Losing a parent is....
The Doctor told us he had stage 4
renal
failure
and his heart coudnt beat enough to push blood. We agreed and it was the day he died and I came to life and realized that I had a Father and a Mother when I was born. I am certain they must have been happy the day I was born.

Bisoprolol and anxiety.
Hi All My first post but have been reading with interest for a while. My husband had AF about two years ago ( possibly a degree of heart failure as well as oedematous and breathless). Corrected with cardio version. Unfortunately has gone back into AF and prescribed Bisoprolol 5mg to slow heart rate.

depressed and can't take medications
Due to
renal
failure
and heart failure, my doctors don't want to prescribe any meds. What are your recommendations of dealing with depression in a case like this?? I also am isolating myself, unlike before. I do see a social worker, but don't find it very helpful at this point.

Usefulness of Serum Triiodothyronine (T3) to Predict Outcomes in Patients Hospitalized With Acute Heart Failure
If you want your FT3 tested, see a cardiac doctor... It surely would be ironic if FT3 tests get classified as heart tests rather than endocrine due to the speiclaties using it extensively. The next question, does giving such patients T3 help? [i]Am J Cardiol. 2016 Nov 16. pii: S0002-9149(16)31819-7
