I’ve recently had bloods taken to test for FH and Lp(a) levels. I had a heart attack in 2022 at aged 51 and was started on a whole ton of medications afterwards including Atorvastatin 80mg and then a bit later adding in 10mg Ezetimibe. My LDL cholesterol has not been able to reach the target of 1.4

Living alone after open heart surgery
When discharged from hospital after open heart surgery are you able to look after yourself such as reaching up and down, carrying out laundry basket, lifting pots and pans, cooking, getting in and out of bath. Or is it expected you will have someone who can assist you. If you didn't have anyone what

This was the wee small hours so all electrical equipment was switched off . A tv , two phones and chargers, several lamps. I was about 22 feet away from

Opioids can cause adrenal insufficiency
Hi everyone, It appears that opioids can cause adrenal insufficiency. This is something I have not seen mentioned here. Does anyone know about this? Here are a few articles. I think this has relevance to anyone trying to taper through the lower doses of pred if they are taking opioids for pain or any

Alcoholism
I am lost and suffering with
mental

issues also. So I am turning to all the community on here, in desperation of some sort of help and support. The self harming should have been the Wake up call I needed, but I find myself just crying most of the time.

Thorocentecis
Hi guys....a recent CT scan showed some pleural effusion but nothing else...no nodes, growths or nodules, and a blood test showed no heart failure.I have to have the fluid removed on Monday and I'm bricking it already. I don't make a very good patient; former nurse; and I'm a wuss when it comes to pain

Yearly blood test
I take it many of you have reached the time when you are having your yearly blood test after heart bypass. I just wondered how conclusive and accurate you have found the results.

Resting HR on Bisoprolol
Hi everyone, I was put on 1.25 Bisoprolol in March when I had a heart attack and then told to take it twice a day in July when I went into Atrial Flutter after open heart surgery, meaning I'm now on 2.5mg. My resting heart rate was mostly in the low 60s these last 6 months which I assumed was good. The

NICE Guidelines under review
I was discussing B12 with a GP contact the other day who 'specialises in
Mental
Health
' and talked about the benefits of antidepressents. I said I wasn't a fan because it can be a way to avoid dealing with the root cause like hormonal imbalances, stress, trauma, and vitamin deficiencies.

I feel like I have failed
I was working day shifts in a
mental
health
setting and I could not keep up with the work so I changed to night shifts . I thought this was a good decision as nights are quieter. I work alone and worked waking nights. I tryed to work as long as I possibly could but I am in constant pain every day.

Questions
The time has come when I need to make a decision about whether to go with hemo or peritoneal dialysis. That brings up many questions. If on peritoneal dialysis do you ever get a decent nights sleep or are you constantly awakened with alarms pain etc. Is the machine very loud - I have a hard time

Regular care
I was diagnosed with AF around four years ago now, by a cardiologist in a major teaching hospital. I was put on anticoagulants and referred back to my GP. The local surgery check my meds yearly and I have an annual blood test, but that’s it. I am wondering whether I should ask to be referred back to

After my cardiology review midweek I’m being booked in for an angiogram and it’s been suggested I will be considered for an aortic valve replacement in the next couple of months.

How do I know if I'm fixed? Calling all runners!
Hi, I'm a 59 year old male who's been running (Half and full Marathon) for about 12 years (previously a regular swimmer and cyclist). I've always been fit and lived what I thought was a healthy lifestyle, never smoked, little alcohol, avoided fast foods, minimal red meat, mostly chicken and fish. I

Heart rate tracker anomalies
Hi everyone, I'm getting quite anxious due to my Fitbit reporting strange peaks in my heart rate. This was 4:37 this morning, and back to 70bpm 3 mins later. I slept through this so have no idea if it's accurate. Yesterday it said my heart was 187bpm while I was walking briskly to meet someone for lunch

Dilated Cardiomyopathy/ Heart Transplant
I was diagnosed with Dilated Cardiomyopathy in November 2022 after suffering shortness of breath and always being tired and breathless. I quickly deteriorated and when I went back to see my Cardiologist in January I was told I was now critical and needed to be admitted and put on the urgent transplant
