Progress - I think ....
HiApologies for the long post... Finally had a meaningful conversation with a GP at my practice (not my usual one but that didn't matter) & got results from CT scans. No blockages & 0 calcium so nothing to be alarmed about on that score. No further action required except to stop beta blockers. So

Does parathyroid hormone worsen osteoporosis?
I have just had a blood test and learn that my parathyroid hormone level is high/abnormal. (I learned from Google that the parathyroid gland is actaully nothing to do with thyroid level. It's so named because it is located in the neck behind the thyroid gland.) As I understand it the parathyroid hormone

Is anyone with CKD on Clonidine b/p drug?
I am stage 5, and had to be taken off Losartan because of hyperkalemia. My Neph gave me a new drug which I couldn't tolerate as it made my heart race. So she said maybe you dont need to be on a b/p med since that ofc visit it was only 130/xx. I subsequently had an appointment with my cardiologist

Sharing good news
firstly thanks for the great advice I got about what to expect at my first cardio appointment. after a period of time feeling breathless on exertion I got results of scans. my consultant said he was surprised that the results were so positive due to my many years as as a smoker. ( not smoked for ten

Need for Calcium supplements?
I have been on prednisolone for 10 months for PMR, recent flare at 7mg so now on 10mg until resolved. My Dexa scans show no significant bone loss, currently not taking any supplements. Should I commence them as still have some way to go on this journey!

Bisoprolol alternative to avoid cold extremities
Afternoon all, Despite 2 ablations my AFib episodes returned a year ago. Bisoprolol and flecainide seem to control it well, but I really struggled this winter with cold extremities. Despite plenty of layers, woollen socks, thick long skiing gloves I still have very cold fingers and toes. I tried
