Ace inhibitors versus arbs
I am new to the forum. I have taken blood pressure medication for a number of years: 25mg Atenolol; 2.5mg Ramipril and as these didn't control BP, bendroflumathiazide was added. With the medication BP was around 145/75. My GP stopped bendroflumothiazide last year. Ramipril was increased, but BP

How cholesterol varies among us
There has been quite a lot of discussion about cholesterol recently. Sometimes it looks as if anyone who is hypothyroid will have high cholesterol (however measured). Also, that this high cholesterol will remain high in many of us. Thought I’d point out that it is perfectly possible to have low cholesterol

Query re endoscopy to view duct in pancreas.
Hello everybody I have a slightly prominent duct in my pancreas and elevated enzymes in my blood tests. I am having (my first!) endoscopy in a 2 weeks. I am wondering whether the camera ever picks any other issues up apart from what it's looking for. Such as other issues with the bowel or stomach? I

UK RLS sufferers this is for you.
This week I received an Email from Professor David Nutt also from our Manerva ;] Buprenorphine in the form of TEMGESIC 200mcg is available from your GP also I suspect Norspan patches which is buprenorphine dosing starting at 5mg. Buprenorphine is a very superior drug it hangs onto very few receptors
