Help! Stomach Bug & Holiday!
For over a week I have had some sort of stomach bug with awful pains in the lower stomach, causing loose stools, feeling chilled then hot, with a recurring headache. I contacted my doctor asking for urgent stool tests, as I am due to go on holiday to Spain next Monday, just in case it is a stomach bug

Angina symptons?
Hi all Getting a bit worried. After my failed Bypass in September and needing 4 stents in February I've started to get random pains again. Scared stuff they're Angina and my stents are failing already. I have a sort of tight pain in the roof of my mouth and throat and dull toothache. My original symptons

Besremi Update 15 Months
Hi Community! I titrated my Besremi to 180 from 150 over the last three doses (a bit of a story there for another time). I assumed I'd need a phlebotomy as I hadn't had a CBC for 7 weeks and my Hematocrit was already 40 but it went down 2 points! Almost never happens without phlebotomy. Everything

7 Week Review after CABG
7 weeks since I had the CABG x 4... went in for a review with my consultant. Soooo glad I had read up on here, and had the Cardio Rehab assessment beforehand, and had made notes of the questions a needed answers too. It was brutally efficient - [i]yep your op was a success, you can do anything, and

Don't know What's happening to me!!
Doc recommended 2 x Amytryptyline in Feb., after it was discovered I had 2 x damaged discs in my lower back. Referred me to Physio, (appt. on 22nd!)I was OK for a couple of months, then started to feel dizzy, lost my appetite and taste, everything tastes sweet!, even a roast dinner. Went to see ACP

how much is too much
how much GTN do people use on average through the day. I’ve used it three times. Four the other day. Just curious how much people use?

Disimpacted 9 year old and still soiling
my 9 year old has been suffering with chronic constipation for 6 years, we are all at our wits end. It is hugely affecting my, but more importantly her, mental health. At the beginning of July we had a hospital stay for disimpaction via a NG tube. This was effective. Doctor prescribed 5 ml of sodium

I had a sudden heart attack in December 2022 aged 43. Everything came as a surprise as I’m not over weight and I am generally healthy. I was fitted with 2 stents.

Laxido - diarrhoea
hi there, I was suffering with constipation so my doctor prescribed Laxido. The label from the pharmacy said take one twice a day generally but if constipated you can take 6 in 1 hour. I took 5 in 1 hour last Saturday. Since then, I have loose stools/diarrhoea. I have bloating and cramps also. I thought
