Newly diagnosed; so scared, confused, and depressed
The doctor doesn't want to refer me to a kidney doctor at this point and doesn't feel any medications are necessary -- for the cholesterol, PD, or
CKD
. Please help me. I'm really, really struggling.

AV Node Ablation Good News
After having 9 cardio versions (shock treatment) in the past two years and at the age of 77, I decided to go for quality of life and forego all the drugs that I have taken over the past few years. I tried two ablations and a few drug protocols of which none worked. After all of that and the worry of

Is anyone with CKD on Clonidine b/p drug?
I am stage 5, and had to be taken off Losartan because of hyperkalemia. My Neph gave me a new drug which I couldn't tolerate as it made my heart race. So she said maybe you dont need to be on a b/p med since that ofc visit it was only 130/xx. I subsequently had an appointment with my cardiologist

Cholesterol Levels?
Has anyone noticed a relationship between their cholesterol levels and severity/progression of their liver disease? I’ve read that as the liver gets worse, cholesterol levels drop (especially HDL cholesterol). If you have had this happen, were you on medication (statins) to lower your cholesterol at

72 hrs Post Ablation
Good morning,n' You will see from my profile that I have not had a gret time getting to see an NHS cardiologist and have been in persistent AF for over a year (18 months nearly) with GPs not understanding. However, I was eventually referred to Royal Papworth and I had my outpatient appointment on 13th

CBD GUMMIES
I am sure this has been covered previously but I have just seen a promo for Sweet Relief Gummies supposedly backed by Dragon Den? Can’t find anything online other than promo so does anyone have any information on these or other gummies?

I've noticed a difference!
About 6 weeks ago I started taking vitamin B supplements and also CBD 5mg capsules. After about a week I'd noticed my clicks joints had quietened down a bit, my hands weren't as painful and I'd started to walk upstairs more normally. All in all my discomfort had become more manageable, I was moving

diabetic macular oedema or not!
I went for my review at the eye clinic today and the doctor there said she couldn’t understand why my right eye was not improving but my right eye had. She also said that it was strange as my blood sugars were very well controlled. She went off to speak to a consultant and the result of that was I am

Amiodarone
I had Cardioversion on 30th August. Heart went into sinus rhythm after third attempt but unfortunately slipped back into AF after just one day. I had a call from cardiac nurse this afternoon telling me the plan is to put me onto Amiodarone and then try another Cardioversion. I understand that the Amiodarone
