not sure if you remember I was in and out of hospital a few times with undiagnosed bilateral pleural effusions. Well the next stage was to get some biopsy’s done to see if they can find out the cause but in clinic on Thursday I was told a meeting will be held on Tuesday to see if I now qualify for that

Hypo type episode while on Forxiga /Dapaglaflozin, waiting for pacemaker upgrade. Any experiences with this drug anyone?
I felt sweaty and shaky after skipping breakfast this morning, and looking at the leaflet for Dapaglaflozin, I see one of the side effects is to cause low blood sugar levels. It's a diabetes drug which has been found to help with Heart Failure patients. It makes you pee away blood sugar. So I ate some

10 Year Anniversary
A few weeks ago I realized this is the ten-year anniversary of when I started dialysis. I started in August of 2013 in the days after I had a knee surgery. I was 14 years old. I'm now 24 years old. In the time since I started dialysis I started and finished high school, started and finished college,

Shock diagnosis and 4 week wait for follow up at rapid-access Heart Failure clinic. Is my anxiety justified?
Two weeks ago I went for a stress echo test. It was a real shock that after a preliminary echo the test was abandoned. Serious faces and mutterings all round ensued, and a cardiologist came in, studied the screen and told me I had heart failure! She advised me not to go on my planned holiday till

Excerise/gym recommendations greater Manchester area??
I have to go to a brachial plexus injury specialist in Manchester royal. ( I was there for a brief while so they could cannulate a tesio line as I had end stage
renal
failure
. When I was stable was transferred back to Tameside. I can't live like this anymore. I need to strengthen my leg and hands.

Bisoprolol/flecanide/amytriptiline
Looking for some advice. I've been on varying doses of Bisoprolol for 2 years now, hate the stuff, feel lethargic and foggy headed and seem unable to lose weight, despite the fact I keep the dose as low as I can. The arrhythmia nurse did try changing it to verapamil and that led to the only AF episode

I am now on Bisoprolol 2.5mg, Edoxaban60mg, Entresto24mg twice daily,and new one Spironolactone25g. My problem is that my already low BP plummets every time a new drug is introduced or an increase
