DC Cardioversion
So, had a private consultation with a Cardiologist yesterday to investigate my AF and subsequent shortness of breath. I had previously had 2 separate lung function tests and seen a respiratory consultant twice as well. The net result was that my lungs were normal, and a low key level of emphysema was

Increased thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) as a possible risk factor for atherosclerosis in subclinical hypothyroidism.
Have to admit, it is quite hard to read and I have not managed the entirety yet! But it does appear to read that even subclinical hypothyroidism might be important in itself - due to the increased TSH. [i]

Best UK substitue for US Synthroid
Hi, I lived in the US for over 20 years and was prescribed Synthroid for underactive Thyroid. I found that the generic levothyroxine brand was not effective. I have moved back to the UK and would like to find a brand that is as close to Synthroid as possible. Would appreciate any recomendations.

heart rate drop
Good evening, i had an ablation back in Jan-23 after being diagnosed with PAF in Oct-22. My avg resting bpm was always between mid high 50s-low 60s as I had exercised regular for all my adult life. I learnt its not uncommon to gain an 10-15 extra beats post ablation and my avg resting bpm did jump

My Update on Breathing and 02 SATs...
Thank you all that replied to my post - My SATS are not to blame for my Breathlessness - But something is and it's being sorted. I went to see my GP and my 02 SATs are normal for me, They go to 89 and even lower, but not consistently. I normally am 92 at the moment - but as I say can go lower. I

kidney blood test questions
I just had a routine blood test. I won’t be able to see the doctor for answers until Friday and I’m worried and scared. My eGFR numbers dropped from 95 to 44 in one year. My Creatinine numbers are high and my cholesterol numbers also shot way up. I have no symptoms. Has anyone else had such a change

New Ablation Date
Hi Thanks to all who replied, supported and advised re my previous rant about my cancelled ablation two weeks ago. My scheduled ablation 3/7/24 was cancelled a week before due to junior doctors strike knock on effects. The cardiology waiting list co-ordinator was very sorry and promised to arrange

Autovaccination seems a hot topic lately: Mt. Sinai autovaccination technique to turn cold prostate cancer hot (Phase 1)
ok, I am exposing myself to j-o-h-n in more than one way with that title... This is for regional leagues (locally advanced PCa), while we are the NFL of prostate cancer here, but the fact that a cold cancer was turned hot is very promising as it has always been the main limit of immuno therapies applied

Anyone have side effects from omenectomy?
Hi everyone, I’m after some advice. I’ve decided to have a preventative total hysterectomy with salpingo-oopherectomy (one ovary is already gone with my OC tumor - I’m one year NED so far). I also have endometriosis too, so I’m hoping this helps stop that pain too. My procedure, together with a hernia

Subconjunctival Haemorrhage and anticoagulants.
I noticed I had a subconjunctival haemorrhage in the left eye this morning when shaving. Unfortunately, I had already taken my morning dose of apixaban before I noticed it. I couldn’t get a GP appointment even by phone. Does anyone know what the advice is in this case? Is it recommended to pause the

No lung reduction for me
Hi everyone, hope your all as well as you can be.Well I saw my Respiratory doctor at hospital, and after a meeting with specialist at Guys London, I am not suitable for lung reduction due to the fact that I am stage 3 and lungs are full of Emphysema holes, I only have 40% lung function in both lungs

Anca vasculitis
I have had this illness about seven years now and am not having infusions now though I do have an injection of methotrexate every week. I live a quite busy life but am always tired as vasculitis gives me chronic fatigue and bad pains in joints. Now apparently a lot of the pain is I'm told arthritis

Imperial College Help please
Hi, further to my last post - thank you all so much - my GP and Renal Consultant are in agreement that I see a rheumatologist as well as continuing to see my renal Consultant. A few people and Vasculitis UK recommended Imperial College as I believe they have a Vasculitis Centre there? I think I've had
