Can a pacemaker help with breathing?
I have severe Emphysema and last year had heart failure whilst in A&E. Was on life support for 4days then critical care for 4days and remained in hospital for 1 month. One year on I have had a pacemaker fitted which should stabilise my heart rhythm and help my shortness of breath. Has anyone experience

Chronic Kidney Disease
My mother is 80, and last year she had a GFR rate of 26, this year she had a blood test and the following day several of her medicines were stopped without a reason being given. She also hasn’t drank the recommended fluid amount every day either, only about 1.5ltr. Lorsartan, Furosemide, Apixaban were

Wondering about protein in urine
Hi, I have been loosing anywhere from 300mg to 800mg of protein in my urine per 24 hours for about 4 years now. My creatinine and GFR and all other markers are always perfect (thank God). I'm wondering how my kidneys are showing damage (by the proteinuria) but my blood tests are always perfect. I do

Has anyone stayed at a steady elevated creatinine level for a long time?
I am at 1.4 and have a creatinine clearance of 136.6 I am 22 and my doctor says my level is normal. But my creatinine has been 1.54 and 1.7 in the past. So I am confused. Any feedback is appreciated.

Any experience using herbs for A Fib?
Interest in herbs causing prolongation of Q T interval. Example of prolongation is found with grapefruit juice or passionflower. Foxglove (digitalis) has been used for years for cardiac failure. I have particular interest in anyone with experience of Yerba Santa or its flavanoid (sterubin) & any cardiac
