Mystified and baffled.
New to this thought my breathlessness was to do with my heart after having a stent fitted 2yrs ago or even the meds in on.I had lung function tests in July results are now back as I can't get to see my g.p.yet does anyone know what these results mean. Hospital advise inhalers and rehab. Obstructive lung

transition from pramipexole to gabapentin
My GP initially prescribed me pramipexole which I have been taking for the last two months (one 88 microgram tablet) around 10 pm. This successfully stop my restless legs but, through this forum, I learned of the danger of augmentation. Having drawn this to the attention of my GP he agreed to switch

Ropinirole, Pramipexole and etc
Hi community, It's been years since I last wrote here as my RLS is quite mild. Few years ago it was quite under control even mild episodes. I used to take 0.25mg of Ropinirole (Adartel) in case of episode and it would work very well. I moved from London to Finland few years ago, and last year I started

Hey everyone I've had a bit of a social media break. I hope you are all okay Yesterday (30/09) marked a year since my heart attack. I can't believe it's been a year. Since then I've had a Cardiac Arrest and a stent fitted plus a case of pneumonia and I've started running again and I'm back at work (

funny turn
Hello all, About 18 months ago I had a stent fitted - didn’t have a heart attack - but every so often I have chest discomfort, like now. I vape quite a lot (ex-smoker). I’m pretty sure that my current bout of discomfort isn’t heart related but my mind is going bonkers and now I don’t know whether I

Tumor Lysis Syndrome
As a result of developing tumor lysis syndrome 2021 while in the hospital (receiving Ven,) my kidneys were affected. This week I will have a kidney stent removed and possibly replaced. Has anyone had a similar experience? The kidney stents will be done in a hospital.

CABG and Memory loss
Hi, it's six week since my triple bypass. My scar is healing well and I'm slowly recovering from the surgery. Two things concern me, my legs are still painfully swollen and causing discomfort the other is my short term memory is shot, I'd laugh at my forgetfulness but I'm beginning to find it scary.

post cabg tiredness
This year after my surgery l was dragging myself around tired first blaming the high dose metoprolol and that got reduced somewhat but it turned out l was iron deficient. I had 3months of iron pills and it improved slightly. Then l stopped taking them because they gave me diarrhoea and it dropped again
