Low Blood pH While on Ventilator
My husband has been in the ICU and on a vent for 4 weeks now due to Covid pneumonia. His vent settings are on 85% oxygen and 12 PEEP with a RR of 32. His oxygen levels are okay. This morning the pO2 was 87 and the monitor read 94. However, his CO2 remains very high (>90), which causes his pH to

Chronic back pain and pain relief?
Hi all Looking for some advice re pain killers for awful lower backache. I had a stent fitted in my LAD a year ago and on the usual meds ie Ticagrelor, Atorvastatin, Aspirin. Everything I read it seems I shouldn’t take ibuprofen only paracetamol which doesn’t touch the pain. Been seeing an osteopath

Ferritin levels
Finally managed to convince my GP to test my ferritin level. The result came back at 94 and from reading posts here, I note the level should be above 100. Could someone clarify please if Ferritin is the same as Ferrograd. I have been using Pregabalin 175mg for about a year and find the effects

Wellbutrin as an SSRI alternative?
Hi I'd be interested in hearing from anyone that has made a successful transition to wellbutrin from an SSRI and whether it has worked for them. My understanding is that this antidepressant does not aggravate RLS. I have tried to gradually taper off of Lexapro and was recently hit with unbearable anxiety

Lifestyle after stent.
Hi, I had a stent (LAD) 3 years ago no heart attack as symptoms were just tiredness. I am now 71yrs old and walk 5 miles daily. I am on diazapam 10 mg daily for over 40 yrs and that helps with any anxiety. I find it very difficult to stick with strict diets so basically eat what I did prior to the stents
