Cirrhosis / not cirrhosis
Hello. I had an ultrasound scan and hep consultation (privately) in Aug 20 which revealed fatty liver and early stage cirrhosis (coarse liver outline). I was then referred by my GP to the liver clinic at my local hospital and I had a Doppler portal vein and abdominal ultrasound this morning. The person

Doxycycline
Hi everyone, For about five months now I have had symptoms (trapped urine/always feeling like i needed to pee/irregular bleeding especially after sex). My doctor prescribed me nitrofurantoin for a uti which didn't help at all. I was tested for a uti a couple of weeks later and the test came back negative

Paracentesis. Is this the beginning of the end?
My ex has a massive stomach. Looks like a 9 month pregnant lady. He is now being told that he needs it to be drained. A year ago he was told that if he didn’t give up drinking he had a life expectancy of 2 years. He didn’t give up drinking and shamefully boasted that he planned to go for the ‘2 year

Supraventricular Ectopy and premature ventricular contractions
I have been experiencing the above almost permanent since last Friday . I normally have PAF and ectopics from time to time . It’s been suggested by my cardiac nurse to start Flecanide 50mg twice a day . I’ve had a blood test but no ecg/echo . They want a ecg 2 weeks after I start the flecanide.

Heart Monitor for PVCs/Bigeminy
I developed PVCs/bigeminy & shortness of breath after my 2nd Pfizer shot. I was referred to a cardiologist and I'm now on a heart monitor for a week and will have a treadmill stress test in 3 weeks. Shortness of breath is gone, thankfully, and I feel good. What is my doctor looking for on the monitor

Sleep and heart health.
Does anybody know if there is a possible link between poor sleep/insomnia and heart health ? The reason is I have always been poor sleeper due mainly to work shift patterns. I also have a slightly obstructive airway by way of a long suffered deviated septum. Over the past couple of years I have been

PVC’s - Did You Ever Find The Cause?
Just that really! Out of the blue started suffering frequent symptomatic PVCs. I’m having the symptoms treated but have no idea what’s the cause. Does anyone who suffers with them know what causes theirs? Does finding out help make them stop?

High heart rate at night
I have been suffering from night time PVC 's for around five years. I have had every test under the sun incuding angiogrammes and calcium scoring, only to conclude that there is just normal wear and tear on my heart. However recently things have been getting worse and my heart rate ( I wear a wrist

Low platelets, ITP and SLE
I read somewhere that if you have a low platelet count, mine is 38/40 , not to have the Pheizer jab. Does anyone have any knowledge of this. I am currently not on any medication. Thank you. Stay safe, stay warm.

Are you heart palpitations this severe?
Hi, I am a 38 yo female who has been experiencing heart palpitations my entire adult life. I have had Holters, ECGs, and echos, and only PVCs and suspected inappropriate sinus tachycardia have been diagnosed. I have learned to live harmoniously with the occasional flip-flops and tachycardia. However,

Heart rate still high after exercise
I recently purchased a heart rate monitor that you wear as a watch and noticed when I exercise and get my heart rate to 110 bpm let’s say after walking up a hill etc, my heart rate is still late 90’s for up to a hour after. Or sometimes it just stays not much lower than my peak heart rate. I get

5 times larger stroke risk

Fatty liver scan results
Hi, I posted here a few weeks ago after getting raised LFTs in blood tests. I was referred for an ultrasound scan and just got the results. The summary said ‘ diffuse fatty infiltration/parenchymal disease.’ It also mentioned slightly bulky liver. The practise nurse who called me about it said it could

PVC’s
Hi everyone. It’s been 8 months tomorrow that I had my SVT Ablation. I am back to working out regularly, and I also got a new job while being a full time student. I am still taking my metoprolol twice a day, even though I really should start weaning myself off of it. I am scared to do that though because

Fluid Buildup and Liver Dysfunction
So my friend's blood pressure stabilized after a drop that occurred after ascites drained. But his reports show his liver is functioning only 10% and fluid has accumulated all over body, including lungs. Will they be able to drain the fluid? What can we expect in terms of recovery?

Meal replacement shakes and soups
