2nd night home
My partner is 45 and was told 3 weeks ago that he was suffering from panic attacks after we rushed him to A&E , in the following week the pains got worse so we asked the G.P for a second opinion, the G.P prescribed beta blockers and arranged a phone appointment for next week with a cardiologist, unfortunately

diet benefits?
Dear all, I thought my story might be of interest to some. 3 yrs ago I collapsed in the gym with some sort of arrhythmia which spontaneously recovered after half an hour. During that episode I never had any chest pain. I was subsequently investigated and by exercise echocardiogram was found to have exercise

Minor Aortic calcification and 1st Degree Heart Block
Advised by cardiologist no need to flag these on travel insurance.? Ummm not sure that's wise, no related symptoms or medication. He says this doesn't constitute aortic stenosis and heart block is benign. Have declared my CVD and stent and all medications. Don't want to over state my conditions but

I’m sorry I’m so unsure of what my figures should be - little background info - approx 25 years ago had thyroid removed due to multinodular goiters - 6years ago had Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (discharged with clear arteries) which my doctor indicated could be due to too much thyroxine so reduced me from

Ureteral stricture after transplant with no success after attempting stent and ballooning
Hello:) I just had my third kidney transplant in December. I had multiple pre transplant day long meetings to decide the best option for me having a third transplant and it was decided my fiance would donate and we would do paired exchange as a live donor and planned transplant would be for the best

Should I ask for a echocardiogram?
I'm in A &E at the moment having started with short, sharp chest pains early this morning. My first lot of bloods come back ok, troponin just 6, awaiting results of second trop result. I had Nstemi, angiogram and stent fitted December last year. Pain was nothing like I had today. I've been back to A

Struggling to exercise
Hi, I had a heart attack a year ago with a stent, and had an echocardiogram a few weeks ago and just got a letter 2 days ago telling me I had basal inferior hypokinesis (whatever that is!). I had no cardiac classes just phone calls due to covid. I started exercise at home with the best of intentions

What a ride
Hello all, I've been browsing this forum recently and there's so much warmth and advice given that I'd like to share my story and hopefully receive some reassurance/advice in return. I'm a 44 year-old man who's a single father to a beautiful 14 year-old daughter. The last few years have not been kind

Ciprofloxacin Horror!
I don’t know where to start. I had been taking this drug for over a year until two days ago when I stopped it myself. I was prescribed it last April while in hospital with ARLD and alcohol hepatitis. I was very poorly and since recovered from it. My first blood tests after discharge were normal but

Completely beat physically and emotionally
At the age of 45 I experienced intermittent chest pain (even when at rest), sweats, headaches and fatigue. I was sent packing from A&E as tests were normal. I saw a cardiologist privately and they found a critical blockage of my LAD. I was reassured that I was fixed with a stent and all my risks were

Lipoprotein a
Hi. Does anyone have high lipoptotein A. Any success in reducing it? I'm 52 years old and have been told my coronary artery disease is premature so I was referred by cardio team to the lipid specialists. I was/am in good shape, decent weight/BMI and fitness. I'm now 8 weeks post-CABG x 2 and 7 months

Advanced PCa & Kidney Disease
I'm getting a CT scan soon to follow up on my ADT failure. They are concerned that there may be sign of kidney disease. It seems like it's relatively common in PCa warriors, so I'm presuming people have experience. I just checked on the kidney disease symptoms and I seem to have most of them. My onco
