Newbie with High blood pressure
Hello, have recently discovered that I have high BP at a five yearly NHS health check a month ago.. Was prescribed 2.5 dose Felodopine ( as am 76 it is apparently best to start low). Last time I was checked 6 years ago I was 120/80 but was 145/95 at this last check. Over a week of checking my blood

Thyroid Ultrasound
Hi I posted last year regarding thyroid nodules and someone was asking about thyroid blood tests which I didn’t really have. Well…..things have progressed and I wondered if anyone in the community has any advice on my latest ultrasound results. I had it done privately as NHS was completely dismissive

Hypothyroidism and other health issues
Hi, Can someone please tell me if people suffering from hypothyroidism can get anxiety and high blood pressure? All my heart related blood tests are normal but I still don't know why my blood pressure is high all of a sudden? I have also started getting panic attacks and feel anxious 24/7 for no reason

Low ferritin
Opinions please on low ferritin. Had a blood test last week to rule out CA and my ferritin level is 11. Range is 10 - 150. I have several symptoms of iron deficiency and just wondering if it is actually too low. GP states that is still in range. Any thoughts please?

Monitor My Health iron test - lack of ranges
I spent a bit more money on my MMH test this year as I’ve never had an iron panel done but have always had low iron indicators on a full blood test. I didn’t get complete results as ferritin failed (posting the kit back took 48 hours when it was tracked to take 24) but the results I did get, I can’

Does it sound like PMR?
I have been to several specialists, but no one understands what is happening to me, their eyes always ends up swimming in their faces. After countless hours googling, I found this forum a could finally recognise things you have described here. I woke up with excruciating pain after a parathyroidectomy

Iron Study - Iron improves RLS
Another study shows that iron improves RLS. We cannot access the full article, but the evidence is mounting. There are now many trials proving that iron treatment helps RLS. If your doctor is still refusing to take full iron panel blood tests, please refer them to the Mayo Clinic Algorithm and the latest

Excessive Bleeding Experiences
Hello,I was wondering if anyone out there had a similar experience to me recently. I have been bleeding for 4 months non stop. It's not painful, the blood used to be a mix of old and fresh, recently it has been very bright and fresh. I first saw a nurse who was amazing- she did a general blood test

Hi Until December last I was taking 40 mg iron bisglycinate with orange juice every two days. Since this had little impact on my RLS I increased the iron dose to 40mg every day from December until now. As yet I have noticed little change to my RLS symptoms. A blood test this month showed my ferritin

Hyperthyroid symptoms and dosage?
I was diagnosed with borderline hyperthyroidism in 2020 due to a toxic multinodular goitre and started on 5mg Carbimazole which I’ve taken since that time. I’ve never felt that the medication has completely controlled my hyper symptoms and still have bouts of sleeplessness and racing heart. My endocrinologist

Should blood tests be more frequent?
I keep reading about the importance of a correct blood sugar level! However, I’m under the impression that I’ll only be getting tested once a year from now on! Surely, a lot of damage can be done in the year between tests. Thinking of going down the road of testing sugar levels at home! Has anyone else

Advice on Thyroid blood tests please?
hello everyone, could I get some input on my brother’s thyroid results please as I am attending his GP appointment with him. He has had three lots of thyroid testing since December 2023 and I think the first two results indicated Hypo and I believe that he should have been treated. However, a third

NDT and NHS blood tests
Hello everyone, I'm just curious about NDT (I'm using Armour) and its status within NHS. I understand it is not a licensed medicine here. I asked my GP practice if they would be happy to provide me with blood tests to monitor my bloods, however I got a phone call from admin stating they would not
