Extreme dizziness
After a ridiculously fast episode of AF, I ended up in resus, and then back onto a ward a couple of weeks ago, due to acute heart failure. I stopped taking Bisoprolol several months ago, because it dropped my heart rate down into the 30’s, but while I was in hospital they convinced me that it would

SpO2 dropping
I was diagnosed with Asthma/COPD several years ago and whenever my GP checked my SpO2 readings they were always 99/98. I have had no debilitating breathing problems until recently.... I bought a Pulse Oximeter a couple of months ago as I was waking up with a strange sensation of restlessness, like I

Kidney Transplant after Liver Transplant
HI Has anyone had to have a kidney transplant after having a new liver. My husband had a liver transplant in Nov 2017 and his kidneys do not seem to have recovered. Worst case scenario is a kidney transplant which is freaking him out. Would be grateful for any advice?

Can someone give me some advice.
I got on this forum because of my niece. She is the one that has the kidneys failing. She is in the hospital and just started dialysis. The dialysis is not cleaning her blood. They want to do a blood transfusion. The question is will this change the results of a kidney transplant, will the new kidney

Drop in haemoglobin
I had a phone call from my Gp today to say my anaemia has deteriorated. My usual level is 106 and it’s dropped to 94 for no apparent reason. I have stage 4 kidney failure, no dialysis yet and Vasculitis. I take iron tablets and Aranesp injections to increase my Hb levels. I’m waiting for Addenbrookes

Confused
My blood test in December 17 showed gfr 65 and creatinine 83. In Jan 18 gfr 62 and creatinine 87. I paid privately for a kidney scan and the doctor said both my kidneys are a good size and look healthy. My bp us low to normal and I'm not diabetic. My gp says there is absolutely nothing to worry about

Taken 10mg Promethazine for sleep for just over 3 years. Saw post here about risk of dementia, can’t find it!
I am worried about the risk with Promethazine. Only saw it on here in last few days and can’t find it now! Also any advice? Thanks

Kidney diet
Hello, this is my first post on this site. I lived with a cadaver kidney transplant for almost 30 years. I am now on hemodialysis. Does anyone know how much potassium and phosorus is recommended per day? Thank you,

My heart of my anxiety.
After my yearly ECG in the surgery I was told I had AT and put on Warfarin last summer. I was already on Bisoprolol having been told I had developed heart failure 5yrs ago. I read about AF episodes, what exactly do they feel like??. I frequently feel a laboured rusty purring in my chest, does anyone

T3 and heart rate
Hi all I’ve been having problems with a really low heart rate. It did improve when I first went on T4 but only briefly. I have read online that T3 is needed by the heart and bradycardia is common in hypothyroidism if T3 is not converting. Does anyone else have a similar problem that was helped by T3

A boost for all you young AFers
I will be 84 years next Thursday and two years ago spent my 82nd birthday in Harefield having an ablation. I hope two years is long enough to tempt fate and say I feel cured. Yes I am breathless but that is probably my asthma or my aorta dissection plus a little heart failure contributing to the breathlessness

Can we develop a useful formula for calculating what is an acceptable heart rate for an individual in AF? (when to seek medical attention)?
Hello, As we have so much experience and knowledge on this site as patients and as medical professionals, I wonder if putting our heads together on this could be productive for doctors and patients. Given that once in AF a high heart rate may persist for many hours, even days, it would be useful to

ABG (Blood gas test) yesterday.
Hi all. Following a CT Scan on lungs and heart, my doctor informed me that it showed that I have the usual COPD scarring on my lower lungs plus the onset of heart failure, this despite two blood tests for heart showing clear. This didn't really surprise me due to the recently acquired painful swelling
