Open chest ASD closure
Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with large Atrial Septum Defect (ASD) last year, after an extremely long diagnostic journey. After my diagnosis I was seen by a cardiothoracic surgeon who in light of my age, decided to refer me to another Trust, in which I was supposed to have my defect closed via percutaneous

asthma & respiratory illnesses
Hi - I’m asthmatic and it’s always been mild for the most part (managed by salamol & clenil for my reliever and preventer). Whenever I get any form of respiratory illness it goes straight to my chest and I need steroids and antibiotics and have asthma exacerbations not really attacks. Since catching

Pneumonia and collapsed lung after catching the ‘100 day cough’
For all you folks who have Lupus, please be careful of this ‘100’ day cough that is going around at the moment, as this is what caused me to end up in hospital. I was diagnosed with Lupus in February 2022. I’ve had a rough ride for the past few years, ending up in hospital every year for one thing

More Challenges to Overcome!
Some of you may recall that for some years, I've frequently experienced ectopic beats. They've been calmed down with a lowish dose of a beta blocker (Propranolol) and don't usually give me too much cause for concern......until about a week ago when they re-emerged, but with a different manifestation

Ramipril
I thought I would share with you my experience of a cough due to ramipril in case it helps someone else as I didn’t believe it would cause such an awful cough. I was prescribed ramipril after having a HA in July last years. No side effects at all. I got an awful cold in November which also came with

Reassurance please
Hi, I have a diagnosis of an autoimmune thyroid condition. Went privately as NHS tests all within range on tests. Waiting on further bloods, which has been difficult to get done, so I can have follow up appointment with private GP for thyroid treatment. Appointment in July. In the interim I did see NHS

Feel like giving up.
For unknown reasons other than we think Rituxumab is not working for you any more my medication was changed to Kevzera (Sarilulmab) in November. The work up checks were done and good to go apart from a Chest X Ray as I hadn't had one for a while. A shadow area was found on my lung with suspected

Anyone Know About Silent Reflux
Following on from my experience of asthma flare up I'm wondering if like Cade in his post about breathing problems whilst exercising, if I could have silent reflux. It was shortness of breath that led me to seek medical treatment, and even though I had no wheezing or cough the hospital concluded it was

Link between breathing problems and hashimotos/hypothyroidism
So for many months now I had problems with being able to take deep breathes without feeling like I’m restricted. I can no longer do exercise as I just feel tight in the throat and chest. I’ve suffered with anxiety for years. Is there a link between breathing problems and thyroid. I’ve been to my gp and

Ex-THC Vape user with lung pains
I will just repost my Bio here. It covers most everything. I’m just looking for help and maybe (hopefully) reassurance. I’m 35, I have 2 beautiful kids. I just want to see them grow up.

‘Borderline’ term in X Ray test
Afternoon, I’ve just had a ‘borderline’ test result for a chest X Ray. I’m not sure what the ‘borderline’ bit actually means. Does it mean ‘slightly abnormal’ etc. Your words of wisdom would be appreciated. Have a good day!

My PMR journey is probably in reality nearer 3 years long. From actual diagnosis from the rheumatologist it is just over 2 years. I am currently taking 1MG of Pred a day. On Christmas Day I was admitted to hospital with a serious infection. This resulted from a UTI infection which the oral antibiotics
