Chronic Respiratory Acidosis – What Stage is too much?
Hello, I was diagnosed yesterday with respiratory acidosis. I suspect I have had this for a very long time, having attempted repeatedly to find answers about why I was feeling unwell for the past year. For the past year, I've suffered numerous bouts of staring into space, freezing mentally with a burning

Well hello everyone! I am on my second DVT since September 2015 I have just had my second review with my consultant to be told he thinks its Thrombophilia but cannot confirm or test me as I cannot come off Warfarin for longer then 7 days in one go. I managed to have a single large clot in my Femoral

Two truths and a lie
Up until now, the only thing that got me nervous was when my little girls went out for the night, and of naturally, right before I say Worcestershire sauce. But everything's changed. Been diagnosed with COPD (truth), had to quit smoking (truth), telling everyone around me "I'm fine, it's all good,

Confused about COPD diagnosis.
Hello everyone. I was just diagnosed with COPD after they ruled out Pulmonary Fibrosis with a normal HRCT scan. I have 46 percent lung function and my DLCO is at 49 percent. I have what they are calling a mixed obstructive/restrictive lung disease. They started me on a long acting inhaler called Stiolto

Discussing NOAC/Warfarin question.
I had an interesting session with my INR nurse, who, in conjunction with one of the GPs in our practice, who runs all things to do with AF. I asked her opinion on the pros and cons of switching to a NOAC and was given a very full run down. I mentioned the extra cost over Warfarin and was told it made

keep moving
I've had copd for around 10 years now. Oxygen 24/7. Three months ago I couldn't walk from one room to another without resting. Then 9 weeks ago I had lung volume reduction surgery. Yesterday I walked 6.17 miles. Unbelieveable the difference. I feel like someone lifted the elephant off my chest.

Warfarin, Verapamil and Aspirin
I intend to ask my doctor, but talking to a fellow AF'er who is not permanent he takes aspirin as well as Warfarin. I'm wondering if this would be safe with Verapamil also. He says, taking low dose aspirin makes the platelets have a shiny surface so that they can't stick to each other and form clots.

Copd diagnosed 5 years ago (2011)
Hello all, thought I would share my recent results which I am very happy with: I was diagnosed with copd 5 years ago, had been smoking 20 per day for 38 years. I stopped on 27 May 2012 at 5.45pm! My fev1 was 72% then. (Moderate) Over past 4 years I took up gym and swimming regularly - I am now 56,

I already have retinA at home, wondering if I should use it.
about a year ago, way before my Dx, I bought retinA serum to treat my skin against the sun damage and the acne scars I had. I used it for a while on my face with a combination of vitamin C serum. All this bought on Ebay and without medical guidance I must say. I think we all heard about the promising

READING BREATHING TESTS
Hi, a spirometer is a device one puts on the finger to determine oxygen content of blood and pulse rate. It is small and you can order it on Amazon. The top number is the oxygen content of your blood which should be above 90. In healthy people it's between 90 and 95, If your O2 (oxygen) levels go down

Common Variable Immune Deficiency
Compared to other human immune defects, CVID is a relatively frequent form of primary immunodeficiency, found in about 1 in 25,000 persons; this is the reason it is called “common.” The degree and type of deficiency of serum immunoglobulins, and the clinical course, varies from patient to patient, hence

Update from heart Doctor app!
Hi guys! Update on Mondays visit to cardiologist appointment... I Doctor said my EKG looked great, and also after reviewing my heart echo results, she feels that she has no belief that anything is going on with my heart that is connected to my breathing issues. This was a huge relief to me, as Pulmonary

PE and continued breathlessness
Hi, I suffered with unprovoked multiple bilateral PE in October 2014, was put on walfarin lifelong though switched over to rivaroxaban about 10 months ago for ease of management. I still find that I'm pretty much constantly short of breath and often feel fatigued. I'm beginning to lose confidence in
