Beta Blocker (Bisoprolol or Propanolol) for long-term management of high-BP?
I have consistently high-BP, which I've had for many years. The problem I have is with the Systolic (which consistently comes in the 140s or 150s range, which is considered too high nowadays). My Diastolic has always been fine. I currently take a Calcium-channel blocker (Verapamil), a Angiotensin-receptor

Massive Headaches During Dialysis
I really need some help if there's anyone who can help. I am a "complex patient" who has Crohn's disease, bowel resections as well as ESRD. Chronic anemia too. Unlike most dialysis patients I have low magnesium, low potassium, low sodium. The headaches I have are excruciating. I take 4x 500mg

Bottled water for baby?
Ok so I live in a hard water area and the limescale is so strong, it's horrible. I put water into my baby's bottle and it has a white dust settling in the bottom. It's so cloudy when I shake it. It makes me feel like I'm giving him dirty water. I want to know if any mums out there give their

Ranexa 375 mg prolonged-release Tablets \ Ranolazine 375 mg. Has anybody had any adverse effect from this medication.
My angina has recently become unstable. I did encourage my to GP to increase my dose of Ranolazine 375 mg to 500 mg. This caused continuous severe angina to such an extent I had to go to A & E, as having a good three double blasts of my GTN spray no angina relief had happened. A few hours later, after

I’m pretty new to this group but am very grateful to be part of this forum. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in 2017 and started sodium risedronate around 2018. I took it until about 4 months ago when my Endocrinologist took me off to put me on Prolia, which she assured me had no contraindications

Trying to make sense
Short background, edited to clarify - 2 months ago exactly I ended up in A&E with chest pains... blood tests showed elevated troponin levels so was treated for a heart attack (although they were fairly certain this wasn'tthe cause of my symptoms) and monitored for 72 hours. ECGs and echo all clear.

Private testing - how to decide which tests? Resume supplements?
I'm so happy to have found this forum! Looking for some advice please on private testing. I suspect my thyroid function and possibly adrenal health has been poor for quite a long time, probably declining since late teens (I'm now perimenopausal, at 47 years old). My worst symptoms include brain fog

Vasospastic angina - remission?
I was diagnosed in 2018 after 7 years of symptoms. It was always unpredictable, but triggers appeared to be changes in temperature and stress. I was medically retired because of it in 2020 because my employer wouldn't offer the reasonable adjustments I needed (no lone working basically). I realised

Blood Protein May Help Predict Diabetes, Death From Cancer— Prostasin commonly found in epithelial cells of organs - MedPage Today, 08/04/22
MedPage Today article about a blood marker I've never heard of, but one that might be worth getting done. Then again, as it seems to predict lifespan, maybe like the Horvath Clock (see link below), a case where for peace of mind it is better to live in the constant state where, at least for some things

CAS / Prinzmetal
In May 2020, I was fitted with a pacemaker and two stents and although they were successful, I have been loosely diagnosed with CAS / Prinzmetal angina - coronary artery spasms. I call it a nocturnal angina - it wakes me up at night and I use GTN medication. Is anyone on here who has been diagnosed
