hello to everybody! First time I’ve posted on any forum. I had a bout of breathlessness approx 2 years ago, with a chest infection. Had a chest X-ray & was told by Dr I have Copd. Was put on annoro ellipta with blue rescue inhaler. I am 61 years old, a self employed joiner by trade & still working.

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

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.

Pretty stressed
Hi lovely people. I have HF and a CRT-d. Been ok for a while but had to have a chest X-ray recently for another issue. It’s come back showing a trace of copd/bronchitis damage? The doc said if I start having symptoms they’ll give me an inhaler. One doctor said don’t worry about it but another asked

SWOLLEN ANKLES WITH LUNG CONDITION
Hi, This is my first post on here I think. Almost a year ago I was in hospital as I couldn't breath, felt like I was suffocating. I'd had a chest x-ray 6 months previous and was told my lungs were quite normal and my dr couldn't find a reason for my breathlessness. It did improve for a while, but came

Post covid asthma diagnoses
Hi there, I’d really like to hear from anyone who has been diagnosed with asthma after getting covid, or anyone with any thoughts! I got covid in feb 22 and since then have had several episodes of severe chest infections which always require antibiotics and steroids. I’ve check my inhaler technique

Radiation fears
Hi Everyone My Cardiologist has offered me a CT coronary angiogram to find out what may be causing my angina symptoms. My symptoms are moderate (no pain in the arm or jaw etc) with just a tightening in the centre of the chest with very brisk uphill walking. The discomfort is actually worse when i am

The Rheumatology Saga Continues!
UPDATE..... Was offered an NHS Rheumatologist appointment today due to a late cancellation and I thought I'd take it rather than wait until February to see my Benenden Rheumatologist. I met a Dr Chung and he was absolutely lovely.....spent 45 mins running me through everything and checking my results

Hyperinflated lungs
Hi everyone, new here, I'm in the UK. I recently had a chest x ray and was very surprised to here the results I am asthmatic, I do smoke but have managed to cut fine to 6 roll ups a day, I had done this before my chest x ray. Saw the Dr 2 weeks after the x ray and he just said my lungs are hyper inflated

Recurring chest infections and phlegmy cough

I was very sporty in my youth playing squash, badminton and tennis. I could go for very long walks with my dogs up until about 18mths ago. So I have always regarded

Pneumonia
Hi. I had my follow up chest x-ray for pneumonia 3 weeks ago and the good news is that it's come back clear. I'm really pleased but I'm still coughing at night and feel a bit breathless in the mornings. I told the doctor when he rang me with the results and he said, the infection has gone but lungs take

Mini Stroke Post Heart Attack
Hi folks Was just wondering if this has happened to anyone? I’ve had a couple of “funny turns” recently and a particularly bad one on Thursday evening which ironically was exactly one year to the day since my HA. Ended up in A&E all night getting various tests. ECG, bloods x 2 (initial troponin
