Heart failure and fatigue
I was diagnosed with moderate/severe LV failure earlier this year. I'm now taking 7.5mg bisoprolol, with entrestol 24/26, dapaglyflozine and eplerenone, and been on these doses for about 6 weeks. Although my BP and heartrate has been brought down very well by the heart meds, it's a struggle to keep

lung nodule / proposed surgery / scared and confused
Hello, thank you for this site. My best to all on this site for health and happiness. I’m not even sure where I may be at on this journey but am certainly scared and confused . In March of 2022 I had a kidney stone and a lung nodule was detected on right lower lobe and suggested follow up in 3 -6 months

Biologic with covid
Testing positive for covid and am am taking a biologic.Like my head the info is a bit wooly, but I think it maybe that I should suspend the biologic until covid test is negative. Presume this is correct as i think it should make sense. Is anyone in similar circumstances able to confirm or otherwise?

Unexplained increase in mortality rates
I'd like to begin by saying I'm not a conspiracy theorist by any stretch of the imagination but having heard so many stories (mostly first hand and through personal experience) since the outbreak of Covid in Jan 2020 I am beginning to question what's going on. A recent publication in LANCET, no less

nasal cannula
Hi there, I have recently been commenced on oxygen. i have started with a runny nose and cold. Should I change my cannula after my cold has cleared or does this just apply to chest infections?

GP/Specialist appointments
I am 70 years old and have had asthma for most of my life. I moved from Lancaster in 2010, where I had a fantastic Dr and fully qualified asthma nurse. I now live in the far west of Cornwall and for several reasons need to see a GP. And that is where the problem lies. In February I had a bad fall and

Glandular Fever virus and PMR?
Hello everyone, Does anyone know if the Glandular Fever virus could be linked with PMR? I contracted GF and Hepatitis B of the Liver in 2005, it took me 3 years to get over it and live my life normally, I took no drugs, it really was a case of rest and gentle exercise, the Drs warned me if I didn't
