Anaemia or CLL? Time for re-referral?
Well...... over the past 3 years my wife has suffered Covid, Shingles, breast cancer and a
cardiac
arrest
in that order. Very traumatic, especially for a fitness ‘guru’.

What is an AED? 🤔
The first and often only symptom of a sudden
cardiac
arrest
is when someone faints. Sudden
Cardiac
Arrest
(SCA) is a condition in which the heart stops beating suddenly and unexpectedly due to a malfunction in the heart’s electrical system.

Dad not waking up from induced coma after Sudden Cardiac Arrest, What are his chances? Signs of 'waking up'?
My Dad is 54 years old and collapsed at work last Friday 03/03/2023 from Sudden
Cardiac
Arrest
. No symptoms, no chest pains, no warning signs. He is moderately fit, not a heavy drinker but is a heavy smoker and they found a blocked valve that had built up for months allegedly due to the smoking.

Stopping Amiodarone Because of Side-Effects
Given my history, and that amiodarone is the drug that stops me going into
cardiac
arrest
, I am a little nervous. The phrase, 'if a
cardiac
arrest
happens, your ICD will catch you' hasn't reassured me a whole lot.

My Sister's Death
My sister died suddenly from
cardiac
arrest
due to edema with heavy bleeding going on. The assisted living lady did not tell them my sister had family (just my daughter and me) so my sister went to a contracted funeral home as "unclaimed" on the 7th.

Synacthen Test looming in a moment...quick query
Morning all, I've been missing this forum due to events taking a turn for the worst. I'm at the lowest ever dose 5mg pred. Not been feeling well since January, loss of appetite, occasional vomiting, the worst insomnia and even more fatigued. Upper endoscopy showed 'sliding hernia' (gp's suggestion).

Struggling with husband's hypoxic brain injury
My husband had a
cardiac
arrest
4 years ago and was unconscious for a while. Although he's physically doing okay - gets tired but coping, still doing some work, he's really struggled emotionally with hypoxic brain injury symptoms.

fear of dying
my ongoing problem is I now have a fear of going into
cardiac
arrest
if I have an AF episode. I’ve kept this fear to myself and tried to bury my head in the sand. It’s not working. does anyone else feel the same. I’m 65 female.
