Selected items from the NHS England long term plan Part 5
The long term plan seeks to address Cardio Vascualr Disease. It doesnt mention thyroid disease as a risk factor for CVD. However, the plan does note Atrial Fibrillation as a risk factor for CVD. Most Endos are concerned that either low TSH or high T4/T3 cause AF. The evidence suggests to me that properly

Little update from Rienij.
Good morning friends, just an update from me. I am being very well looked after. Having carers 4x a day. Physiotherapy every day. Doctor payed a visit on her insistence. Because I kept struggling for breath. Got fluid on the lungs, due to the hospital messing about with my meds. And heart failure

Very very anxious
I have been reading some conflicting things the last few days about the nature of CKD and the inevitability of end-stage
renal
failure
within 10 years if someone is in CKD stage 3.

Chest Pain
Hello everyone. My husband found out he was in afib a little over a year ago. He has had 2 cardioversions, one ablation. Neither would switch him out of afib. So the reality the dr says is that he will be in permanent afib. He is on a blood thinner and other meds to keep his heart rate at around 60

Steroid pump for secondary adrenal insufficiency with traumatic brain injury
Hi. I’m new on this site but I wanted to share my AI stories, answer some questions and hopefully find some more resources to help us with this challenging condition. I’m reading that a lot of people on this site seem to be taking their steroids orally. I too was started on oral medication, dexamethasone

became much worse.. I wound up hospitalized for about a month in 2 different hospitals, the last hospital specialized in kidneys.. I wound up in congestive heart failure, pleural effusion and pulmonary edema from kidney failure. I almost died.

heart failure after av node ablation
In November last year I had a pacemaker fitted and after 5 weeks had a AV node ablation. I am in persistent AF but intolerant of drugs. Last week I was diagnosed with left sided heart failure. I wrote to my EP at Stoke as I was concerned he is going to see me in clinic at the end of February to discuss

My Dad has COPD and heart failure
My dad has had two hospital admissions this year and both times he has come out sooo much better but it never seems to last. In November he went in and they removed nearly two stone of fluid that had built up because of his heart failure and when he came home his breathing was great, O2 levels 92% and
