Scared and worried
Hi My husband was posted on the transplant list just over a week ago. Been to the education meeting and beginning to make a plan for when that call comes... He had been having trouble breathing and as he has emphysema and ascites we went along to A & E yesterday to see if his ascites needed a further

I was prescribed 400/12 Budesonide / Formoterol as a maintenance inhaler & Bricanyl 0.5 terbutaline inhaler as a reliever. I was taking these meds on a regular basics but despite this my readings where

Pneumonia etc. 😢
Hi everyone. A week ago yesterday, I had to go to A and E with a hugely 🤒 high fever (my innacurate thermometer measured it at 42.7 which I looked up and should have been nearly dead if it really had been that high!) Anyway, was treated by the NHS amazingly quickly and was told I had a severe infection

Post op breathlessness
Hi all I am now two weeks post op and doing incredibly well. The surgeon is very pleased with progress and on the whole I am lucky enough to feel really well My only problem seems to be that I get very breathless when walking about. I have had a chest X-ray which did not reveal any issues. Is it normal

Breathing ? Longish post)
For >1 year I've had trouble breathing. Last year, My PCP thought it might be asthma and gave me an inhaler that might have helped slightly. Chest X-ray, labs were fine. At that time my EKG and echo were abnormal and I saw a cardiologist. Everything checked out ok, to include a nuclear stress test.

Upset to say the Least
Had a chest x-ray and it showed pulmonary hyperinflation. This indicates COPD. Haven't smoked in over 20 years, have no real symptoms until after this x-ray. That x-ray has bothered me mentally!

24th year and still going strong (with test results to support those words)
Passing into my 24th year Oct 19th with this strong gifted heart, this was a busy week in many ways, but especially with doctor clinic visits to get tests and test results. Heart annual stress test on Wednesday went GREAT! Meeting with the cardiologists for the annual exam showed everything doing great

6 Weeks post CRTD Op.. A & E visit and Dancing !
Hi all So I have now passed the 6 week milestone and feel much relief that my wires still seem intact ( this was my biggest fear). I must say that overall I have felt heart wise so much better... my dizzy faint periods have stopped. I don't appear to get breathless anymore and I sleep well and wake up

Help needed
I'm searching for answers or opinions. I've been short of breath for over 2 months. I'm absolutely exhausted. I have shoulder and neck aches and pains that are becoming worse. I had a ctpa done negative, chest x ray negative, ecg normal except bradycardia. (Hypothyroid so that's my norm). Bloods show

Reluctant vegan patient
Thinking not a good idea to get started on thyroxine at all after reading some of the posts. I went to my GP to get my SOBOE (shortness of breath on exertion) investigated - told ECG normal (despite experiencing occasional ectopics) and chest x-ray clear but my bloodwork said borderline hypothyroid.

First Endo appointment was not what I expected!!!
Sorry for a mini rant and ramble. So, my appointment was at 2pm today and I finally got seen at 4.30pm!!!!! First the consultant was late (I understand sometimes this can't be avoided so I didn't have a problem with this) BUT I was told the clinic started at 2pm and I was first. Patients were not taken
