Hi all, New to the forum - Have been reading for some time. I am hoping someone might be able to help me here. Looking for opinions from fellow asthmatics mainly as thus far I haven’t been getting much hope from doctors. It’s a bit of a long post! I’m an asthmatic, have been since I was 7 (37 now)

Advice on daughter (10) 3 month cough? Asthma or Post Viral Cough? Or both?!
Hello, any help appreciated. My daughter is 10 and has terrible cough for 3 months. It was relapsing/remitting in severity, but worse now than before. She was diagnosed with asthma at 5 and has been hospitalised once. Mostly she is controlled on clenol and montelukast. We have access to Respiratory consultant

Latent TB Start of treatment
Hi, I have recently tested positive for TB after a blood test. I had the test as I have RRMS and I was due to start second year of a drug called cladribine which is an immunosupressant.

Hospital tomorrow
I have been sent an appointment to go for a CT scan tomorrow for my chest. I got the appointment in on Friday and phoned hospital today to make sure I had to go. They said yes. Now I'm not sure whether to go or not with advice given by government tonight about isolation. I've been given one also for

New emphysema diagnosis
Just had emphysema diagnosed following chest X-ray. Spirometer test next stop but likely to be a while given Covid-19. Told it is mild and I am still active 59 yr old, but I am a little anxious to understand how this might progress pending speaking to a medical professional whenever that might be. Any

No Dice - Back to Bath for Laura
Hi everyone, forgive me for disappearing, but this has been a bit of a saga, as you will see. Well, these are very weird and difficult times, so quitting my weekly train trips to London is a good thing. However, giving 6 months to the discomforts of the Dice Trial, only to have it fail, is pretty disappointing

Amiodarone rant...
Hi all, just need to have a rant! Last July I was admitted to CCU with an episode of Afib. A chest X-ray showed that I had mild infiltrates on my lungs and despite this and having COPD, they discharged me on amiodarone! My follow up appointment was for May - 10 months later! In February I became aware

Imaging at Low PSA
I was on Lupron + Casodex for a year for lymph node metastasis. In November 2019, I started ADT vacation. My last Lupron shot was in September, 2019. In February 2020, my PSA was 0.07 (slightly up from 0.06 in November 2019) and T <20. Today, I learned that my MO wants me to have chest X ray, Abdomen

Health Anxiety
Hi guys I'm new on this forum. I feel like I have to pour my heart out. I'm 29 years old and I've been having health anxiety since my childhood. I managed to take control over it for a long time but the last couple of weeks have been very very bad. It started mid January with the bones in my hands

1 month Ablation recovery diary
Hi all, thought this might help anyone considering an ablation to get an idea of the recovery to expect. It's not designed to scare, perhaps put your mind at rest if you're post ablation and getting symptoms. Of course, everyone's recovery is different and this is by no means representative of all outcomes

Why is my chest tight and breathing laboured but tests are all normal?
Hello! I'm new to this site and see that others over the past several years have posted having the same symptoms that I'm having, and I'm wondering if anyone figured out what this could be: for over 6 months I've had a persistent cough, occasional stuffy nose, tightness of chest and laboured breathing

Possibility of Lymphangitis Carcinomatosis as a consequence of HCC.
What is the possibility of Lymphangitis Carcinomatosis as a consequence of HCC? My father had TARE in September 2019 for his 9 cm right lobe tumour. Now he has extreme breathing difficulty. The latest PET CT shows no tumor uptake. Chest X-ray shows scattered opacities in the lungs. Doctors say likely
