Ahhaaaa! Ladies and Gents- Leg pain when walking? Result!!
Hello All. I should have been in Morocco for a couple of weeks at the beginning of April. But, alas, it was not to be. I had an appointment for a Doppla test at my local community hospital on the 25th March. "This will be a breeze" I very wrongly assumed. This test measures your blood pressure in your

Flaxseed
Hi there, Been listening to Michael Mosley podcast and benefits of flaxseed. I am taking 90mg ticegrelor, 1.25mg bisoprolol and Aspirin 75mg. Had NStemi 6 months ago and stent fitted. My BP is quite low but considered good. Apparently on a big trial flaxseed didnt reduce BP in those that had low BP

stent
Hello. My husband had a stent placed into his bile duct to widen it last April (2023) he had it removed in August (23) and a balloon used to widen further strictures (narrowings). All seemed ok. He struggles daily due to his PSC which has caused cirrhosis on the left side of his liver plus portal hypertension

3 years ago I add a heart attack while driving. I was rushed to Leeds hospital, where I add 2 cardiac arrests, luckily they revived me then they fitted a stent. After my recovery cardiac rehabilitation suggested I do some kind of fitness, so I started going to spin classes. It seemed to be doing me good

Rising T Bili on Xeloda
Hi ladies!! my mom has been on xeloda and her T bili continues to go up last few weeks. Her last scans showed shrinking lesions on liver. Her Tumor Markers went up 28 points this month. Her scan is bumped up to next week . She s checking for blockage that would require a stent in the liver I guess

Silly I know... seeking reassurance. Since my NSTEMI (and stent fitting) in December I have eaten ultra healthily and have lost 1.5 stone without even trying. I take 30 minute brisk walks daily and am feeling much much better. My cholesterol has dropped from 4.3 to 1.1. Yesterday I ate two pieces

Update on me/angiogram/contrast
A while back I wrote about how I had a blockage in my legs and would have to have an angiogram/plasty with contrast. My vascular doctor and nephrologist worked together and came up with they would hydrate me 4 hours before the procedure and 2 hours after, also the vascular would only use as much contrast

Inflamed liver
Hi All, I haven't posted for a while, so I will try to explain how I feel generally. Had HA back in September & had a stent fitted. Most of the time I feel ok but every now & again I feel pretty awful, like I'm getting over Flu or a virus. My main symptons are tenderness in lower ribs & stomach ache
