Coronavirus and IPF
I am in the latter stages of IPF and have carers visit me several times each day. Clearly, I am at risk of contracting Coronavirus. I wouldn’t survive it because of my reduced lung capacity. Typically, would my lungs just fill with fluid – pneumonia – and would the process take several hours or several

Colds and dread
Hello. So I have colds for 5 days now - a type that isnt runny, just there in my head. Something happened this afternoon while I was waiting in line at the store. I just felt cold all of the sudden. Started from my head to toe. I got scared because I felt like my head is in tight knots or something.

Cold or something else.
Hi everyone I need to ask an opinion. I know none of us are medically qualified but...I have a cold, I have headache and a sometimes runny nose. I don't have a sore throat or a dry cough but I do have some upper chest irritation. I hope this is just a cold. My friend and colleague who ran a training

Canceled ablation due to “feeling” congested
I sneezed a few times over the weekend and “thought” I felt my head becoming congested, and of course had lots of anxiety about being at more risk if I succumbed to a cold/flu following the procedure, let alone the covid19. So I called the cardiologist and we decided best to side with caution and wait

I've recently had severe chest problems, resulting in six weeks off work, 5 courses of antibiotics ( one doctor saying I had chest infection and pleurisy), x-rays CT scans ....my GP throughout kept on saying he thought it was all being caused

Covid-19
Hello Guys, So over the past weeks I have been suffering with anxiety attacks, then trapped wind and now the dreaded symptoms, the cough developed Monday along with a sore throat but it mimicked my Asthma, when it flares it gives me flu symptoms and as I had no temperature or shortness of breath I thought

An explanation of how we got here, why Covid19 is NOT the same as seasonal flu and why the measures matter
We have had several replies on the forum from people who think this is much ado about nothing. We know there are people who don't see the importance of hand washing, of social distancing and avoiding crowded places. And even more so for the members of this and other HU communities who are distressed

PD and cold/flu remedies
I just read that these are incompatible with certain types of PD medication such as Azilect. I wasn’t aware of this. Does anybody know which meds other than the one mentioned and WHY? Thanks

Confused
I've been self-isolating since being sent home from work Friday morning with a cough and flu-like symptoms, I don't know if hopefully I'm feeling well by Friday if I should just go back to work or check with a go or rheumatologist, any advise would be greatly appreciated

Still waiting
I had a blood test last year in August and when the results came back from the lab they showed that my bnp level is extremely high. I asked the GP exactly how high to be told that the level is 1221 and she'd expect to see that level in an 87 year old woman, I'm 47 years old. She then went on to refer

Invalid Spirometry?
I contracted flu in late January and was really poorly.A couple of doctor’s appointments showed low blood oxygen levels and a spirometery test was booked as a result of being an ex smoker, The results showed moderate damage,however the nurse performing the test ordered a chest X-ray as I was still breathless

Pneumonia vaccine
Hi everyone Does anyone know if it would still be helpful to have the pneumonia vaccine ? I was offered it before Christmas but I only had the flu one ? It seems like on the Rheumatology website they were saying it could prevent secondary infections

Does Afib go on to become heart failure
I'm 64 and following a massive pulmonary embolism last year they discovered I have afib. On Xarelto, Bisoprolol and Amlodipine for life for both conditions now and I have had one cardioversion, which lasted three days. They don't know if PE caused the afib, or the afib caused the PE - I suspect the latter

Ibrutinib covid immune system
May be anybody already did research. I My pneumonia vaccination is out of time. I asked my Dr if I can do vaccination under acalabrutinib. The response I can do vaccination but it is very unlikely that antibodies will be developed. The actual question is it better to stop ibrutinib with flu/covid symptoms
