Fibroscan results terrible but not unexpected
So took hubby for fibroscan today. He was diagnosed in sept and we've had ultrasounds CT scan ascites drain X2 and on lots of meds. Also been told it's stage 4 cirrhosis so pretty prepared but fibroscan was 74 and confirmed F4 cirrhosis. We knew that it'd be high but still tough news. Thank goodness

Would CT Scan, MRI & MRCP have shown something up?
Hi there Following on from my previous post and as more of general question, i have had a CT scan of my Pancreas & Liver, an MRCP and an MRI and every time I have asked the consultant they have said my liver is okay. I read the report from the CT scan and they said liver was okay and they picked up other

Lexapro or Prozac - what works better for arrhythmia?
I was wondering if anyone here had an experience with either Lexapro or Prozac working for their arrhythmia? I was on Lexapro for quite a few years, but didn't have the irregular heartbeats at that time. Then I decided to stop the Lexapro as I was gaining too much weight. After 2 months from stopping

Afib or flutter?
What is the difference between Afib and flutter? I’ve been having bouts of quivering in my chest - side of rib cage really - and it’s really worrying me, particularly as I also have PVCs and a history of RVOT tachycardia. I’ve had a recurrence of tachycardia over the past month - heartbeat of around

Fears over fluttering in chest
I’ve had bouts of tachycardia and PVCs for 7 years, usually controlled by Flecainide and Verapamil. The tachycardia’s started again lately - 6 bouts over the past 6 weeks, heart rate about 100bpm, lasting 2 hours usually. Also now I have a fluttering/quivering sensation in my chest, and a different feeling

Diagnosing cirrhosis.
Good Morning, I was wondering how accurate is a ultrasound in diagnosing cirrhosis? I had a scan and they say that the liver looks coarse and you have or may have cirrhosis!! I’m not clear if I don or I don’t!! Few years back I had a biopsy and I was diagnosed with fibrosis but I think this time it’s

Does hypothyroidism affect urinary tract and bladder?
I have noticed a significantly slower flow and less need to pee. Also my tummy is pretty distended. NHS say that I am Hashi but not hypothyroidal. Both my ths and T4 tests are in the bottom 25-30% of the range and have been for many years. I had post partum overactive in 1999. I have TPO antibodies in

Raised heart rate and regular ectopics
I was diagnosed with RVOT in 2013 and have had PVCs for years. Over the past few weeks I’vd had regular bouts of increased heart rate - between 80s and mid 90s - for up to 2 hours at a time, (that’s high for me) with thumping ectopics. This is scary. I take Flecainide and Verapamil and can’t help thinking

Heart problems, stomach problems...normal tests.
So, about 3 months ago I was hospitalized with sepsis. I was hooked to an IV for 3 weeks with constant daily antibiotics. Ever since I've been out of the hospital, I've had a lot of strange issues with my heart...and now my stomach. As far as my heart goes, it started with bouts of rapid heartbeat or

Blood test shows high potassium
Hi everyone, I posted recently about concerns about endocarditis. I had a blood test for that on Tuesday and the surgery rang a few minutes ago to say it showed my potassium levels were high at 5.5 and could I repeat the blood test in a month’s time. The surgery’s now closed so of course no Doctors are

CIRRHOSIS?
Cirrhosis could mean just liver was slightly damaged, not physically cirrhosis. I have a meld score of 6 7. I had acute liver failure, but not from alcoholism. I was in critical care, but in best shape of my life workout 6 days a week. I remember my specialist said once that cirrhosis could be just a

Endocarditis concerns
I have leaky heart valves (Mitral and Tricuspid) and am very worried at the moment about Endocarditis. I haven’t got a temperature, but have had mild, cold-like symptoms on and off for a few weeks, with the occasional night sweat and occasional shivering. None of these are permanent, and I’ve been getting
