Trying to Maintain Money and Mental Health
My spouse received a kidney transplant in November 2022. He was on dialysis for 18 months and also developed diabetic retinopathy which requires 5 surgeries prior to and after his transplant. He wants to work and going on disability would be terrible for his mental health. We are having trouble financially

Tacycardia - how long before I go to A and E?
Well this is a new problem for me. I have AF and in the past year episodes have become much more frequent to the point where the ‘A’ word has been discussed and I am now on the waiting list for an ablation. During all the years with AF I have rarely had a problem with a fast heart beat - up to now

Short pulse like pain in chest
occasionally ( say once a month at most) I get a short spell of pulse like ripples of discomfort in chest ( normally left side). They last 2/3 seconds at most and over say a 10 min period. They aren’t always associated with just having eaten/drink and are t accompanied by sternum pain. I have had an

Good sats - so why so breathless?
THAT is indeed the question. Why, with my peripheral O2 levels at 94/5 %even 96% am I still fighting to breath? It goes like this. I wake short of breath. I rise and take my Oximeter (I have several; they all show the same) . My level is, say 92%. I do controlled breathing using a computer monitor

Actual appointment face to face with an actual human!
After being sent to A&E last November by GP, diagnosed with AF and discharged with meds, then an echocardiogram beginning of March, I have an actual appointment booked with an arrythmia nurse end of July! Still a little bit in shock that I'll get to talk to someone! Came about because my GP wanted to

pulsing discomfort in chest
I have been diagnosed with oesophagitis following a endoscopy. From time to time I get what I can only describe as uncomfortable ( not hugely painful) radiating pulses in my chest ( normally left side but not exclusively). They last say 2/3 seconds but in waves of about elapsed time of say 10–15 mins

Now need a stent or bypass
I posted on here a bit ago that I have been tired and out of breath ever since my 5th ablation last August. My cardiologist put it down to the Bisoporol I was taking but 3 months ago after seeing him and complaining he sent me for a ultrasound scan. All was OK then I wrote to him saying I am not

shoulder and arm pain after heart bypass
My friend had a quadruple bypass 4 weeks ago. He's had trouble with pins and needles in his arms and hands. The last 4 days a lot of pain in shoulders and arms which has lead to loss of sleep. He also has a cough. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

I had a grandma seizure and super low blood pressure they took me off all blood pressure meds I was on. The neurologist

Discitis nearly killed me. I suspect streptococcus B was injected into me by Hormone injection for PCa
I have PCa. I am also immune suppressed due to kidney transplant. In February I started hormone injections due to BCR. A couple of weeks later I started to get back pain. Doctor prescribed pain killers. After about 6 weeks, many blood tests, consultations and an MRI scan I was diagnosed with discitis

Mitral Valve Prolapse and Hypothyroidism
Is Mitral Valve Prolapse associated with Hypothyroidism? If so, Is the condition common? I was diagnosed with a mild MVP 30 years ago and Hypothyroidism . 15 years later. Until I started taking Levothyroxine I had panic attack type episodes. I have never had any check ups for the MVP. Thanks

One year stem cell transplant anniversary
This week a year ago I received my donor's stem cells. For those of you not following my posts, it was hard going in the early months but by late June things were looking a lot better both mentally and physically and my hair started its return.. My platelets were one of the slowest things to recover

This is normal after a heart bypass, isn't it?
My husband had a bypass on Friday, a double if that makes a difference. 3 nights in ICU, chest infection, exhaustion and gibbering nonsense. Today moved into HDU and was so much more alert, talkative and seemed like his old self. Just had him on the phone to me, worried they were giving him too many

New to this
I had a hba1c test a couple of weeks ago and it came back as 48mmol had another one last week and it came back as 47mmol. I had a heart attack last December and open heart surgery in January could this be linked or something different? What changes do I need to make? Tia
