An Embarrassing new health concern in addition to my raised BP.
I am now having to use at the moment 4 times daily a intermittent self-
catheterisation
SpeediCath contraption to empty my bladder. After only 1 week whilst not painful when inserting the tube I have developed I think cystitis even after following to the letter the cleansing instructions beforehand.

mobitz 2 and ASD but no treatment?
Especially given the
catheterisation
procedure is very straightforward. But I guess the Mobitz 2 is making me really nervous. Thoughts? Advice? Anyone in a similar situation especially with the heart block?

Angiogram and Right Cath.
I had previously asked my Cardiologist if they would do a right
catheterisation
as I have pulmonary hypertension and was told the right side off my heart was affected. He said yes I’m sure that will do that.

Bladder & Urethra Issue
RP 2007 and EBRT 2009. I've had intermittent hematuria for many years and on 3 occasions blood clots have caused obstruction and inability to urinate. I've learned to self catheterize in these situations which has usually resolved the issue after a few days. This time it's more severe. Heavy bleeding

How to get bladder to hold urine again? Bladder training?
Looking for guidance from others who have had to regain bladder function. I had a bad case of Radiation Cystitis along with hemorrhagic bleeding that sent me to the hospital multiple times for blocked urine flow due to clots, the last time being end of Jan 2023. After 20 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen

Transoesophageal echocardiograms - any experiences?
Last Wednesday I had a Right Heart
Catheterisation
to measure the pressures in my heart and lungs, then merrily went off skiing on Saturday (with my consultant's blessing!) hoping to forget about my recently-diagnosed Atrial Septal Defect and looming OHS.

Neurogenic bladder help!
Hi everyone! Male, looking for some advice on my bladder issues. I've been diagnosed 14 years ago and the last few years my bladder issues have been getting worse. I was on Tadalafil, Alfuzosin and Sildosin. I'm retaining 600CCs before I go and my urologist suggested intermittent catheterization. I've

MSA affected by Covid
My husband who is 5 years into this dreadful condition is currently in hospital due to COVID affecting his unstable blood pressure. Yesterday was such an awful day, my husband had several low blood pressure episodes, at one point his pressure was 43/31. He was fine when lying down but as soon as he tried

Has anyone had cardiac catheterization or heart surgery with GCA or PMR?
Hi everyone, in my last post I told you I was about to have an echocardiogram where they put a camera down your throat to get better pictures of the heart. That went fine except for very sore throat for about a week. Unfortunately they found multiple problems, all of which have appeared in the last year

TURP for prostate cancer patients
It’s more than 6 months since my last post. My dad took Lu-J591 in last August 2022 and I planned to share his experience if the result’s positive. Unfortunately, his PSA did not reduce and now it is 135. From last April, he had suprapubic catheterization because of urine retention. It makes him easily

Mitigating fall risk in hospital, after a traumatic brain injury
Using some sort of volunteer service so that he has somebody in the room with him 24 hours a day (may irritate him, he may not want them, and it may be difficult to arrange - or not exist at all) - Mild sedation at night (problematic from a human rights perspective, and not 'clinically' necessary) -

Can I drive home after an angiogram ?
I will be getting an angiogram next week including cardiac catheterization. The hospital is 50 miles from home with no direct public transport links. If I take my car, would I be fit to drive home afterwards ?

Taking Co-Amoxiclav before self catheterisation.
I am concerned about getting resistance to this penicillin drug. I catheterise about once every two weeks to keep a stricture open. This is about as far as I can extend the period between doing it else if I leave it longer I can feel the stricture has advanced too much and I hear it 'snapping' open when

I'm writing to add a soft warning to be mindful. I was diagnosed with GCA in 2019 and finally got down to single digits this summer, I'm taking 5 mg per day plus Actemra. I'm only dropping .5 mg every six weeks. It has been fairly smooth except the fatigue, I did nothing and was [i]so, so tired![/

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read my message. I inadvertently posted it in my bio/profile. So I won’t take too much of your time. I’m 57 and had my first heart attack at 27. The first one went undiagnosed, or misdiagnosed for five years, and was finally diagnosed by several cardiologist
