Sauna/ Steam room/ after bypass.
Hi everyone, hope everything is going ok. Just wondered if anyone who has had a triple heart bypass has been told not to use any of these? Also thinking are you aloud to use a hot tub? Just thinking, as I would like to possibly join a health club. Thanks.

Apixaban side effects.
I have a new cardiologists. Hurray! He has taken me off xerolto, because of many violent nosebleeds. He says apixaban hopefully will reduce or eliminate these bleeds. My question is has anyone had any disturbing side effects from apixaban? I am starting on it today. Other than nosebleeds life is grand

Should I worry after heavy fall?
I was carrying a very heavy bedside cabinet and fell on the floor, no warning nor trip that I'm aware of. I think I may have fainted. Anyway, serious bruises to my arms and a hefty wack to my chest. Now some serious pain in chest mechanics and some loose clicking in ribs at bottom rib level. I had open

Has anyone been in so much pain that they find it distressing?
I'm having a really bad endometriosis flare up at the moment and the pain is becoming so severe that I'm getting distressed. I've taken pain meds, I've got a tens machine on, I've used aromatherapy and haven't done much today but the pain is still unbearable. Has anyone else experienced this? And if

Researchers find 10-minute add-on heart surgery cuts stroke risk by one-third
As long as surgeons have a patient under anesthesia for one heart procedure, they may as well make it two—and according to a new study, the benefits in preventing future strokes could last a lifetime.

Tens machines RSL
Back on the RSL with the talk of tens machines for pain I wonder if you could use one on your head to try and scramble the signals as when it’s bad I go under the shower as hot as pos and as forceful it helps quite a lot but staying in there all night isn’t fun always think it’s just my brain not wired

Good days and Bad days (i rant and vent) read or not i'm just going to drop my feelings here.
We all have them, the good days, and the bad ones? (rant about the bad days) I feel the time between the good days are getting longer and longer though. I've been zoning out more, having less reality in my life, finding the blury days mould into weeks of endless slumping zoning groaning urging headaching

Tens machine
Do any of you lovely people use TENS machines to help with their RA? Are they any good? Googling suggests you talk to a physio and perhaps try one out, but the chances of talking to a physio are rather remote at present.

Heart Transplant
Has anyone else with Cardiomyopathy been told that their only option left is a Heart Transplant? Just received this info from Hospital 4 days ago and it's left me feeling so numb. Is anyone else going through this.

Great Words by Dylan Thomas - praying we all don’t go down easily in this struggle.
Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how

TENS machine to manage period/miscarriage cramping
A little tip that has been a life changer for me and that I wanted to share to all ladies out there: I suffer from terrible period cramps that incapacitate me for a couple of days each month and that I felt I had to over-medicate myself to get to a tolerable enough level (= in a half comatose state in

Peak flow readings
Good morning all. I’ve recently been diagnosed with Heart Failure and I’ve been asked to use a peak flow meter to check my lungs. Over the last week my average is around 575 (I’m a 6ft - 68 years old- male). I think this is ok and shows my breathlessness is caused by my Heart Failure. My question is
