Scared just diagnosed with COPD
Hi all, I was diagnosed yesterday with COPD and have been prescribed an salmeterol inhaler. I have read all sorts on the internet including that only 1 in 20 people survive ten years after being diagnosed! I am only 49 and lost my mum last year with a combination of COPD and heart failure so I am really

ANA positive?
A little confused about my ANA test. Result says positive. Flag for abnormal. Reference interval - negative? Does tgis mean it's positive? BC my dr didn't explain and she just kind of brushed me off...again. Rashes still pop up randomly every day. And tired. So tired of being tired. : (

I did have AF despite no one believing me
I was admitted to hospital recently with suspected heart failure. Whilst in the hospital the cardiologist responded to my concern about that I could feel my heart skipping a beat and then fluttering, that this was just an ectopic beat. Nothing to worry about. However, my wonderful GP booked me in

Well another reason for the weight loss...
My husband has PKD and is in
renal
failure
. Turns out, you can now donate no matter if your a match, as you are able to basically swap/pool organs with other people in need. I desperately want to help my husband in whatever means possible. Need lots of motivation!!

Pulmonary fibrosis. Don't know what type, diagnosed in 2015 by CT scan. Oxygen at night only. A CT scan in 2016 showed stable.
2 weeks later went to GP with fatigue, SOB No cough at all. GP put me on 3ltrs oxygen 24/7. Oxygen drops on exertion-between 95 and 98 on rest. I don't know what to do. I have no treatment plan. Is this what I can expect for the rest of my life? Oxygen drops to 80 while walking around. My GP said it

Thought the Royal Brompton was a Brilliant Hospital but Now Badly Let Down!
Having been mismanaged for years by my local hospital in Kent which results in undiagnosed severe heart failure and severe cardiomyopathy I was sent to the Royal Brompton Hospital in London last year. In patient treatment good but the last year as an outpatient, hell on earth! I have not had one follow

Pollutant Exposure May Raise the Risk for CV Hospitalization
I saw this in Medscape. It seems that if we don't eat, breathe or drink, we may be able to avoid AF. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/858918?src=wnl_edit_tpal&uac=232755DZ BOSTON, MA ― Exposure to particulate matter with a diameter less than 10 µm (PM10) may increase CV-related hospitalizations

Left sided heart failure and Vasculitis. Anyone else been diagnosed with this ?
I was diagnosed with WG over 17 years ago with Saddle nose deformity and I have chronic kidney failure too. I have been receiving Rituximab every 6 months for the last few years and have been lucky not to have had steroids for approx the last 10 years. I'm 55 years old. Since my last infusion in October
