Weaker left ventricle function (LVEF)
Hello all. I had a routine ECG for something else and they picked up I have a weaker left ventricle function(LV EF). This is 45-50% and apparently 'normal' is 50-75%. I am a very fit 50 year old woman, I have no symptoms - feel fit as a fiddle!. I have no background history of that might be causing this

hypothyroid pins and needles in feet
I have been Hypo for 20+ years and since last winter I have pins and needle like pain in my feet. This is almost constant but becomes much worse when cold. Toes are cold to the touch and not pink. Dr has diagnosed Reynards but I’m not sure this is correct as it doesn’t appear in bursts. Does anyone

Coughing badly after virus ...
Hi allI had a really nasty cold/cough which has left me with a bad cough and a flare up of asthma. Currently on holiday in India and although I am taking Fostair with a a couple of shots of ventolin inbetween, the cough is not dissipating. It's particularly bad at night. The pollution in India is bad

Lung nodule
I had a CT scan in hospital while being treated for pneumonia. I understand it could be due to infections or scaring in my lungs. It is also quite common (35%) for people to have these. I going back for an x ray in early January.

Flu vaccine post covid
Hope everyone is well. I got covid early last month(September), how long should one wait before getting the flu vaccine. I have read/ been told, once you’re feeling better your can have your flu jab. It’s been a month for me since having covid, and feel it should be fine to get the flu jab now.

Hi everyone, I'm a long time ThyroidUK participant. Right now the thyroid replacement is good, vitamins, minerals, are all great. I'm very particular to ensure this. I use HRT (Triestrogen/progesterone) topical cream and have used since age 45 and I'm now 65. Here's the problem: in March

Rise in CA125
I’ve recently have had Pneumonia and Pleurisy. My CA125 was checked yesterday and my CNS has just called me to say that it has risen to 64. She also said that it can rise due to the pneumonia and they will discuss it at next weeks MDT meeting. There is a possibility they may repeat my bloods in 4 weeks

Heart problems and the Covid autumn booster
Just had an interesting thought I'm below the 65 age limit for the covid autumn booster but I automatically get the flu jab each year as I have other problems. After having a heart attack last year would this qualify me for the autumn booster or not I had it last autumn but the goal post for age has
