Statins
I had a call from my GP surgery about taking statins.Apparently my cholesterol is okay but I have a 38% risk of having a stroke or heart attack. Even though I take anticoagulant statins work in a different way and are recommended for me as I am in persistent afib I do not want to take statins but wondered

Do the NHS test for active b12 aswell a total b12?
I wonder because my sister was diagnosed with pernicious anemia years ago but now they say her b12 levels are really high normal.

accidental overdose of thyroxine
I’m on 100 mcg thyroxine and the kart prescription they only had 25 mcg so I was taking 4 tablets a day and then the recent prescription was 100 mcg. I’ve just realised today that I’ve been taking 4 100 mcg a day I think for 4 days from how many are gone. In a bit of a panic. I’ve rang 111 and they called

digoxin
Have been on Digoxin now for 6/12 and it has had a profound effect. Unable to take more modern drugs because I have Asthma. I am certainly much better than I was. I think it’s probably your hypotension drug causing your problems and have a consultation with your Gp.

"Failed" exercise stress test
I have AF, gradually worsening, with chest and throat pain during episodes. Cardiologist did an exercise stress test on Tuesday and stopped the test after 3 minutes. He told me I have ischaemic heart disease - which is a bit galling as I have never smoked and do not eat red meat, cheese, eggs etc. -

Bisoprolol
Hello, The cardiologist has swapped my medication from Verapamil to Bisoprolol, 2.5mg/day. So far so good as far as side effects go 👍 but there is one thing. I can't seem to get warm since the swap. The temperature here in the north east has dropped since our couple of days of summer but it's more than

I have just been diagnosed with a fib, after years of suspecting something was amiss, but never having episodes when a doctor, and even a cardiologist, was seeing me. I bought a Kardia6L, which showed many afib episodes. I took that to my GP of 13 years, and he immediately swung into impressive action

Permanent AFib
Started on Digoxin .25 daily for past six days and cut Lopressor down to 25 twice a day. Am going to try to wean off. HR 80-110. Generally do not feel well and am going to revisit ablation. I had blurring of vision and dizziness on higher doses of Lopressor alone. Last cardioversion only lasted

Hi Everyone. Has anybody received a letter yet about their April Covid jab? You follow the NHS App and it brings up an out of date link telling you about Autumn 2023 jabs. It then tells you further down that the page will be updated in 2026. I just looked on my personal NHS account and nowhere can

panicking!
Hi, My husband was diagnosed over 10 years ago with Prostate cancer with PSA 18 and Gleeson 4+3. He was never offered prostatectomy as they said there was a small metastases on the pelvis. So he had 2 weeks of radiation on his hip, and was then treated with 6 monthly injections of Decapeptyl, which

Rheumy Nurse?
I am puzzled. This site has many references to apparent support teams. I am delighted if that is general. For myself the only contact with the NHS I have is my GP. It is alleged that there is a very overdue appointment with a consultant. Maybe I shall be able to elicit information about some kind

PSA test at a different lab
I will be spending the winter in Florida. I have always had my PSA tested in Boston at the same medical facility for the last 7 years. In a perfect world I would travel back to Boston for a few day. Any feedback would be appreciated Thanks

Cholesterol and QRISK score
My GP has just completed my annual review and has referred me to the GP specialist Pharmacist to discuss statins. My cholesterol has always been well controlled with a reading of around 5 (I was told my good cholesterol was excellent). This year it has increased to 5.16 and he has also completed a QRISK

Next step..
Gleason 9, s/practice RP. PSA UP to 0.2 8 months later. PSMA showed 4 hot spots all in pelvis. Started on zytiga and lupron same time as radiation started. PSA has remained < 0.04 for 17 months now. Considering the aggressive nature of my cancer, should I insist on a scan even when PSA <0.04 or

Hello again
I posted a little while ago, that I had been diagnosed with cirrhosis just over a year ago as a progression of NAFLD that I was unaware of. I had been waiting results of DEXA scan which did show thinning of bones and an US which showed no abnormalities. (The cirrhosis had been diagnosed from a Fibroscan
