Oxygen therapy
I am helping to look after my 88 year old sister at present. She has been prescribed ambulatory oxygen therapy following a diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension, I think related to her Protein S Deficiency. She is frail and even the small oxygen cylinders are heavy and difficult for her to use but oxygen

Anticoagulant for AF
I've seen some helpful posts on this site and I hope someone can help me further. I was recently diagnosed with AF but I don't have a fast heart rate. My pulse rarely gets to 59. My doctor has prescribed an anticoagulant (Eliquis) but I'm scared of taking it because of the side effects. I had two bleeding

My darling Mum
My Mum passed away on 29 December. Approx 2 years after her diagnosis of CBD. I am so comforted that, as per her wishes, she stayed at home. the NHS have been amazing, she had carers 4x a day and every piece of equipment they though could help, She was “well” until 23 December and I then just knew

Looking for feedback regarding Asymptomatic Afib
I'm fairly new to this forum and I already feel at home. It's very refreshing to find an online community whose members are so kind, understanding and generous. By way of introduction, I'm a 69-year-old male living in Connecticut. My Afib history is as follows: Diagnosed with Afib by PCP - 8/9/

the Flu and CKD
Hello, I have stage 4

. Last GFR was 29 so actually right on the border of 3/4. I have the flu and I have noticed ever since being sick my urine is very bubbly. This happened when I had Covid last year but then it went back to normal.
