Also being told through the years that ECG showed something but still no diagnosis, trips back and forth to A&E. Then four

How much Gaviscon to take?
Having endured angina type symptoms for more than a year, yesterday I tried Gaviscon for the first time at the suggestion of my GP. I immediately feel a lot better. So now I want to ask everybody about taking Gaviscon. Is it OK to continue taking it indefinitely every day ? The instructions say 10

Low sodium levels and Indapamide
Hi, I was taking Indapamide for 4 weeks and my BP was great, however my GP has taken me off them as he said my sodium levels are too low, now I'm on Doxazosin and my BP is right back up and I feel rubbish. Anyone else suffer from low sodium levels and if so is there anything you can take to increase

CT Angio update, a most nervous patient lol
Just on way home from latest test, a CT contrast angiogram, took 2 injections of metoprolol on top of my oral meds to control pulse as I was in high anxiety mode even tho have had 2 previous other CTs in past 3 months, then at last minute reprieved from the gtn spray when they realised aortic stenosis

Imodium
Hello, does anyone find it helpful to take Imodium to prevent diarrhoea if going out? Or would you recommend taking anything else as a preventative?

December and flare ups
I have suffered with chronic IBS D for over twenty years and I always seem to get worse this time of year, but I have no idea why! I have tried many different anti depressants to try to alleviate the problem, and I am currently on citalopram which doesn’t seem to do anything. I am resorting to taking

Covid question
I’ve avoided Covid up until now. My partner and I picked it up in Cuba. Started with what we thought was food poisoning, the dreaded diarrhea. It’s now been 14 days. We’ve had chills, fevers, fatigue and daily diarrhea. I’m at the final three months of V treatment so was advised to start the antiviral

Diazepam Stomach Cramps
I’ve had numerous attempts at getting off Diazepam with sometimes a couple of years clean . Anyway this year I started taking them again. I had gone up to 40mg a day. I had considered that a low amount , one of my episodes I was taking a lot more than that. At 40mg I started a very slow taper dropping

Ferritin and Haemoglobin levels
Hi All, my husband had to abandon radium 223 when it was discovered that he had several lung nodules (around 8mm). His PSA has been increasing for the last 18 months (he was diagnosed August 2022) so his oncologist sent him for a scan after the 4th radium infusion which is how the lung nodules were discovered

loperamide
my doctor has advised I take this daily but I’m worried they will lose their effect over time and stop working. Does anyone else take Imodium daily and if so has this happened?

Invited for my unmentionable this week, feeling unexpectedly anxious, advice needed!
I'm not anti-V but I unexpectedly feel anxious about getting my boo-ster this week after my heart attack & stent last month. I'm 48, female & have a healthy, active lifestyle so for me, my heart attack came out of nowhere. Now I'm on 7 drugs every day, with a blooming GTN spray I'm having to use a couple

Angina
Hi, I have angina since I had my heart attack about 18 months ago. This heat is making the angina worse and I also have insomnia. I had a hospital report from my cardiac MRI and will need further hospital tests in the next few weeks. I cope with GTN spray and Amlodipine as the heat affects my blood

Following SOC here in BC Canada
I am currently at the CRPC stage of my disease. About 7 years since diagnosis. Started with ADT and Docetaxel. Was able to be castrate sensitive for 4.5 years. Tried to add Abiraterone and it failed after a couple of months. Had Radium 223 and it was okay but did nothing to the PSA. Cancer kept progressing

Slow recovery and set backs after angiogram and stent
I had an angiogram and stent inserted in late July after three weeks of angina. It was diagnosed as uncontrolled angina, it came on rapidly over three weeks and got worse very quickly. I suspected that is what it was and was happy with what was done and how quickly they did it, arrived 10am, stent inserted
