Let's Talk Kidney Issues
I had a stone removed from my right ureter 2 years ago; the preceding and subsequent CT scans showed stones in both kidneys. 6 months ago I went in for a follow up CT and found a stone completely blocking the left ureter (no pain). Surgeon removed the stone it but the kidney is only functioning at 18%

Morning!
Good morning from foggy Warwickshire.I posted recently about delayed follow up appointment after ablation in June and the Idiot GP who advised me incorrectly to stop heart meds in order to prescribe a wider range of painkillers( resulting in 24 hour AF episode) Finally got a call yesterday from appointment

I had my op 11 months ago and would

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

3rd August I had a full on heart attack out of the blue, stent fitted and send home to recover. Within 1 month I was back walking and at the gym but I couldn’t have done all this without the Rehab team. While at first I was very sceptical about the cardio rehab as I own a gym and have been very

My mum is going to have ICD box - please share experiences :)
Hi, Until a few weeks ago, my mum didn’t (knowingly) have any heart problems but her resting heart rate went to 174 on her Fitbit and wouldn’t go down so she went to hospital. They had to give her a shock to get her heart rate down. They did an angiogram and realised she had 3 clogged arteries
