You're listening to season 2 of the Penny's Hill Practice podcast! We are back after an a small break! Welcome back!
In this episode, Dr Geoff Hamp and Dr Sam McGinley look at atrial fibrillation.
Did you know that if you have atrial fibrillation you are 5 times more likely to have a stroke? And that 1 in 5 strokes in the UK are caused by atrial fibrillation? However, if your atrial fibrillation is diagnosed, there is medication that can reduce that risk?
Sounds easy, doesn't it? But what are the symptoms of atrial fibrillation? How would you know you have it? And just how do you take your pulse accurately?
Well, in this episode we will cover these questions and more!
To have a look at Arrhythymia Alliance's Know Your Pulse campaign, have a look at their site here.

In this episode, Dr Geoff Hamp and Dr Sam McGinley look at acne, a condition that has probably affected all of us at one stage or another, but also one that can cause great anxiety and issues with how people feel about themselves.
We will tell you the best things you can use and try at home, the things definitely not to try, dispel some of the common myths around acne (does chocolate give you acne?), and explain what treatments we can use to help you with your acne. We also discuss what happens next if despite all these treatments, we still cannot control your acne.
We will cover the topic of acne rosacea in another podcast.

Chronic Kidney Disease, or CKD, is a common condition and can affect anyone. It can get worse over time and eventually it can cause the kidneys to stop working. We discuss the stages of CKD, how we test for it, how we treat it, what you can do to help prevent it or stop it from worsening, and acute kidney injury.
