Is my heart going to stop beating, will I drop dead?
I started taking Bisoprolol 5yrs ago because I had fluid on my lungs after a chest infection, was told I had heart failure but not to worry that was just a general description of an ageing heart After a recent routine ECG an unusual heartbeat was noted and I was put on warfarin to prevent clots and strokes

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Diagnosis...
I have been treated for COPD for about 8 years. Over the past few years my diagnoses are changing and went from chronic bronchitis to COPD, to chronic respiratory failure and lastly PAH and CHF. I haven't been able to find much information on PAH and have no idea how it is treated or how it progresses

Withdrawing from Klonopin
I remember my doctor looking me on the eyes and telling me that it is okay to take klonopin 3 times a day. He wanted me to take .5mg of klonooin three times a day for a year, to let my anxiety "calm down" smh. Thank God I didn't listen. At one point I did do the 3 times a day but it was only for a short

Peritoneal dialysis
I am new to this site, hello! I am 65 years young, have been on peritoneal dialysis for a year and a half. I chose peritoneal over hemodialysis as I feel more normal and not wiped out after treatment. Getting a good night's sleep has been a challenge, seem to wake up every 2-3 hours. Just had to

The Gracefully Aging Don't Live Here
At present, although my rent has always been paid on time, I'm being sued and evicted by my landlord; my daughter is now 6 months post acute
renal
failure
in one kidney and 38% in the other. She is 19, suffering from suicidal ideology, depression and post-traumatic stress.

Ablations and cardioversions and internal defibrillator
I had my third ablation the end of May. It seems to be a failure as I went into afib about 2 days after the ablation. I had a cardioversion the end of July, put me in sinus rhythm for only 2 days. I had another cardioversion one week ago and was in NSR until last night. I am taking Coreg and propafanone

Update - in case anyone else is in a similar position!
I posted recently that the derm thought I had lichen aureus - well the biopsy results came back and it's granuloma annulare apparently. I've been put on tacrolimus. Wondering if anyone else with hypo has had or tried this? I'll update in a month or so even if no one has, just in case it helps anyone
