Existing heart failure drug may treat potential COVID-19 long-hauler symptom.
In a new study out of University of California San Diego School of Medicine, researchers found a drug used for heart failure improves symptoms associated with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, otherwise known as POTS. This complex, debilitating disorder affects the body’s autonomic nervous system

Any side effects from flu jab?
I'm new here. Diagnosed with afib 5 months ago. Still freaking out about it. I recently had a flu jab and have had lots of headaches, palpitations and dizziness. Has anyone else had this happen? I'm on a Eliquis and blood pressure meds. I'm sensitive to beta blockers, so cardiologist doesn't want me

Coughing after a run
I completed W9R1 yesterday. I have noticed that after every run, I get an irritated feeling in my windpipe and I keep needing to cough. Not a chesty cough, more like an irritating tickley cough. I manage to run for the full distance, I get a little breathless but nothing major and my breathing gets

Ongoing Cough
This is an update on my husband’s cough. My husband has now been off Imbruvica for a month and still no improvement w/his cough. He will be off for another month yet due to getting his COVID shot. By that time, he will have been off for two months. He will then restart at a lower dose. He has seen

My obsessive researching my actually be paying off
We’ve said we would be accepting of no reintubation for gradual
respiratory
failure
, but that we’d like it to be an option for treatable situations for example if more muscle conditioning is required.

AZ Vaccine
Hi all, Had my AZ jab on the 11/03/21, had to query this with my consultant as I’m on Rituximab infusion. No pain with jab on the day except bump on arm but around 9pm started getting hot and cold went to bed and that’s when it really hit me. Very hot almost feverish along with feeling cold and perhaps

Who else has cold hands?
Mine are always cold. I wear gloves indoors a lot and often put a couple hand warmers inside. You'll also find me with my hands wrapped firmly around a warm cup of tea/coffee when sitting down. I think the only time they get warm is in the summer. 9 months of the year they're cold.

cold showers
Possibly a bit left-field but scientists suggest that cold water immersion MAY improve immune system. I think the proposal is that the shock causes the adrenal gland to go into hyperdrive. I suspect that my adrenal gland has gone to sleep and is not eager to get back to work as I go below 10mg Prednisolone
