart is in sinus rhythm at 60bpm. I understand that Rivaoxaban is to help prevent blood clots forming, but as my AF is now managed could I stop taking it? I get frequent gum bleeds despite excellent oral hygiene

I have been in permanent Afib since May 23 and after adjusting to Bisoprolol have managed to maintain a reasonable lifestyle walking and running most days albeit a little slower at times. For the last month have been on Apixaban in readiness for a Cardioversion at the end of this week. I was originally

Hello all, my father’s oncologist has suggested we start looking into
clinical
trials
or chemotherapy now for his metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (metastasized to the coccyx/pelvic bone in 2019). The trial the oncologist suggested is in the title.
