Hi, it’s the exact problem that I have, it was going down to 42 then straight back up to 120 about 3 times a day, I had a 7 day holter monitor. When the results came back the cardiac nurse said there was nothing to worry about because my average pulse was fine but they put me on beta blockers. My pulse is still the same but nothing to worry about, that’s what they told me.

Thank you Jan

the shortness of breath is a nightmare. There always seems to be something wrong with me, I am having trouble with Cystitis, my water keeps coming back clear and I am in agony, being stressed all the time doesn’t help.

Thanks Jan

When the cystitis symptoms happened … many years ago…. But all tests clear…

It turned out to be thrush…., probably caused by antibiotics…… use Canistan products regularly and it might sort out the cystitis symptoms… surprised me but thankfully after intensive 14 days it sorted…. Then just use occasionally when symptoms persist.

Hope it helps…

Thank you so much, I will definitely try them as I am still in agony but they won’t give me antibiotics as my water is clear.

Thank you Jan

Check it's not vaginally dryness caused by lack of estrogen. There are creams to help. Ask your GP if they can recommend a cream that would help. You may need a cream without estrogen which are better if you have estrogen positive breast cancer. Good luck. Hope you get this sorted as must be so horrible for you x
