Most effective ablation method?
I am scheduled to have open heart surgery (OHS) to replace my aortic valve and while my chest is open the surgeon said they believe it would be a good time to perform a Maze ablation for my persistent afib. FYI: I was diagnosed with afib and tach back in 2008 - both were controlled well with flecainide

biopsy report, still waiting to see consultant.
hi all, had an email with the below conclusion of my biopsy, I have a very minuscule left lobe which they want to biopsy but were unable to due to the size. So the right lobe was biopsied. Until I see the consultant I don’t really understand the results, I know none of you are specialist or doctors

Do you know your pulse?
Your heartbeat is the most fundamental rhythm in your life, signalling the regular pumping of your heart as it propels blood carrying oxygen and nutrients to the rest of your body. We take the regular beating completely for granted, never giving it a second thought until the elegant control process

Help and advice for mum
Hey All, My mum has hidden her drinking, liver issues and cirrorsis for 15 years as I’ve been living in a different country. She was taken into hospital last winter, and I was told it was related to her liver, but no real further detail. Attending a consultant appointment with her last week has unearthed

Compensated liver
I have went from ddcompensatd to compensated liver disease since being diagnosed in August 2023. I keep seeing prognosis is 9 to 12 years. Is this correct or can you live past 12 years. I haven't had any alcohol since diagnosed

Confused and seeking clarification
Hi folks . . . I have attached a letter from Hepatology which (to me anyway!) appears to contradict itself? In summary . . . a US in September 2021 showed increased parenchymal echogenicity (PE) due to fatty liver. Follow up bloods and a CT in April 2022 revealed nothing further. I then had a telephone

change of medication to Atenolol from Bisoprolol
I have been on Bisoprolol for a couple of weeks but I haven’t felt great. I felt tired and foggy most of the time, struggled to get my breath and my feet were freezing. I have spoken to the pharmacist at our surgery and he has changed my medication to Atenolol even though he said Bisoprolol was the preferred

Blood test Results AST/GGT
Hi all.I have a history of pancreatitis and liver issues. I did a private blood test in the week and it's come back that my AST and GGT are both high. GGT is worse. Should I be concerned? I'm going to ring my GP tomorrow for another blood test but wondering if I should go to A+E? I'm in pain and managing

liver transplant : build up
hi everyone I’m really in need of some support. I’m 37 and have liver failure . I went to see my consultant in Belfast a few weeks ago and was my doctor when I attended Antrim hospital hospital. She was extremely direct and blunt with myself. She said my score is is high but didn’t tell me the range.

Has anyone with Hashimoto or any other autoimmune condition tried low dose naltrexone ( NDL) to regulate autoimmune response?
I have multiple autoimmune diseases, such as Hashimoto, autoimmune gastritis and Reynolds. The list is growing. I am already on clean diet and manage my stress as much as I can and need to try something more than that. I have read the LDN research and keen to try. I understand it isn't a panacea

Persistent AF
Hello, for the past couple of years I have had paroxysmal AF which has taken increasingly long times to convert to NSR. The last few have been 22 hours and usually every couple of weeks or so. This time I was quite pleased as I went 22 days without, the longest interval for 18 months. However it's now

Endo gave me private prescription
so, good news! The private Endo appointment went as I’d hoped and he was happy to let me try T3. I’m now trying to source it. I’ve had a no back from a couple of places on the list from Thyroid UK. Thing is, I just wanted to check as on the prescription it says triiodothyronine rather than liothyronine

PSA of <0.1 undetectable?
I am on ADT, lupron and Zytiga, at Kaiser Oakland. My latest PSA came back as <0.1. My MO sent me a message with the results: "congratulations, great news, your PSA is undetectable!" I thought undetectable was 0.01, is it more likely she misread the number or that the lab used by Kaiser only reports
