constipation caused by amitriptyline
I`ve been on amitriptyline for many years for different reasons. Due to a period of insomnia I recently had to increase it to 75 mgs which made my IBS-C much worse. I am slowly reducing the dose and am now back to 50mgs and aiming to reduce further - but the constipation is still bad. I`m taking fybogel

My father who is hormone resistant had the go ahead for Radium 223, but has only been able to have 1 injection as his white blood cells and platelets are too low to continue currently. He feels like it has made things worse, am wondering how long this could affect his levels? Worrying with the current

Discouraged-looking for help!
Hi all! Looking for some advice, I have not been formally diagnosed with fibromyalgia yet however, it has been suspected from my GP. I have tried Naproxen, dicyclomine sodium and now I’m on amitriptyline to help me manage my full body chronic pain and chronic fatigue which also seem to not be working

Waiting forever after complications with an Angiogram
Hi all, New here. Had a heart attack in early July last year and had no idea that I had suffered one - no chest pain, just dizziness, nausea and pain in my arms and back more akin to muscle aches after exercise (I also thought I had some sort of gastric reflux and swigged a load of Gavescon). Anyway,

Raynauds Disease, Positive ANA, normal complement levels, I'm lost.
Hello :) I was just diagnosed with Raynauds and tested positive for elevated ANA titer. I don't know by how much because I was not given the results. My doctor emailed me and told me to get more blood drawn. All of my CBC bloodwork came back normal. Glucose, magnesium, sodium, all normal range. ESR perfect

Subarachnoid haemorrhage
I had a valve replacement in 2018 with good recovery. In October I had a subarachnoid haemorrhage with similar symptoms prior to it happening. Yet again symptoms ignored by GP. Severe hypertension, low potassium and high sodium. Passed out in the street. 10 day stay in hospital after diagnosis.

RECENT EPISODE on 24 January 2020
Though I had experience of knocking sensation before but last Friday's episode was really dreadful after my dinner. On sitting I felt a pressure on mid-chest area, it was something like I have been locked from inside and can get relief if I have some belching. Noted the BP which was high 180/70 HR 78

Post stent
Hi I’m new here. Had a heart attack on the 13th of this month. Cardiac care superb and stent fitted on the 20th. Since discharge home have had arm pain and yesterday an angina attack which resolved with GTN spray. Naively I thought that with the artery opening up with the stent that this would solve
