Enlarged Prostate
I have an enlarged prostate and I am trying to determine if I should be taking medicines or have a procedure such as TURP. I would like to get some experiences of people that have taken Flomax or other medicines to reduce the prostate size. I have an allergy to sulfa, what makes me a little nervous about

10k or bust
this week my daughter and I decided we will run the Rotherham 10k on May 19th. Every year we as a family raise money for the hospital special baby care unit. This is because my 2nd granddaughter died there aged 7 weeks of sepsis. Ironically the same thing that killed my wife. So today I walked 10k!

Does anyone have any feedback on Wegener's Gramgranulomatosis?
I have Wegener's and it has primarily affected my eyes and lungs. I've been on rituximab and 25mg methotrexate for two years but I have a host of issues from taking the rituximab.

Diagnosis
Hello, my first post 😁 I have had Tinnitus for many years. I live with it and I cope well most of the time. No one has ever looked at my ears apart from my GP. He looked in my ears and said 'yes you just have a bit of wax' you probably have Tinnitus' I complain of pain I frequently get in my right

DVLA eye test result
Two days ago I posted about waiting for my result of my eye test and was anxious it would drag on. On the 13th December I went to see my consultant, I made it obvious I was not happy with the lack of support during and after covid and that I knew my eyesight had deteriorated because of it. Two weeks

Hand grip training for lowering blood pressure?
Good morning all you helpful people. I’ve just heard a fascinating thing on the Zoe podcast, about hand grip strength and high blood pressure. Apparently, using a hand-held device to strengthen your hand grip over several weeks can effectively lower your blood pressure. I’ve had a look online, and it

Fear of getting ill (nosophobia)

Recommendations for overcoming dizzy episodes?
I have Tinnitus and Pulsatile tinnitus, since summer have had intermittent muffled ears, bit of dizziness. Past 3 weeks have had 24/7 clogged muffled ears like I've got my entire head wrapped in cotton wool and then in a box. What as really hit me hard is the swoosh of dizziness that suddenly hits

Hi All Has anyone had any experience of the above for TED? Been offered this or intravenous Methyldprednisolone.

Seeking advise about an implantable loop recorder.
I am a 72 year old male in good health. I had persistent AFIB for many years – probably caused by 40 years of alcoholism. Four years ago, I quit drinking after a mild stroke and began exercising religiously and adhering to a healthy diet. A little over a year ago I had an ablation done, and now I take

Rivaroxaban
Happy New Year everyone! Just wondering if anyone else has any side effects from Rivaroxaban? I'd been taking 20mg per day since 2017 with no noticeable side effects. I not only have AF but Bronchiectasis as well. Needed to put a sputum sample in for testing and carried this out in the usual way
