Is it my lungs or PMR
I have gone back in my memory trying to figure out when my issues all began and in what order. I believe my PMR started in early 2019 when preparing for a dog show (possibly sooner and I just blamed it on old age LOL). Muscle weakness and shortness of breath were new to me. Over the next several months

What is an ablasion procedure is it safe?
Diagnosed with AFIB, cardiologist has suggested for me to look into ablasion proceedure. Taking Eliquis but an expensive drug to be on. Research shows this proceedure with ablasion only 70% successful to put heart back in a normal rhythem? Has anyone had this proceedure done?

Newly Diagnosed
Hello, I’m new to this forum and was only diagnosed with SLE in late December. I’ve also got secondary triple positive antiphospholipid antibodies. I’m 26 and I’ve always lived a very active/outgoing lifestyle and have always tried to be healthy so it I’m finding it all a bit difficult to process.

Amiodarone again...loading dose?
I'm reluctantly back on Amiodarone ahead of a cardioversion in the next few weeks. I had an ablation five weeks ago and have been in AF for the duration.When I was originally on Amiodarone (before a successful carioversion) I started on a high loading dose. This time its 200mg once a day, the maintenance

Tachycardia
Hi. After six months clear of af it suddenly came back last month. It seems to bother me every day since. I’m on Bisoprolol 10 and flecainide 50.x 2. Also became tachycardic. Spoke to gp who agreed I could increase flecainide to 2 x 100. Made me very breathless so reduced it again. I’m mostly tachycardic

ET Increase in Platelets Linear or Random?
I've had ET since my early 30s and my platelets seem to be increasing by a set amount each year, I'm now in my 40s and platelets are at 900. It seems like I should be able to plot that and figure out when its going to get to a worrying level. So I guess I'd like to know at what level will I need to

Lupus Diagnosis
I haven't been online for some times, perhaps years. I don't think I have posted since losing my Mum in August 2021 and then I lost my Dad last year June. My health, not surprisingly, has been all over the place and under the following hospital departments: Lupus Rheumatology, General Rheumatology -

occasional AF
My husband has recently had several bouts of AF lasting just a few minutes each. Heart rate only slightly raised. He is 72, pretty fit and not overweight. Had an ECG at the doctors which didn't detect AF. GP just said to leave it but call an ambulance if happens again and he is breathless. Is this how

Multaq Side Effects
Been on 400mg of Multaq bid for a month now and have had few issues with it so far but what I have noticed is that an hour or so after taking it I become extremely fatigued to the point I have to lie down for a nap. Is this something others have experienced? I was on Amiodarone for 6 months and had zero

Carvedilol and Urso bowl changes
I’ve been on cavedilol medication since May 2023 and Urso since 2022, up until a few weeks ago I’ve suffered a lot of dioreah which started when at the same time when when the Dr prescribed me ferris sulphate for low iron. I know this has a lot of gastric issue so stopped that a week ago. I still have

3 years post successful PVI RF Ablation
Had my three year check up, ECG, Holter monitor, PM diagnostic, echo and full bloods.All good. No AFIB since ablation. BP good. PM has many years left. Only meds 15mg zarelto and 40mg micardis. Still have not got back to as much energy as I would like, maybe just getting old.

varices grade 2
My consultant physician did a surveillance Gastroscopy which showed 2 varices grade 2, as I was taking Carvedilol twice daily he has decided no further action is required. Having had a burst varice in the past which put me in hospital for a week. I am confused to why he’s decided not to band them surely
