New to all this
76 years old, no heart problems as far as I knew, just had one of my better games of golf for a couple of years and started to get an ache in my chest in the evening. So phoned the Healthline (I live in NZ) and they had a 30 minute wait, so tried the ambulance service, who operate a triage service.

10 year PMR anniversary! A new drug for me called Etanercept being advised.
Originally 'diagnosed' with PMR in 2014, initially controlled with prednisolone and then Methotrexate introduced in 2018 after I queried my diagnosis and treatment plan. A PET scan in 2018 by my new Rheumatologist satisfied him that I had PMR. Leflunomide trialled but did not work for me. My aim is

Sotalol and troubles breathing
I would like to reach out to see if anybody has ever had similar experience as I do at present.After 7 cardioversions and 2 ablations I was eventually and surprisingly converted to sinus 7months ago with Sotalol(amiodarone and flecainide failed to do so) and remained in sinus since. I am very active

biopsy report, still waiting to see consultant.
hi all, had an email with the below conclusion of my biopsy, I have a very minuscule left lobe which they want to biopsy but were unable to due to the size. So the right lobe was biopsied. Until I see the consultant I don’t really understand the results, I know none of you are specialist or doctors

Is it my lungs or PMR
I have gone back in my memory trying to figure out when my issues all began and in what order. I believe my PMR started in early 2019 when preparing for a dog show (possibly sooner and I just blamed it on old age LOL). Muscle weakness and shortness of breath were new to me. Over the next several months

What is an ablasion procedure is it safe?
Diagnosed with AFIB, cardiologist has suggested for me to look into ablasion proceedure. Taking Eliquis but an expensive drug to be on. Research shows this proceedure with ablasion only 70% successful to put heart back in a normal rhythem? Has anyone had this proceedure done?

Amiodarone again...loading dose?
I'm reluctantly back on Amiodarone ahead of a cardioversion in the next few weeks. I had an ablation five weeks ago and have been in AF for the duration.When I was originally on Amiodarone (before a successful carioversion) I started on a high loading dose. This time its 200mg once a day, the maintenance

Help and advice for mum
Hey All, My mum has hidden her drinking, liver issues and cirrorsis for 15 years as I’ve been living in a different country. She was taken into hospital last winter, and I was told it was related to her liver, but no real further detail. Attending a consultant appointment with her last week has unearthed

Compensated liver
I have went from ddcompensatd to compensated liver disease since being diagnosed in August 2023. I keep seeing prognosis is 9 to 12 years. Is this correct or can you live past 12 years. I haven't had any alcohol since diagnosed

Confused and seeking clarification
Hi folks . . . I have attached a letter from Hepatology which (to me anyway!) appears to contradict itself? In summary . . . a US in September 2021 showed increased parenchymal echogenicity (PE) due to fatty liver. Follow up bloods and a CT in April 2022 revealed nothing further. I then had a telephone

ET Increase in Platelets Linear or Random?
I've had ET since my early 30s and my platelets seem to be increasing by a set amount each year, I'm now in my 40s and platelets are at 900. It seems like I should be able to plot that and figure out when its going to get to a worrying level. So I guess I'd like to know at what level will I need to

occasional AF
My husband has recently had several bouts of AF lasting just a few minutes each. Heart rate only slightly raised. He is 72, pretty fit and not overweight. Had an ECG at the doctors which didn't detect AF. GP just said to leave it but call an ambulance if happens again and he is breathless. Is this how

Blood test Results AST/GGT
Hi all.I have a history of pancreatitis and liver issues. I did a private blood test in the week and it's come back that my AST and GGT are both high. GGT is worse. Should I be concerned?

Multaq Side Effects
Been on 400mg of Multaq bid for a month now and have had few issues with it so far but what I have noticed is that an hour or so after taking it I become extremely fatigued to the point I have to lie down for a nap. Is this something others have experienced? I was on Amiodarone for 6 months and had zero

liver transplant : build up
hi everyone I’m really in need of some support. I’m 37 and have liver failure . I went to see my consultant in Belfast a few weeks ago and was my doctor when I attended Antrim hospital hospital. She was extremely direct and blunt with myself. She said my score is is high but didn’t tell me the range.
