How low is too low
Hi, i've been on bp meds for about 6 weeks now. Ramipril then losartan 25mg. My bp was previously hovering around 140/90. My readings now are around 120/73 but i'm feeling very dizzy and woozy. Last night my bp went to 133/60. Anyone have any experience of getting their medication reduced and what

Utrogeatan and Hashi-soybean lecithin issues?
Hi everyone, I recently started with bioidentixal HRt (oestrodose and Ultrogestan(progesterone). I have hashimotoes so do not eat soy or gluten. Having taken it for about a month I noticed the corners of my inner eyes red and inflamed which is what I get when I consume allergens. On researching I found

High Cholesterol and Hyperthyroidism
I have been diagnosed with high cholesterol 7.04 with my LDL being 5.2 My HDL and Triglyercerides are within range. My diet is very good except I eat good quality dairy and some red meat. I also exercise daily. I take Berberine and a fish oil daily. Diet only contributes about 10% of cholesterol

CPAP machine / mask - looking for tips / experiences
hello Have posted in sleep matters but hoping to get to a wider audience here as can be a bit quieter on there. No problem if moderators remove as not heart related. But sleep apnea if left untreated apparently can negatively impact cardiac health. My heart condition is already untreatable and prognosis

got my cpap machine!
hello I have mild sleep apnea or as the staff put it when picked up machine “oh it’s only mild” 😊 So last night was night two, it was set at level 10 and I don’t mind at all the air pressure and having something on my face / head plus the squishing up of my nose. It’s not comfortable but it’s tolerable

Cost of running oxygen concentrators, Cpap etc.
Everyone, If you are concerned about the cost of running your 02 concentrator or Cpap then you can ask your 02 delivery company to reimburse the electricity costs every month. Send the readings into the company every month to get the regular payment. Make sure you register with your energy supply

Phillips cpap lawsuit
There is a lawsuit against Phillip cpap manufacturers because some of the models of machines cause lung damage from the foam. If you used a cpap, and have any lung issues, the machine might have destroyed your lungs. Look it up.

The struggle is real.
I have insomnia and anxiety. I think my insomnia has to do with sleep apnea for which I have Cpap. The insomnia sets off my anxiety. I'm trying so hard not to worry about everything but it's hard when you don't sleep.

Hi I was wearing my fit bit and noticed my deep sleep has been affected. Since, being diagnosed I have monitored the use of cpap vs nasal breathing. I get more deep sleep with nasal breathing and there are health benefits of breathing in nitric oxide while you sleep. I use surgical tape to cover up

I am very new and, so far, everyone has been very kind. Anyone else have trouble sleeping?
Last night, I spent many hours not sleeping and ended up on the computer, as usual. I think I slept a total of two hours and have been exhausted all day.My brain doesn't want to shut down. I have a CPAP machine because my doctor says I have sleep apnea. I also have a sound machine and a fan going, but

RLS? PLMD? Myoclonic Jerks? All of the above?
I am a 69 year old man in the United States. In 2016, I started experiencing leg spasms that would occur when I lie prone or leaned back in my recliner. I first noticed it during the day, but it would soon keep me from falling asleep and staying asleep. I mentioned it to a doctor I was visiting for

headaches #4
Back to tension headaches! I got to see my neurologist on Monday. He felt around, listened to what my other Drs had said, then said it’s definitely not migraines. He believes they are tension headaches due to spasms, not spasticity in my neck and shoulders. He told me to stop taking amitripaline,

homozygous, so I have the 2 copies for H63D. I’ve had a thought 💭
I’m homozygous/have the 2 copies for H63D. I’ve have higher ferritin levels over past 7/8 years ranges from circa 180 upto 380 at times. I found out as hubby bought me a Family history genetic test as a present and it included health DNA results. For years & prior to the genetic test & since, I have
