A heartfelt goodbye and thank you 💚

Tysabri and the heart

Has anyone noticed any heart problems whilst on Tysabri? I started having episodes of heart palpitations/irregular heart beats after my 4th infusion but my doctor dismissed it, that it’s not a side effect of the infusion just a coincidence… has anyone had anything similar? Thank you!

Wondering if it is MS related or (shocker) COVID vaccine related? maybe it'll go away if it's MS, but should I worry? It feels like a squeeze on my heart, and some...

Tecfidera and increased heart rate

Hi all, I started Tecfidera several weeks ago I am now on full dose. Since a couple of days my heart rate is really high. Went to the GP and he gave me some beta blockers to decrease the heart rate , my GP suspects that the stress is the cause. Is there anyone who experienced this with Tecfidera?
