Renal Arterial Stenosis

I am reeling after discovering I have very severe RAS, I think caused by undiagnosed hypertension.

Does anyone out there have this or has had treatment for it? I regret looking on Dr. Google.

Hello :-)

I am sorry no one could relate to your post at this moment and I have not been diagnosed with what you have but know the feeling of been diagnosed and how it makes you feel

Please try not to look on Google anymore but ask your Doctor anything you need to know instead :-)

I hope you are feeling a little better now than you did :-) x

That is so kind of you. I do feel totally despairing at the moment. My GP is not approachable unfortunately. But I really do appreciate your kind words and for bothering to reach out. Thankyou.x

Hello :-)

I am sorry your Doctor is not approachable that is not helpful at all and I feel for you

I hope after this diagnosis you have appointments lined up with the Hospital

Another thought which might help is giving the BHF Nurses a phone call they are very knowledgeable and maybe able to give you some really good advice :-)

Let us know how you get on :-) x
