**UPDATE** Bloods: consistent low sodium levels (Bit freaked out!)
**Update:
I just spoke with my Dr - my urine sample came back normal - no Addison's or anything else! Wow, what a massive relief. Thanks to all who have contributed and offered support. I am on day three of cutting back water and adding salt back into my diet.
All the best

Angina pain despite clear coronaries?
Well my angiogram done yesterday, and not as easy as I was led to believe, apparently my radial artery is tiny, hence a lot of pain initially. However I think I slept through the rest!! Now I am confused, cardiologist who was not the most approachable of men, said arteries where clear but my coronary

Terrible guts after flu
I have had a fluey virus since the 10th of December. The flu symptoms went away after about 11 days, but during that time I’ve been feeling nauseous and have had diarrhoea. I also had such an acidic stomach I lost my appetite. I got an emergency appointment at my GP on Friday 20th. I was acutely anxious

I’m in a bad way
I posted a week or so back that I was really ill with a virus. So I’m still really ill. Ended up at the GP as an emergency last Friday morning as I was in an acute anxiety attack, as well as still have diarrhoea and feeling so sick. My husband and youngest daughter came and I can’t tell you how appallingly

Right Upper Quadrant Pain?
I joined this community about a month ago and, rather than simply reading different threads, have finally mustered the courage to post a question. Of all the threads I've read so far, there are many people who appear to have similar stories – although, I've never been able to find out how their stories

Local cardiology department don’t want to investigate low level angina at rest
Long story short coming up for 2year post angioplasty anniversary (jan). I get bouts of what I suspect is angina during the day and at night which is mostly lhs chest into armpit location fairly low level but can distract me from sleep. I don’t often use Gtn except when heavy and some relief may be gained

Is GTN spray safe to use for people with Atrial Fibrillation?
My father suffers with AF and although I consider him fit for an 81 year old, more recently he has experienced increased periods of breathlessness (even when doing very little) and occassional chest spasms. We know other people who use GTN as a result of a heartattack or angina but my question is, does

Persistent tickly cough
I have a persistent tickly cough. I've had anti biotics but the cough just comes back again after a few weeks. It's particularly bad at night. I used to find that pholcodeine cough mixture helped, but I've been told that I shouldn't take it because it is not compatible with the warfarin Im on for PAF

Interference of anti-streptavidin antibodies in immunoassays: a very rare phenomenon or a more common finding?
The issue with biotin interfering with blood tests has been much discussed. Now a paper which suggests that interference by anti-streptavidin antibodies is more common than thought. Unfortunately, whereas with biotin we can do something (stop taking biotin for a few days before a test), with these

GTN Spray
Hi, as you may have gathered from some previous posts I am trying to find out the answer to the strange gas sensations I continually have in my chest? Can I say that I do burp a lot “very lady like though” which again convinced me it is gas. Today it was particularly bad for about an hour right in the
