At my wits end
I am from NZ and have been desperate with my RLS also for months, sometimes not getting to sleep till 4.30am!! I finally went back to my Dr saying something had to be done as I couldn’t carry on with no sleep. I’ve been on 1-2 Madopar for years but it just isn’t working now. As well as Madopar, I

Exercise and medications for PAF
I've been on propafenone (150mg three times/day) and diltiazem for about 2 months now, and my PAF is now well controlled on these meds. I'm on the waiting list for an ablation and have been told it will be 6 months or so before I am likely to get a slot for the procedure. The big issue for me now is

Statins and levo
I have been treated for hypothyroidism for several years now and have been stable for the last few.

Bisoprolol fumarate with possible AF and raised blood pressure
I was perscribed 1.25mg Bisoprolol fumarate due to possible AF and raised blood pressure. My blood pressure at the surgery was 150/91 with heart rate of 80. I have been taking Bisoprolol fumarate for 7 days. I purchased my own blood pressure monitor, made by Omron. Unfortunately I didn't buy the monitor

For cholesterol blood test or Calcium Score?
Please read this true interesting story. NHS still not doing Calcium score, private test can cost up to £ 150.00 pounds! "But he was alarmed to discover that, aged 42, his cholesterol levels were high, at 8.5 — with his level of ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol at 6.2. His GP advised that he start on statins immediately

Ablation and travel
Hello everyone! Just found this site as a lay awake. (Not sleeping well lately). I’m having an ablation under general anesthesia this Wednesday. I’d planned to do it after a planned trip to the Grand Canyon but I had another episode of feeling like I would black out so the doctor moved it up sooner.

AF meds and Valium
Hi all, don't remember asking this first because I'm super worry but, please, anybody has been prescribed Valium when on Digoxin, Flecainide, Sotalol? It appears to relax me and have better sleep, and I only have it some time. I don't think it affects me as it does to others. The Cardiologist prescribed

Ramipril 2.5mg
I've been taking these for just over a week now as felodipine didn't suit. I've developed stomach cramps and wondered if it's connected to ramipril. Doctor s surgery is not available so cannot ask any questions

Fail Lumbar Microdiscectomy
Has any else had a failed Microdiscectomy? I had L5 & L4 shaved down in May 2019 and since then the pain has gradually gotten worse. The pain never left completely but did get much better. My recent MRI is showing servere compression on the nerve again from both discs, my specialist is now sending me

Understanding Portal Hypertension
Please can someone explain to me (in a really simple way), what Portal Hypertension is, what are the symptoms and why would I not be informed I have it (by Liver Consultant) when my Diabetic Consultant knows and, once again, nobody has considered it prudent to inform me. Dr Google does not explain

Should I take BP meds?
My blood pressure puzzles me, I'd be grateful for advice. I brought my home monitor into the room I was sitting in and took my bp about half an hour later, it was 158/85. I didn't panic, did about a minute of deep breaths then took it again 3 times, readings were 120/72 then 116/70 and finally 114/69

Looking for help to understand latest blood results please
I’d really appreciate help with b/t results please. It was a fasting test @ 8.30 a.m, no Levo since previous morning . No supplements for 1 month before test. I would like to start any supplements needed but am going to order a private fingerprick test to check T3. Should I wait until I’ve done T3
