Traveling on a plane with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension
Hi I’m new to all this. My partner was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis back in may 2022 and spent 7 weeks in hospital. In February this year he was taken into intensive care with a GI bleed and needed blood transfusions and was told he had portal hypertension. He had a follow up endoscopy 4 weeks later

Blood Pressure tablets
I have raised blood pressure. Prof. Graham Hughes recommended Bendroflumethiazide 2.5mg tablets. These have been very good. However my blood pressure has risen slightly - I have tried amlodipine 5mg and also Ramipril 2.5mg and I have had side effects from both. My GP is not very helpful. Anybody

Recently been diagnosed with cardiomegaly and diastolic dysfunction. Am on my 5th blood pressure medication (tried ramipril, Losartan -chest tightness with both) had amlodipine but water retention and struggling to walk. Put on Indapamide- chest tightness again but reduced fluid now to try bendroflumethiazide

Alpha fetoprotein test for cirrhosis patients??
Hi, is it standard for this test to be done every 6 months with the liver scan? I've just had my bloods done (post liver scan and pre consultant appointment) and spotted that I have been tested for this for the first time and the results are hidden from my Patient Knows Best account ... should I be worried

How often should varices be checked?
My husband had three separate episodes of variceal bleeds in the fall of 2020. Esophageal and gastric varices which were either banded or glued. Sent home and no follow up, nothing. Now 18 months later he was back in hospital with another gastric bleed. It took four endoscopies to finally locate and

Should I be concerned
I am currently taking Ramipril 10mg , Lercandipine 20mg & Indapamide 2.5mg. Despite being on these my BP is still on the high side. I eat healthy, get plenty of exercise, don't drink or smoke. I have even cut caffeine out not that I drank much tea in the first place. When I first started Lercandipine

Stop taking tablets and BP goes down
I have suffered from high BP for 25 years, during which time I have been prescribed up to five tablets to be taken every day.

Oxycodone and Laxative
I have just started on Oxycodone to replace Oramorph... 5 mg fast relief . Suffering from Bladder Camcer. Problem is that I then need a laxative because both of the above make me constipated. Oxycodone appears not to react well with Dulcosoft laxative. Anyone any suggestions ?

the culprit is in the cbd I am taking
HI, thanks to all of you who have responded to my last post. After days of wondering as what is the reason the oxycodone I have taking for years lost effectiveness all of a sudden. It is not the pregabalin but the high-dose CBD I have been taking in the past half month reduces the effectiveness of

Contents of TEVA's other products?
This is not really a thyroid-related question, but I'm hoping someone knows the answer. I'm well aware of the problems with TEVA levothyroxine, and have successfully managed to avoid it so far. But my GP has recently diagnosed me with elevated blood pressure, and prescribed Ramipril for me. The 1.25mg

Liver Multiscan
I was very disheartened by my recent visit to the Gastro unit. It's been 12 years since I was diagnosed with Cryptogenic Liver Cirrhosis, I've been on Azathioprine for 11 of those with routine Ultrasound Scans and Endoscopies. Good news is the Endoscopies have now stopped as I have been on Nadalol beta
