Cystoscopy - advise please
Good Morning! My husband has just received his letter calling him to hospital for the above procedure in a couple of weeks. He uses ambulatory oxygen so we will take that with us and I have noted it says that the "nurse will talk you for the procedure" - doubtful will get a wheelchair. Just wondered

INR when taking Fragminshot-
My Hematologist at the hospital (she knows me since several years) wants me at an INR of 2.5 - 3.5. I am selftesting and only go to the lab every 8 weeks. Most of the time I am on an INR of 3.5. I have been much higher with no bleeding but take it down with brusselsprouts in 24 hours if it is too high

Warfarin Alternatives
I'm currently on warfarin but in the very early stages of considering one of the alternatives. My first question arises from the fact that dabigatran is taken twice a day, apixaban twice a day but, as I understand it, rivaroxaban is only once a day? Given that 'once a day' is surely more convenient

Conflicting GP advice
I had a few clots 20+years ago , was diagnosed as having APS on warfarin for 5+ years. Then consistently tested negative for all clotting disorders. I came off warfarin and was just on Aspirin no problems for years. Have felt a bit 'off colour' for a few months and at the beginning of July discovered

Protein s deficiency
Hi Was diagnosed with DVT and been on Heparin (now off) and Warfarin for nearly two months out of a three month treatment time. There was no obvious reason for the DVT and all the main factors were ruled out and I'm an active 36 yr old. My GP sent me for a lot of blood tests and I believe they took about

argh, side effects
So I was feeling better again over the last week and thought there's hope I get rid of the side effects by eventually taking less meds. This morning my lung volume was somewhat reduced again :( I have Ventolin, which only kind of works when using a nebuliser Salmeterol Montelukas At least the first

Lung function tests?
I have stage 1 very mild bullous emphysema, I had a lung volume test in 2012 and 2013 should I have one every year, I had a ct scan back in 2011 and nothing since. After my 2013 lung volume test doc said I was caught very early and since I have a good fev of 79% to 81% there was no need for follow ups

Asthma, or panic?
Hello all, I've been on a strange trip these past few days. The night from Wednesday to Thursday I woke up not being able to exhale. So I woke my husband, decided on the nearest ER vs ambulance and he drove me there. After a blood test and an ecg they diagnosed hyperventilation and a panic attack.

Spirometry result
I had my spirometry test on Tuesday and it has come back as normal, I think it's FEV 77 and FVC 79 from what I can see. My lung age is 64, I'm 51, so that's not too good. So apparently I don't yet have COPD, but at high risk of developing it, so def need to stop smoking. The nurse gave me some champix

Has anyone else come across Repneu lung reduction coils?
Does anyone know about a new treatment for COPD called 'RePneu' lung volume reduction coils. The treatment consists of coils made from nitinol (nickel and Titanium) 150mm long. A sheath initially keeps them straight but when released they spring into coils. When inside the lungs the spring gathers up
