Heart and Vascular diseases- heart failure INR jumped from 2.5 to 3.1 after medication altered
Thanks skid112 for some good advice and on the site too. My mum's fainting feelings have stopped and she has introduces a little spinach to her diet every second day to see if her next inr reading gets closer to her former 2.5

Palpitations/strong heartbeat
Hi Who else gets them? My heart is constantly thumping really hard. My blood pressure and heart rate are both normal. When I am lying down i can feel my heart pounding. It's nothing to do with my inhaler because I get it any time of day and even when I haven't taken any sort of inhaler for over 12

Peritoneal Dialysis
I would just like to share my experience with peritoneal dialysis. If you haven't read my previous post introducing myself, here a shorter version. I started off with emergency hemodialysis due to high blood pressure. Once my blood pressure was stabilized I was able to get my surgery for my catheter

The Liver and carbs
I have recently been introduced to this woman and find her YouTube lectures fascinating. I have chosen to take what I want and sit on the fence with some of what she says. My recent diet change borrows from Atkins and from Paleo. https://youtu.be/KAGEhkZ-ssY I watched one on Salt the other day and

Aortic stenosis
I had chemo and high dose radio therapy 23 years ago and I now find myself with heart and lung failure as a direct result. I am suffering with Severe aortic stenosis and COPD but I am trying CBD (cannabis oil) to relieve the pain and palpitations. Is there anyone else that has been through similar.

Diagnosis and possible discharge
Hi everyone! Still in hospital and on 5 ltres O2, but the results are back and it turns out that I’ve had an early Christmas present from my 2 and 3 year old grandchildren, known as Respiratory Syncitial Virus, (the illness that is, not the grandchildren). They just sneeze all over you, rub their snotty

COPD - benefits
Hi Sorry if this has already been asked I have just been diagnosed with COPD 3 weeks ago and stage 2 respiratory failure. Does anyone know how I'd go about claiming benefits or anything. I do work part time as a cleaner and I'm worried the cleaning products will affect my breathing. Any help gratefully

're dental work
I am writing to let you all know that I have had my two teeth out, with little or no bleeding! I stopped taking my Riveroxoban on Tuesday, 3 days before the extraction, as I previously had implants and had horrific bleeding. I have AF and had an ablation 8 years ago. It worked well for a few years and

Dark circles after transplant
Hi everyone A while after my transplant the area around the eyes got considerably dark, similar to before the surgery. This was more pronounced when I was taking oxycodone. Now that I no longer take oxycodone, I still have dark circles but they're not as noticeable as before. The medications I'm on currently

Is it more in the DNA than we think?
This is a question for the experts but even they need some data to go on so here is my point: Reading the forum highlights a wide variation in starting point for COPD. There are some who have been diagnosed in their 40s (even 30s!) and others not until, like me they are in their 60s. It is also the case
