Might not be asthma
Hi, new here. I’m seeking some ideas here. I’ve been treated for asthma for over 20 years. I’ve had new inhalers recently but resorted to ones I’ve been taking for some time. In December I became unwell. My go gave me prednisone for a week. That did nothing. He diagnosed a virus (not covid). Still struggling

Help with blood test results please
Hi, I’ve recently got access to my full records on Patient Access . In July 2020 I had a lot of blood tests done as I was being being checked for POTS, and I didn’t know about some of them which I think are also used for investigating vasculitis: Myeloperoxidase MPO - 3.2 Proteinase 3 - 2.3 There were

Worried: Anyone have ectopics and shortness of breath?
I went to the ER with shortness of breath & palpitations and was diagnosed with bigeminy. They ran all the tests, including blood work (normal), EKG, Echo, chest x-ray. From what I'm reading here, most people with ectopics don't have shortness of breath, so I'm wondering what that means for me, prognosis

Worried about chest x-ray report
I went to ER for heart palpitations/shortness of breath and among heart tests, they did a chest x-ray, which came back with "somewhat nodular bipacial pleural-parenchymal scarring" and a recommendation to repeat the x-ray in 6 months. I have no idea what this could be. I'm 69, a never smoker, vaper etc

Two weeks ago had a telephone appointment with a GP, I was concerned that my breathing had not been as normal for a few weeks. Certainly wheezing while breathing out, just breathing out! No real problem inhaling. I was asked to visit the surgery for a face to face appointment that same day with the GP

Puzzling Results
I am puzzled about my latest results and need some help. I am 77 and was diagnosed with hypothyroidism 19 years ago when my TSH was 75. I was prescribed Thyroxine but I can't remember how much or how long I took it. I felt that it wasn't helping me , so I did my own research. I found out about NDT and

Help needed with PMR diagnosis
Hi everyone, After weeks of frantic googling, I have stumbled upon this group and it's honestly the first time things have started to make a little sense... I'm looking for some advice for my mum- she has been in horrendous pain since mid January and is really struggling. Her symptoms are like a checklist

Signs of GCA?

Can Methotrexate cause lung problems?
I have been on Methotrexate for about 8 years now, even though it doesn't seem to do me much good. I am also on Leflulamide and hydroxy. I have got cellulitis and last November I developed an infected ulcer on my leg and was in hospital as it became very serious. I was only kept in for a few days because

Kidneys I'm a bit concerned
I wrote saying that I was physically very weak, and very nauseous....then I learned that my blood sodium levels had taken a dip. I'd been put on a new blood pressure med Indapamide which is a diuretic, but used as a bp med at low doses. I don't have fluid retention and stopped this after 4 days because

Mid to upper back ache
Hi I have been diagnosed with ibs this week. One of my symptoms is a knawing back ache. I was wondering if anyone else gets this. It almost feels like it’s it’s being eaten away and feels very stiff. It is located mainly in the area of my lungs. I have an appointment for a chest X-ray in 33 weeks.
