CLL, paxlovid and heart drugs
I caught covid last March. Although tortuous, the 111, NHS royte worked for me and I received the sotrovimab infusion in my local hospital. 111 had passed my info onto the team response team and a pharmacist contacted me promptly. She wanted to give me paxlovid but reading my notes as we spoke she said

Lowering eGFR and creatine
My husband was recently diagnosed with stage 2 CKD with creatine around 2.1 and eGFR around 42. Between the time his bloodwork showed that and when he saw the nephrologist for the first time, he went in for a heart catherization. The cardiologist discovered two major blockages and was able to put in

getting back to running
I’ve ran for many years (marathons, 10k, fell running etc.) but ended up have a stent fitted about 3 months ago due to angina (no heart attack) so reluctantly stopped running a couple of months before that. I’m recovering well and now doing cardiac rehab exercise classes which are great but relatively

Post Stent
Hi there… My consultant said I have severe heart disease, LAD 99% blocked, one at 55 and one 45. He stented the main one but said 55 and 45 were moderate and wouldn’t be done. I just wonder, now that the LAD is clear, do I still have severe heart disease or am I now clear? Thank you - this is a great

Thrill rides
Hi, So just before I was diagnosed with unstable angina I was supposed to be going to Disney with my family. I had a cardiac stent inserted and am on the usual medication. Trying to understand if I rebooked whether I could go on the 'big rides' or whether I'd be stuck holding the bags whilst the kids

Stents and HCC
My husband has ascites and oedema which the scan shows to be caused by the original tumour blocking the portal vein. I wonder if anyone has had PVT and was it treated by putting in a stent as the treatment recommended by our oncologist is firstly diruretics and then an infusion of iron? The stent option

isosobardene and sharp burning pain in centre of chest and also in abdomen. Allergic reaction?
Since starting isosobardene for angina, I am experiencing what I think is panic attacks, but my cardiac doc says it can also be unstable angina.I think it may be an extreme version of 'flushing' or some form of reaction. I never had this until after an angiogram and being put on this medication. I write
