After starting a low dose of Eltroxin, I showed signs of AFIB nine months later and a 2% chance of stroke. Do I work with the endocrinologist and avoid the advice of cardiologist, or visa versa. Even with the GP following both reports, all three doctors are on different pages. Am I wrong to feel like saying no to more meds as Im confused with who is right or wrong. And btw...my cat was sleeping on my chest while hooked up to the 72 hours of wearing the monitor. Was it 220 BPM from the cat… read more
I would work with the cardiologist and get insight from the endocrinologist. Your heart keeps you alive, there are other meds out there to use. Don't want to lose you now that you are here..........
I am not familiar with the drug, get opinion of an electrophysiologist, might help you decide what to do.....they specialize in electrical of heart......and should work with cardiologist.
Tell Drs. everything
Hope you get answers you need❤️
If you have a other wise healthy heart A Fib is very common in older people.However please listen to your cardiologist and the endocrinologist both.If they are not working together there is a problem.My cardiologist is my boss concerning heart and different meds i take.The rest i listen to as well ....but again cardiologist is my boss.

I spend most of the day yesterday in emerg going through tests again. I had a major run in with the cardiologist who kept saying I was very sick and was having 'mini strokes'. Im on blood thinners???because the doctor says "you will get blood clots and die", OH PLEASE. So he said to head to emerg and get the tests which I did, Nothing new. Two days off the pills and I never felt better. But not being stupid about this and today took the blood thinner first thing. Not sure about the other pill for reducing the speed of the heart. Its at 85 bpm this morning. I will watch the numbers and make a decision on that pill as the day goes on, Im reacting to pills and they give me headaches..."strokes or ongoing issues from car accident five years ago"??? Just dont know.
Thank you for all the comments...I really like being here and glad Im not along. I want to live at least another 30 years (which will take me to at least 100. My goal is to hit 116 years because hubby and I are restoring a 200 yr old plantation house and I figure it will take till then to finish this project...lol Everyone on our team, have a great day...Stay Safe...Stay home
Posted a picture of a litter visitor this morning. Today she is welcome...tomorrow maybe not especially if she is eating my tulips lol
how you doing? 220 probably makes you really tired and wornout. It has been a few weeks since you wrote this.. are you doing better?
