diagnosis
Could I, ask about the diagnosis I have Emphesyma (mild) I keep getting conflicting advice. my question is can Emphesyma be diagnosed by a chest x-ray only or by ct scan, or should it be both? Rang BLF nurse for the answer & she didn't know but said a lot of people get the wrong diagnosis, Thanks for

Pain around heart and shortness of breath anxiety?
So I have being experiencing some days with a bit of chest tightness and shortness of breath for about 2/3 weeks. Up until recently never had any issues (other than ibs) so it was a bit of a concern. I have a couple of times struggled to get a breath and then start panicking, getting hot and struggling

I am running out of options...
I stumbled upon this site during my search for options and I could really use some advice... I am a 22 year old active female and I have recently suffered through two episodes of what seems to be like a stroke but I am unsure. I have no health issues and I am very active involving rock climbing, hiking

Suspected asthma but no wheeze
I have been suffering with a cough for 2 months. It is worst at night, waking me from sleep and when I exercise. I saw a nurse about 5weeks ago and she suspected asthma. My peak flow was only 220, about half of what it should be. I was given a blue inhaler to relieve symptoms. I used this frequently

How many chest infections is normal?
How many chest infections and/chesty coughs does everyone get per year? A bad year and a normal year. I know our lungs are a weak spot obviously for asthmatics but I have just felt so rubbish for most of the last 12 months. I had a break from it during our heat wave this summer and with the first lot

Prolapsed uterus - bowel movement?
Hi eveyone, well its been a while. Thoracic surgeon pleased with my recent chest x-ray and lung function test - hurray! but, that's about the only good thing. Not been feeling great since Rheumatologist took me off mycophenolate mofetil. My wrists, hands, fingers and thumbs are in so much agonising pain

More questions about low dose of Pred and Adrenal Insufficiency
Hi, I read with interest the explanations of Adrenal Insufficiency recently. Has anyone an explanation for my problem? I have been on Prednisolone for over 3 years since PMR was diagnosed in July 2015. My highest dose was 15mg . I have suffered "flares" as I reduced, well at least the GP diagnosed flares

Asymtimatic Gastritis
Large Gas bubble on chest x-raylooks like one in photo, only difference in my chest x-ray and this one was white cloudiness in the left upper lung quadrant. The gas bubble is the same size. Should I be concerned, or is it normal?

Mucus cough in the mornings that won't go away!
I've had this for about a year now every morning without fail I'll have a coughing fit until I bring up some mucus from what feels like quite deep down.. sometimes it's tinged with blood (bright red) which I assume is just from how forceful the coughing can be sometimes I'll also have the same cough
