BETA BLOCKER
I know these sounds weird, but I ran out of Beta Blocker for a few days and guess what I no longer have ectopics beats. I cannot believe that they were the cause, but they must have been. I was initially prescribed them when I had palpitations before I had a stent fitted and they work a charm, but after

Waking up from deep sedatives in ICU.
Waking up from sedation...what should I expect? My Dad went in for bypass surgery which went fine and on the day he was to come home he had a reaction to Heparin which was HIT type II rare response. They found clots in his heart and he had a heart attack shortly after in the ICU. He went in for emergency

Kidney/Ureter/Bladder Reconstructive Surgery Recovery Time?
I will be one year with my new blessed kidney on November 26. I have had 2 rejections and countless surgical procedures mostly due to a narrowing of the ureter causing a backflow of urine from my bladder to my kidney and causing my kidney to swell. After several stent replacements, 2 unsuccessful

Should I go to A and E
Just had to use my gtn for the first time in 10 months. I’ve been really good and then those old feelings are back. It’s been a year since my stent. Gtn worked and feel ok now. Should I go to AandE ? Or call the doc?

Know About Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is one of the most commonly performed open heart surgeries. Generally patients with severe coronary heart disease undergo this type of surgery. In this type of surgery a healthy artery or vein from the body is grafted or connected to the blocked coronary artery.

Stent 6 yrs
So I was 36 had a heart attack 1 stent fitted ok since then minimal to no damage on all the meds. Saw my cardiologist once but never again. Why am I not under a consultant and why do I never have any scans or anything to make sure I'm still ok?

Zytiga and prednisone, bowel problems
Hi, my husband has been on Zytiga and prednisone for about 3 months, he also has a kidney stent due to prostate pressing on lymph node which in turn was blocking urine flow. His bowel habits have changed since then, ie loose stools and regularity changed. Anyone else with these problems? Thank you
