Cardiac surgery meds bring PSA down?
My PSA was 1.6 on January 8 of this year. On January 31st I had successful open-heart surgery to repair a heart valve. On March 7th, my next blood test, my PSA had dropped to .5. Has anyone here heard that this sort of drop after surgery is normal? Perhaps there are meds used at that time that could

Mental Health or Thyroid issues. ?
Hi ... I was taking 125mcg Levothyroxine for many years but when I had a Heart Attack my Cardiologist suggested that my dose might be too much, I was very reluctant to lower the dose as I had been coping with life ''just fine''. I remember ''one GP'' telling me I had classic sub clinical hypothyroidism

I had a review a week or so back. Been on dupilimab for 18 months or so - on home care so I administer it myself. I explained that I now cough a lot.

types of T3
Hi all I currently take Roma T3 capsules my prescription is due for renewal and I’m interested to know what other types of T3 are available and what people’s experience is with them. I’m not 100% sure the Roma capsules agree with me, it is also hard to split doses before blood tests. As always, very

High ALT and Bilirubin and worried
my ‘urgent blood’ tests have come back and I am stressed to pieces as following my ultrasound I was told I had a fatty liver. My LFTs were all normal apart from my ALT which was 45 and needed to be less than 33, and Serum Bilirubin which was 27 and should be less than 21. Both readings end of March
