Is My Resting Heart Rate Too Low?
Hi First time poster here. I am 62 had an angioplasty following a heart attack last month, with a single stent being fitted. I was reasonably fit through walking beforehand, and have been enjoying daily walks since the procedure, gradually building up my range on the flat, so I am very pleased at what

Long-term health of bypass grafts.
Hi, Feel slightly fraudulent as I’m fit and healthy, after a bypass in 2016, but I’m just curious for any insights / opinions re one niggling question. I do fairly intense cardio every other day (mostly) and my BMI’s at the top end of normal. For my age - 61 - I’m fairly fit. My question is: do those

What really happened?
Apologies in advance for this ramble on something which is probably not a very comfortable topic on this forum but it's something I have been wondering about for some time and I just thought I'd ask you guys for any thoughts you may have. In August 2022 I had an angiogram which didn't go well and resulted

Since having another stent, new AFib meds, and two units of blood he has completed radiation but it's still so very weak. He's

Dapagliflozin side effects
I had a heart attack and stent fitted over Christmas 2022 and have been on a cocktail of drugs since then but feel in good health. I went for a follow up angioplasty a couple of months ago and it was found that the heart attack had caused permanent damage to my heart (apparently now only 30% efficient

Restless Legs Syndrome
I have RLS and take codeine 15mg at night. My ferritin level got too high last year so no longer on iron supplements. Wondering how successful ALA is and if it is what dose and what time to take it. Thanks in advance

Dialysis / RLS
Wow, this sub is a lot more active than the Kidney Disease sub, one would think it would be the other way around. I guess RLS is a lot more prevalent than people think? I never experienced or even heard of RLS before starting dialysis but boy did it hit me hard. It's already hard to sleep while doing

Link between dry eyes and throat and PMRGCA? Any ideas?
This is my first post, so it’s a bit long-winded, as I’ve included some context and background. Context: • About 20 years ago, when I was in my mid-50s, I developed dry eyes and dry throat. This was eventually diagnosed as ‘dry eye/dry throat syndrome’. I had my tear ducts plugged to minimise loss

CARBIDOPA 25/LEVODOPA 100MG TAB For RLS
I know this drug was talked about in relation to Parkinson's. My doctor has prescribed it for my RLS when I travel in an airplane. I am only to take no more than 3 tablets per week. Has anyone used this for traveling? Any help? Side effects? Comments, please.

Ropinirole withdrawal
Hi all, newbie here. I was prescribed Ropinirole about 6 months ago, in May my ankles started to swell and got burning sensation in my feet. Saw GP again and he said it is probably diabetic neuropathy but my sugars are well controlled, anyway he put me on amitriptyline. Either of these meds was making
