always worrying about my heart rate
ugh.. I was having a great day, sat down whilst my food was cooking, glanced over at my Fitbit and saw 58bpm and got spooked. it's usually never below 60bpm when I'm sat down. started to feel dizzy and panicky and scared myself into thinking my heart was gonna stop or something!! this is so frustrating

Iron may not be what we think it is.
The latest thinking from RLS research is that when we talk about iron ,we should be looking at Haemoglobin (hgb) rather than ferritin. This is from the latest magazine of the Restless legs Foundation ( Nightwalkers summer 2020). James R Connor PhD. The thinking is that hgb levels are a better indication

I've been tested for the intrinsic factor and should get the results by next week. My GP doesn't want to give me any more injections for

I developed a wheeze/whistle at night at beginning of lockdown and was diagnosed by telephone with asthma (at age 56) and given inhalers. (Have not yet had lung function test due to Covid) so still not really confirmed. I then developed chest pains which feel like they are where you’d typically recognise

Bloods and medication ordered by Oral Medicine Consultant ...refused by GP.
Has anyone experienced this at all? Refusal to prescribe and do bloods? I have been waiting to see an oral medicine consultant since January. Obviously, due to the dreaded, it was, like many appointments, cancelled and put on hold. Thankfully, I have not had to wait too long since easing of lockdown

Can the breathing with anxiety last 6months all day everyday without going 24/7
Basically went to the hospital about 2months ago had a chest X-ray that’s come back all clear and they’ve listened to my chest and that’s all clear but have shallow breathing constantly for 6months just wondering if it can last this long all day everyday I’m worried it was a blood clot or lung cancer

Pernicious Anemia with worsening neuropathy. I'm new here.
I was diagnosed by my physician in late February 2020 of pernicious anemia after a follow-up visit to my physician from an emergency room visit approximately 1 week prior. I will try to tell my story without being too lengthy, so here goes. Approximately 3 years ago I began having very brief episodes

Diagnostic tests
Hi everyone, I was wondering which tests people had to reach their diagnosis? I have many of the symptoms and a raised MCH. However, my intrinsic factor test just came back negative today. My B12 levels tend to be around 250. I also have Hashimotos Thyroiditis. My GP says she thinks I don't have PA and

Doctors want to stop injections altogether
Hello all, Following my recent post re. contacting my doctor’s surgery about coming back in for injections (for free as usual) rather than self-injecting at home (for £9.15 (and rising) a pop), I’ve received a letter in the post from my GP... She has used this opportunity to write to me informing me

Pain
Have had pain in my hands and less so in my elbows and shoulders for several months. My GP has spoken on the phone to me and been given voltarol gel which helps a bit. Blood tests show raised inflammatory markers and rheumatoid factor. Have been referred to rheumatology as GP thinks rheumatoid arthritis

Asthma hit me out of the blue
Hello to everyone at A UK I joined Health Unlocked some time ago because I suffered from Polymyalgia Rheumatica and needed advice. It's a nasty auto immune condition that can be managed with steroids. I am one of the lucky people to make a recovery after 2 years. Now, I'm getting on happily with life

iron's role in B12 injections
Could I ask your opinion please on iron? There are two conflicting views: B12 injections bring down iron levels and B12 will help absorption of iron and therefore increase them. I don’t have and never had macrocytosis. If iron, like potassium, is used in the formation of red blood cells only if there

supplements timings
Hi, I know this has been asked before but i can't find any posts on it. I take my levothyroxine first thing in the morning, and i'm going to start taking vitamin D, B12 and iron. I'm sure iron needs to be taken away from anything else but i wondered can i take vitamin B12 and D together? I was thinking

Ferritin
I came across some posts here helping somebody with low ferritin and you sound extremely knowledgeable and hope you can advise me. I've been having tests for an IBS type problem and the bloods found my ferritin is 10.1 (new word to me!) I was called with the result and was just told my Ferritin level
