NHS HEALTH CHECK HAVE YOU HAD ONE?
Adults aged between 40 and 74 in England invited for this health check. Local Authorities in charge of it seems it's a public health programme aimed at preventing and identifying individuals at high risk of developing or having heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, type 2 diabetes and certain types

What a day
Pete has had some heart pain which he thought was angina and kept taking his tablets. Doctor at his cardio appointment today thinks it could be the stents that are failing (had heart attack with 3 stents 6 years ago) or it could be the sarcoidosis so Pete will have to have an MRI scan of the heart. If

I have just been diagnosed with bi pulmonary emboli and can't understand why I have got this.
I am a very fit, slim 52 year old woman. Never smoked, low cholesterol, low blood pressure and its not in the family. I have had flu and chest infection for 4 weeks and wonder if this has caused it.

NHS Health checks? 'helping you prevents heart disease, stroke, diabetes and kidney disease'. comments?
NHS HEALTH CHECKS Every person in England between 40 and 75 is going to be offered an NHS Health Check, 'helping you prevents heart disease, stroke, diabetes and kidney disease'. Essentially it involves checking your weight, height, blood pressure and cholesterol -with a diabetes and kidney blood test

To everyone who mentions the fear of dying. I have this awful fear as well and think about it most of the time.
Whenever I get a stomach ache (sometimes happens with females before a heart attack) or chest pain I am sure it is a heart attack and really expect to die. Also at the moment I am getting pains down the right side of my stomach in different places. Despite an ultrasound no reason has been found so far

At present, patients undergo an emergency operation called an angioplasty immediately after the attack when doctors insert a thin tube – a stent – into the blocked

Acetylcysteine - anyone taking it?
I have been prescribed Acetylcysteine to help 'liquify' my chest! Apparently to thin out what might be deep in y chest and hard to cough up. Does anyone else take this and if so, what are the effects? I sometimes feel like I'm going to choke when my chest is loose as I cough so much but it won't come

Stroke risk
Reading some of this forum has made me quite worried about stroke risk. My EP seems confident that I am ok on aspirin and I have taken the online stroke risk test and I come out zero. Bot the opinion on here seems to be that we all should be on warfarin, Is this the case or does my age (50) and
