Fed Up.
Hello again, very long time, no see. I will freely admit that a huge part of my absence has been pure denial. As 2024 begins, I realise I have been a prisoner of my health problems since late 2020, when it all really kicked off probably due in no small way to our good friend Covid, both mentally and

A Useful Review of the Excellent Wellue AI ECG Device
I bought one of the Wellue 24-hour AI ECG monitors a while back after warm recommendations on this forum. I noticed today a full review of it from the highly respected American cardiologist, "The Skeptical Cardiologist", had been published. Some of you might find it interesting to read. The Wellue device

Is evidence of AFib on ECG. The same as confirmed Afib
I was just wondering, if heart palpitations and evidence of AFib on the ecg. Is the same as confirmed AFib. I have had 3 episodes of heart palpitations, but still fighting infection from Ecoli and acute necrotising pancreatitis. Infection markers were well over 400 and now down to around 40 from last

I don't want to live anymore
I've been depressed most of my life. I grew up with 10 brothers and sisters, I got teased constantly because I wasn't as beautiful as my 5 sisters. I would come home from school and hide away in my little 3rd floor bedroom to avoid teasing. I was never close to my mom, in fact I never remember having

New Year update
Firstly Happy New Year to everyone. Had a phone call last Thursday from my surgery to book an appointment for a blood pressure review. Had the appointment this morning what an utter waste of my time and the GPs time they wanted to see me as my BP is still stubbornly very low and I'm still getting lightheaded

Low blood pressure and palpitations. Thyroid, low ferritin, something else?
My ongoing investigations into possible thyroid problems continue and thanks to you lovely lot I have a direction to follow with more testing over a period of time to look for patterns. So far normalish TSH with low normal FT4 and FT3 - results below. I’m not diagnosed and don’t take thyroid meds. Feel

Acute pericarditis following 1 high steroid dose.
hello I experienced pericarditis about 17 years ago following a cold. I had one mild relapse about 6 months later which is when I was diagnosed with pericarditis by GP . Since then nothing until now. 2 days ago I was prescribed a high dose of prednisone steroids (60mg per day) for an unrelated ear
