Hi My name is Dee and I am being medicated for Angina Symptoms. I had a chest X-Ray that showed my lungs were fine, but my heart was larger than it should be. I am always breathless and have pain in my chest when I exert my self. I assumed this was my lungs! I had an appointment at Hospital last week

Writing here for some support how to make a long story short back in 1998 I had a seizure I didn't know what was happening in years before in my late teens and had two together but didn't know at the time they were painful and not what you think of seizures. I went to a neurologist who told me it

Do I even have asthma
Hi guys. I'm hoping to find someone with a similar experience to myself. I suffer with pretty bad allergies and take a lot of medication to manage this, including the use of Montelukast (Singulair) to control the allergic wheeze (asthma). As my allergies stand, all seems to be ok and well managed for

Heart Failure & coughing
My husband has got heart failure & has had a cough for at least 2/3 years. At first he was told the cause of his cough was his medication. Now the cardiologist has said its not his medication it could be his heart failure but wants Kevin to see GP first. He's had a breathing test done at surgery & that

Methoject
I had my first methoject today at the hospital . I did a lot better than I thought I have really come far in 2 years . I need to go back for a chest X-ray next week when I’ve got time . The nurse wants a starting point of my lungs as methotrexate on long term use can cause fibrosis of the lungs . I

4th chest x-ray
Hi guys, I'm a little worried and my doctor is being really vague about things. I had a terrible cough for months and coughed up some blood. I was given antibiotics that didn't work. I then had a chest x-ray that showed pneumonia. I was given more antibiotics, and felt a bit better after 6 weeks. I

No infomation
Hi I wonder if anyone could help. I got sent for a chest x-ray 2 weeks ago and went for results to GO today, she told me I have COPD but gave me no information or advice except to say that if I got short of breath she will give me inhalers. I am totally shocked and it has just really hit me now. x

Alendronic Acid ....and other worries
I too am reluctant/determined not to take AA, despite being diagnosed with osteoporosis 2016 prior to diagnosis of PMR. My Rheumatologist and doctor advised and prescribed it. In 2009 I had a chest X-ray with report ‘Lungs are hyperinflated in keeping with obstructive airways disease’ comments: OK.

Decisions, decisions ?
My dilemma is all about drug treatment !! " "Nothing new then", I can almost hear everyone's thoughts !! For a start I have been having trouble with my chest for some time, regularly coughing up clear mucous. A recent chest X-ray revealed inflammation in my lungs. So, today I have been doing some reading

Cough at night
Quick question about cough at night. Did blood work. Wating for results ( very anxious) Joint pain...... I’ve been coughing at night off and on for 1 year now. Had done a chest X ray a year ago : they found the tiniest nodule ( they actually wrote on report : maybe vascular ?) because it was so small
