On the subject of BP, has anyone else here noticed that the old Hg column sphygmomanometer gives distinctly lower readings than the new electronic measuring devices?? I run at 120-130/80 on the old mercury column but 145/85 or so on the new-fangled stuff. My doc absolutely favours the mercury reading. Conspiracy theory wise I wonder if big pharma haven't got a hand in making sure the new meaby mwcf - AFIBBERS FORUM

Good point NLAMA - I should have noticed that thanks for pointing it out.by mwcf - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Kind of runs contra to everything in the mainstream medical world and media. And surely it is dependant to at least some degree on blood group? Meat suiting O types much better than others??by mwcf - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM

QuoteGeorgeN I've also listened to analyses suggesting there may be a material portion of the population with some kind of preexisting immunity. That would probably include me as I barely noticed anything with Covid 19 - just a slightly sore throat, a bit of mild conjunctivitis, slight nausea - just like I was coming down with something but in the end didn't. As such, I'm guby mwcf - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM

Great info thanks PC. No accident how the BAME community in the US have such low D levels and are worst impacted by Covid-19. Since the start of 2020 I've upped D as follows: 09.01.20 - baseline (first test) 29.2 ng/ml 30.01.20 - 47.2 17.02.20 - 52.8 05.05.20 - 70.4 10,000iu/day - EDIT that should be 20,000iu/day - for 8 to 12 days before each of the above tests.

Not great RR (No pun intended!). Please remind us: are you a Natale ablation guy? If so, how long ago? Was it your first or second? Very much hoping it was a fluke (albeit twice).... had/have you done anything or eaten/drank anything differently recently?by mwcf - AFIBBERS FORUM
Great post from a great lady and a shining star here on this forum for the last 20 years I've been here. Always patient and helpful and willing to provide sound advice both on and off-forum (when more personal). I've always agreed that the upside of AF is that it likely indirectly from an overall POV actually extends your lifespan (and particularly 'health-span' as George N sby mwcf - AFIBBERS FORUM
FWIW (probably not much) I have 1 x ApoE3 and 1 x ApoE4 (along with around 30% of the general population) and Covid 19 barely gave me any symptoms at all.by mwcf - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Yep. Thanks to Steve Carr this last 6 months I've increased my D level to 176 nmol/l (70ng/mL) and am maintaining it around that level with 5000iu/day. It hasn't eliminated ectopics like it did for Steve, but I'm sure the 20000iu/day I've been taking played a significant role in keeping my own recent (mid-March) run-in with Covid 19 to just a bit of a sore throat for a few dayby mwcf - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM

QuoteGeorgeN Some of my friends who think they've had it (includes a surgeon whose anesthesiologist tested positive) have had very variable temps, but typically not extremely high. At the beginning of this, my wife and I started testing SpO2, temp 2x a day, just for baseline. We live at 5,500' and SpO2 will drop with elevation.

Hi PC, Have you seen this article? < ; Implies that ACEis might actually increase initial infectivity but then be beneficial in later more serious stages of the disease. Hope you are keeping well. Like the CT BTW!

Hi George, A question about ginger please. What does this look like to you? Is not being standardised to 5% gingerols a problem? Is that dose too strong?? If you take a look at the options on Amazon.uk, what would your selection be please?? Hoping all good with you, Theresa and the family. Regards, Mikeby mwcf - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Looks like a good bet but tough/very expensive to get hold of any (and for aquarium use rather than human use at that). Plus UK has banned parallel export and hoarding of chloroquine from 14th March anyway.by mwcf - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Quotesafib The real risk is that if the infection rate is high, even if the above numbers come down there could huge numbers of cases requiring ventilator support, which will overrun the supply. 100% agree that's the big issue here. Here in the UK there are hardly any available beds for anyone requiring a procedure as it is before this hits.... My surgeon other half and I are seriously wonby mwcf - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Ghost, to follow Steve’s protocol you need to get from 31 to 66 and 3-5000iu/day won’t do any more than maintain you at 31 - please refer to Steve’s earlier posts above. Hoping you’re back in NSR by now.by mwcf - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Ghost, Hoping you convert to NSR soon. Do you know your current level of Vit D? I.e. have you got it up anywhere near 165 nmol/L yet??by mwcf - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Thanks for clarifying Steve - I vaguely recalled you mentioning as such but was too lazy to read back through all your posts to verify! Cheers, Mikeby mwcf - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Quotehwkmn05 Myself and those with Afib who are taking Vit D and limiting Calcium intake, are most likely on a Magnesium regimen which I believe is vital for D absorption. Are you on a magnesium regime Steve??by mwcf - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
