Cardiovascular side effects of Lupron?
I have had premature ventricular contractions show on stress EKG's for 40 years; doctors said "harmless". When RP failed after 7 years, I started Lupron 2 months ago on top of vitamin C and alpha Lipoic acid infusions, and many supplements. There was a period when pulse rate fell in 40's, but now back

Blood Test Results
Hello, I recently had blood work completed and just downloaded the results. To put it mildly, I’m freaking out. Most of the results related to the liver are elevated. I would greatly appreciate it anyone out there could take a look and let me know if I should be concerned. See below. Thanks, Brian

Acid reflux
Hi all, I've had reflux to some extent since my late teens. Found out I had a large hiatal hernia in 06'. I had surgery to repair it in 08'. Everything was great for about four years,no reflux or stomach issues and didn't need any meds or any anti acids. Then I started having a little reflux again. Had

Back home after cryoablation
Hi all,just got home from hospital a couple hours ago. Everything went well, EP was very happy with procedure. I was in afib when I showed up, had been for three days so he didn't have to get it started. Afib stopped during ablation and they gave me some type of super adrenaline to see if I would go

I saw a consultant and she said I had grade 'A' cirrhosis and I needed bloods , ultrasound and gastroscopy. Following my ultrasound last Tuesday, I arrived home to find an appointment

Atrial runs
Hello, Can anyone explain the significance of atrial beat runs, around 8-10 in quick succession, one straight after another? Is this classed as afib or atrial tachycardia? More often than not they one straight after the other with no breaks, but sometimes there's the odd PVC thrown in for good measure

New girl!
After being diagnosed with an enlarged liver and spleen and low platelets 5 years ago, I have just been told (following a Fribroscan) that I have a Matavir score of F4. Apart from having been overweight for most of my life, I have no other predisposing factors. This feels like a rather scary result.

HPS - Just how common with Cirrhosis?
So, I am NO expert, I am an expert in Statistics, but not medicine. HPS ... 30-40% of people with Cirrhosis have HPS? First thing, get your Oxygen checked - one of them finger SpO2 or SaO2 things. If normal, your reading is 96-100%. Below 94 is not good, mine is 88% resting, drops under 80 with any

Does anyone suffer from cystitis?
Hi, I suffer with endo. Recently after every period I find to suffer from cystitis? I know there isn't a link between this and endo, but I just wondered if anybody else with endo experienced this too?

Multiple heart issues
44 yr old male. I had a massive "Widowmaker" M.I. one week before I turned 38 y.o. One year later I had an ICD implanted due to CHF and cardiomyopathy. For the most part (although considered disabled) I have lived a pretty good life despite having an EF ranging from 10-25% at different times (fluctuating

What to expect after SVT ablation
Good Morning! I am new here but I underwent a cardiac ablation for an SVT on this past Friday the 27th. To give you some background, I was born with Congenitally Corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries. In other words my lower heart chamber is completely reversed. I also have situs inversus, a
