Elevated Liver Enzymes
Hello everyone, hope you are doing well. I just recently had LFT, 3 enzymes came back a little elevated. Alt was 52, Alp was 121 and GGT at 72. Ast according to the lab was normal at 35. CBC was all good too, ANA was negative, kidney function test was normal as well. All the other protiens and enzymes

SOC & PSA
Three months post RT, my RO ordered a non-ultrasensitive PSA test with a lower limit of "<.1". I see posts of folks considering an increase from .02 to .06 a PSA doubling - obviously which would not be observable with my PSA test. This makes me wonder why: 1) Is there any good reason why an ultrasensitive

Weird leg pain
Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this weird symptom! For almost 10 years now I have had pain in my outer calf about two inches up from my ankle on both sides. It comes on with the slightest exertion but is not there all the time. The achy pain builds and builds until I feel like

Low Dose Aspirin for Heart Disease
My cardiologist wants me to take a daily low dose aspirin, but I am hesitant as I have a history of proteinuria. I know the studies are inconclusive as to whether or not it helps (and even my cardiologist admits that), but I have a bad valve and my risk is moderately high for sudden death/stroke. I'm

Worried
I am a 41 year old male. I have always drank but only ever lager. Maybe 2 cans a night after work each night in the week and 7 or 8 cans on a Friday and a Saturday. Was getting little twinges under my right ribs and in my side so haven't drank for 2 months but the twinges are still there. Not painful

Warfarin
Has anyone experienced Warfarin failing you more than once? I have had three different instances where I had large clots in my lungs while on it. I am still on it (after my coverage from work denied paying for Framing injections - the only anticoagulant that hasn't failed me). Just wondering if this

I NEVER LEARN
Hello everyone, It's 5:44 AM in California and the paramedics have just left. I called them as while lying in bed I felt nauseous, and stomach felt odd so I put my oximeter on my finger and watched it go down to 29 and then back up to baseline HR for me of 50 and it really freaked me out but I tried

Hypothesis XIIII
Pretty much all

do not lead themselves to simple testing leading to better treatment. The promise of individualized treatment would accept the 1mg EOD concept. It is also possible that a lower concentration would be more effective.

Becoming mCRPC despite falling PSA
Hey guys, I got a question regarding my dad. He was diagnosed in summer 2022 with stage 4, Gleason 4+4, PSA of 122 and many osteoblastic bone metastases throughout the whole skeleton (very high volume) He did the triplet therapy, which lowered his PSA to 0.4 (January 2023). Scans afterwards stated

update on switching to digoxin from lopressor
Stopped digoxin this am and starting back on lopressor. bad heartburn and nausea just kept getting worse. Lots of hydrating and will explore ablation. Really felt sick on digoxin. Although don't feel generally great this was really not a good experience.

Puzzling Tachycardia

Slowly Reducing Antiarrhythmic medications
I had an abalation just on 3 months ago. After the first month my EP advised I can start reducing my medication which is Flecainide and Dilitiazem and he did not need to see me anymore. I am now taking 50mg Flec. and was initially taking 100mg. By July I should be medication free. I have had some

Advice, please!
Over the past four months I’ve had a very painful knee. I have a doctor’s appointment next week. I suspect it is osteoarthritis (I’m 68). I’m also aware that other joints, particularly my shoulders, are also aching, especially when I get up in the mornings. I am taking 60 mg Lixiana, 1.25 mg Bisoprolol

Heartburn from Digoxin
On Digoxin 2 plus weeks. Blood level fine. Am having constant heartburn/nausea. My Dr said not a usual side effect. Tough it out? or go back on Lopressor which had its own side effects. Many say it will get better. Permanent persistent afib.

Has anyone tried Inclisiran in place of Statins
My doctor is keen to reduce my cholesterol as it is 7.3 and I can't/wont take statins. I also have problems with palpitations so can't even raise my levo. I am a bit worried I am developing a heart condition too. I am just waiting for a blood test and xray before I go back to the doc who has suggested
