ureter strictures
hey all! 76 y/0 male with grade 4 kidney disease for about 2 years now. GFR runs about 27.5, creatinine about 2.4, and BUN about 39. I have to go every 4 months for urinary stent replacements, due to ureter strictures. Would a cadavers transplant be of benefit, or would I even qualify? What about

About me
Hi all. Just introducing myself as a new member. On 1st April this year, I started feeling like I was getting heart burn or indigestion. Didn't think much of it. Popped to the shop for a couple of things for my wife, who had pulled her back. When I got back, it felt much worse. I took her things upstairs

3 weeks post CABG surgery
Looking for a bit of reassurance… My dad had a triple heart bypass 3 weeks ago, all went well apart from starting with a chest infection whilst in ICU. He was given IV antibiotics then oral antibiotics and was discharged after 5 days. He’s been home just over 2 weeks now and has been to the GP and his

ERCP - Failed
Anyone had a failed ERCP? The specialist did not manage to put in the stent and will try again later this week. The whole experience is like Mr Bean but that's another story. Summary - relative presented with high bilirubin - had 3/4 blood tests and still high (in a period of 3 weeks) - ERCP scheduled

left ventricular systolic dysfunction
Had chest tightness on exertion, breathless. I had an angiogram with possibility of stent as a CT showed LAD was getting blocked. Turns out CTwas inaccurate and LAD is fine, mild furring. I have been referred for an echo, report shows LvSD. Left ventricular systolic dysfunction, echo to verify. Anyone

Third recurrence, very worried.
I've just started Caelyx ,after my CA125 went up , always a good predictor for me. CT showed a 3cm tumour pressing on my ureter so I needed a stent to release pressure on my kidney. I had ablation on a liver tumour in August this year in the hope that I might get a break!. A CT in Sept showed me to be

Holiday - flying
My husband would like us to go abroad for some winter sun in the next couple of weeks. Following my CABG in July I am anxious about flying. Should I be worried ?

CAD at 47 - Shock
Just a bit of background. Was suffering from anxiety attacks and heart palpitations last Sep. Was referred to a cardiologist (privately). Did the usual tests (holt ecg / Echo / CTCA). Whilst the ecg and echo came back with no issues, unfortunately CTCA showed moderate( 50%) stenosis in mid-LAD. Calcium

Not sure what to do
I had a Heart attack on the 22/11/23 & got home on the 24/11/23. I had 1 stent fitted & my heart got a lot of damage. I have had amazing medical support with a common theme of rest completely for a week, then driving & work can be introduced. At this moment in time that seems a long way away. If anyone

2 weeks after Bypass surgery
Good morning everyone 😊 Sorry for the delayed update. On 15 Jan I underwent CABG x3. I was in ICU on the ventilator for 24 hours after op as there was a bleed on my chest that they needed to correct before waking me up. I was completely unaware of any of this, my first memory was a 3am phone call from

Easing pain in sternum / breast bone when coughing and sneezing.
After I had had a Triple CABG Operation done, every time that I coughed, or sneezed, which I tend to do violently my sternum / breastbone / chest hurt a lot. It was not until a physiotherapist friend had told that hugging myself would make coughing and sneezing more comfortable , that it did not hurt

Amlodipine Unwanted Side Effects
Several years ago, I was put on my first ever medication for High Blood Pressure, AMLODIPINE. One of the unwanted side-effects of it was abnormal chest pain on the left side of the chest. I even had to get a GP to check me out, but he said that there was nothing wrong. Eventually, my own GP phased
