Hi I've been having palpitations and rapid heart rate on waking up for 3 months now. I'm sure it's down to medication but GP not convinced. I have had Anxiety but it happens without Anxiety too. I've had numerous ecgs chest x-ray and I'm currently waiting for 48 hour ECG I just wish I knew what was going

eosinophils, cough, alopecia
My health issue started first with alopecia back April 2021 when I noticed my mustache having a patch spot. Than slowly it spread all over mustache and beard towards Sept 2022. During that same time, I noticed hair start falling in clusters. Did not fall entirely but called diffuse alopecia. However

Hubby and his heart
My husband had bad flu over Christmas and since then has had huge issues with breathlessness, bloating, fluid retention and fatigue. He's had ECG's, MRI , chest x-ray and bloods. This has shown up that he has fluid around his heart as it's just not pumping properly, is severely anaemic and his vitamin

coughing up blood
Hi all Hoping you can alleviate my worry. I’ve recently had another infection and this time there were 2 bacteria’s in the sputum. I’ve been treated but still coughing up a very small amount of blood now and then. Is this normal for people with bronchiectasis? I had a chest X-ray a couple of months

Does anyone get upper abdomen pain that radiates through to the back ?
I have been having frequent back pain along with usual upper abdominal pain. This is particularly after eating mainly of an evening. I ended up in A and E 2 days ago after a really bad night of this constant pain. I had bloods done which doctors said were unremarkable plus a chest x ray which was clear

Multiple lung diagnoses: feedback please
hi. This is my first post here. I have televisit with my GP in june but meanwhile sitting on these CT scan results: mild emphesima, mild bronchiectasis, atelectasis and chest X-Ray says: hyperinflation. They are following a few nodules ( thus the CT scan) which are ok. Stable. And I have asthma. I

Worried
Thursday evening I started to get palpitations, they were mild to what I’ve had before so I (stupidly) didn’t go to hospital. They subsided after 2 hours but my heart continued racing over 100bpm so after a few more hours I went to a&e. They did an ecg and hooked me up to fluids and gave me a dose of

Hi, Thought I'd update what has happened since my last post. I have seen my rheumatologist twice now, given pred and was put forward for rituximab.

newly diagnosed with copd
hi I’m 67, female, as long as I can remember I get a cough after any cold virus, fatigue lasting a few weeks. I approached my GP a year ago as I was getting breathless during walking. I’m about a stone overweight. GP did chest X-ray, blood tests & ECG, all was ok. Fast forward to November I was having

15 year AF story
First episode of AF about 15 years ago. Heart rate ~155. Would sometimes reset itself. Initially fixed with Flecanide, then Amiodorone. Flecanide then inadequate and I suffered a very unpleasant fainting/blackout reaction to amiodorone when an IV drip was started in A&E. So further episodes sorted by

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

Ferritin
I have just had an Advanced Thyroid Test from Medichecks. My Free T4 and Free T3 may look good but I have been getting a return of my symptoms so have upped my NDT from 2.5 grains to 3. It is my ferritin which I am not happy about. Is it too low? I eat very little red meat which is probably why it is

Sleeping with ectopics
I have been getting ectopic beats for the last three weeks. At times it can be as many as 1 every 30 normal beats, at other times I don’t get one for hours. No idea what the triggers are. Already on BP meds, including Bisoprolol. Went to see GP last week, she sent me off to ED where an ECG, blood tests

Mycophenolate instead of Perfinedine or Nintenanib?
Hi everyone I became breathless suddenly in August 2023. This was initially dismissed by my GP even though O2 was 90% as my chest was clear and I had no cough. A fortnight later I was able to get an appointment with a different GP who sent me for a chest X ray which showed I had pulmonary fibrosis.
