    MyBB'ers in the United Kingdom & Ireland

    I was in a spot of bother recently. My wife passed suddenly over 2 years ago and all our funds were in SA on the stock exchange. Problem was that we had it all in her name and the account got frozen. The postal service was so slow and I became desperate for funds. A friend advised me to apply...

    MyBB'ers in the United Kingdom & Ireland

    Let's talk investment portfolios

    I don't do ETF's, cash, bonds and Topi. Mid caps are the future large caps. Stocks with a history of upward momentum will normally carry on doing so. This is my investment philosophy and it has done me very well since 2008/9. I retired in 2012 without a pension and lived off my stocks and still...

    Blood Pressure...

    My daughter gets tachycardia episodes for no reason. I bought her a Kardia 6 lead ECG machine that she used to record her episodes. It showed up as Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia as the P, R and T waves were all there in the appropriate places. She is now on a Beta Blocker that sort of helps by...

    Heart rate differed substantially between the two readings. This can happen if you have Atrial Fibrillation and are not aware. It will then also have inaccurate BP readings.

    Heart Rate

    Afib is so common and not as dangerous as you think. A large percentage of the population has Afib without even realising it or just live with it. It can affect adults of any age, but it is more common as people get older. In the over 65 year old age group, it affects about 10% of people...

    Heart Rate

    Atrial Fibrillation or Afib is quite common and not as dangerous as one may think. Your heart rate can vary between 40 and 240. Measuring the pulse at your wrist is not accurate if in Afib as the Ventricles can beat when empty if the Atrials are vibrating instead of pumping. . The actual rate...

    Heart problems.

    Many people on the British Heart Forum have rates below 50 and have no symptoms. My HB is normally around 50 during the day and at night it goes to 43. Any meds ending with "lol" will drop your HB by about 8 to 10 bpm.
