Peak flow readings
Good morning all. I’ve recently been diagnosed with Heart Failure and I’ve been asked to use a peak flow meter to check my lungs. Over the last week my average is around 575 (I’m a 6ft - 68 years old- male). I think this is ok and shows my breathlessness is caused by my Heart Failure. My question is

CAPD and PAIN
Hi My First post here, sorry if I screw up. I had a standard CAPD line inserted and then all training and a Baxter machine to receive APD. But the line never worked very well. The doctors decided that it was because I am so tall (6'2" is not that unusual?) Anyway the faulty line was removed and a

Low T3 identified in deaths from heart attack
Our findings confirm the importance of testing thyroid function in these patients, as already recommended by the guidelines on diagnosis and management of [acute heart failure],” the researchers concluded. “In addition, future studies should be considered to evaluate the treatment of selected patients

Others that i have met on the liver unit that were transplanted around the same time as me, December 2019, or

Any advice welcome.
Hi, is there anyone like me that when diagnosed with heart failure had to lose over 100lbs in weight? Would love to hear tips for how to get safely started with exercise. I'm worried as I am so inactive that any form of exercise is going to make me worse as my anxiety is also bad at present.

failure
had any renewal or seen an increased kidney function over recovery time. If so , how many months after diagnosis. I have had another vasculitis flare up and back on a shed load of steroids.

Existing heart failure drug may treat potential COVID-19 long-hauler symptom.
In a new study out of University of California San Diego School of Medicine, researchers found a drug used for heart failure improves symptoms associated with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, otherwise known as POTS. This complex, debilitating disorder affects the body’s autonomic nervous system
