Polymer glue put to work.
A decade ago, Ing became the first physician in Australia to insert endobronchial valves in COPD and emphysema patients. Ing first performed this operation at MUH in 2010, and since then it’s become the leading centre in NSW for this procedure. But Ing was only able

Metoprolol
Hello everyone, I am feeling rather low and not very well. I have to take Ciprofloxacin antibiotic for a chest infection which has pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria in my lungs. I can’t take Flecainide as my pill in the pocket if I have an AF episode. The doctor has told me to take 25mgs of metoprolol

Pitting Edema from heart failure?
I saw the infectious disease specialist today for my cellulitis. He said that the pitting edema on both my legs is not from the cellulitis. He said it's either from liver, kidney or heart. Last week my cardiologist changed my heart med from cardizem to verapamil because he thought the edema might be

HOW MANY MEMBERS HERE TAKE COQ10 WITH APIXABAN DAILY APPROVED BY THEIR DOCTOR OR NOT.
For years I have taken 200-300 mg of CoQ10 . Since I was diagnosed with AFIB about 8 months ago I have been taking 100 mg daily. The doctors and the pharmacist don't seem to really know for sure if it's OK. My research show not recommended with Warfarin as it may affect the thinning of the blood. Dr

oesophagectomies have poor outcomes

Is it safe to have a couple of glasses of wine?
Hi everyone, I was diagnosed last year with Afib, my highest reading being 170 beats per minute. I am on Bisoprolol and Apixaban, which so far have kept me well controlled. I have never been a big drinker and haven't touched a drop since diagnosis. My question is, would it be safe to have a couple of

ECG and T3
Is there way I can stop T3 to test the ? heart rhythm I am getting . As a result of another problem I recently had ECG which is fine. 👍 I have had some experience in that region and think I am having ectopic bests , which would be nothing to worry about . However this last month or so it is happening

Post heart surgery
Hi everyone. My husband had heart bypass surgery 19 weeks ago and initially recovered really well but for the last 8 weeks or so has felt nauseous and been sick almost everyday. The doctors surgery isn’t much help and it’s beginning to have an adverse effect on our relationship. Is this normal?

Dont give up hope! Miracles can & do happen My dad - covid-19 / ICU
I am absolutely thrilled to say my dad has been stepped down from ICU and onto a ward for rehabilitation & monitoring of his anti coagulation in the hope for no more internal bleeds or anything else for that matter . They lined the corridors with drs, surgeons, nurses, physio therapists and the pharmacist

Lercanidipine - anyone have any experience with it?
Have just been taken off amlodipine because of swelling of the ankles/lower leg, setting the area on the leg damaged by cellulitis off and swelling in two fingers. Doc has put me on Lercanidipine to lower my bp. Am also on Apixaban. It was on this forum that I read about these side effects with amlodipine
