Zip line advice/opinion
Hi I could use an opinion, OK 65, 18 stone and AFIB, taking Pradaxa and a recent failure on Cardioversion. the temptation to try Flight of the Gibbon zip line in Chiang Mai Thailand is very high for me it looks amazing! We all know that a man's brain is known to move at times and common sense flees

Exercise is paying off, I woke up today not feeling sick much at all. I been doing push ups periodically during the day, 10 here 20 there...I think i finally figured out my problem...i believe i very small/mild case of heart failure (I may be able to fight past it and overcome it completely I think).

Anxiety
hi there would you say its normal to feel physically and emotionally drained from anxiety. I've started keeping myself awake at night thinking that if I fall asleep I will die. Then i go online type in my physical symptoms and find out heart failure and get myself very anxious. I don't know what to do

Transplant advice
I was just wondering if any of you have experience a kidney transplant. A friend of mine has been told they need a premtive one. I am just curious how long it will take him to bounce back from the operation and if there is anything I should look out for. It's just a bit scary!!!!

I am living with stage 5
renal
failure
. Although my treatment is going well ( peritoneal dialysis ) I find myself struggling with food. Especially with everything I have to keep an eye on. I'm thinking a meal planner designed with kidney disease sufferer's in mind may help.

Burpanorphine
My husband has PVD and now has such blocked arteries that he has no pulses in his legs. His heart failure is too severe for him to be considered for surgery but the pain in his legs is horrendous. I can hear him moaning and calling out in pain even as I write this. He has been given a prescription for

The relationship between sweetened beverage consumption and risk of heart failure in men
Story going the rounds of the papers today and, I suspect, over the next days and beyond. Note that there is no reason to assume women are not at least equally affected - simply the research was performed on men. What needs to be appreciated is that this appears to apply regardless of whether the drinks

Non-infective exacerbation
On admission had acute on chronic hypoxic respiratory
failure
, hypocalcemia, elevated CPR, leukocytosis and mild
renal
impairment with elevated urea. My BP normally well behaved becomes extremely erratic when I am unwell and was swinging from one extreme to the other.

Convinced I have a heart problem
Hi, 6 months ago my Aunt passed away from heart failure and since then I'm convinced something is wrong with my heart. I have had numerous ECGs, a stress test and 2 chest X-Ray's where nothing was found and plenty of docs have listened with stethoscope. So why am I getting the chest pains, the arm pains

Pulmonary hypertension
When the EP was doing my 4th ablation he discovered evidence of pulmonary hypertension in the left ventricle. I have just seen the 'lung' consultant and have to have tests to find out why as I have never smoked. He said that if untreated it can cause AF and thickening of the heart walls, so maybe it

Adcal-D3 caplets
Hi everyone again. Grateful thanks for yesterday's input. Today my query is about taking Adcal-D3 which my surgery has changed from Calcichew. The Calcichew was not a problem to take as they could be sucked or chewed, I kept mine by the bed and had the morning one before I got up and the evening one

Interstitial lung disease with no full diagnosis
Hi all, I'm Jez. I'm 29 and I have interstitial lung disease. In may 2014 I had to go to A+E due to "being very poorly". As it turned out I was going through chronic respiratory failure. My sats when I went in were somewhere between 40 and 50 and we were struggling to get them back up to a safe place
