Blood Test Results - TPA seem strange
Hi, I have just received my Medichecks results. The result for TPA is 9 The range is <34 I know this fluctuates but was surprised to see it under range. My doctor checked it in 2007 and it was 56. It has not been checked since. So, do I still have Hashimotos? Does it fluctuate so much? I have

rhubidium scan result and angiogram/stents next week
I have more than 10% ischaemia in the lateral wall (circumflex territory) and epicardial calcification on CT for cancer surveillance. How mild or serious is this? I am having an angiogram next week with stent if possible but there is a chance I will need a CABG instead. Any similar experiences?

I’ve been taking too much T3
please can someone help. I’m taking 50 mcg levo and 10 mcg lio (2x 5 mcg) daily. However I’ve just checked my meds and realised for the last month I’ve been taking 2 x 10 mcg per day T3. When I collected my prescription from the hospital I had a mix of 10 mcg and 5 mcg - I must have mixed them up.

Angina after CABG x3 and Clots
I had cabg x3, aged 56 on 16th September this year followed by internal bleeding, AF and collapsed lung. (I never do anything easy!) Was meant to be a quad but I had no 4th vein to use. Was sent home after 10 days in hospital. 2 days later was rushed in A&E by ambulance with a Saddle Pulmonary Embolism

Leg Question after CABG
Hello Just a question on how people's leg wound has behaved after Vein removal for use in the bypass op. After 7 years mine has started to play up with a little pain around my ankle well more than a little pain really! My Dr has asked for a doppler test to see what's going on as I have also just developed

Blood test results
Hi I have had a Medichecks blood test before having my Endo appointment next week. I’m on 50 mcg levothyroxine and 10 mcg Liothyronine (taken as 5 mcg twice daily). My TSH levels are low and TPA very high. Is this normal on combination therapy? While I feel better on this regime I cannot lose the

Stressed out by good news?!
Hey guys, Have any of you had one of these stress perfusion MRI scans? They show the blood flow to your heart muscle. I had mine last month and I have just got the results. Over all they are good...I had a 2x CABG aged 34 in January and the report from the scan shows I have 1/16th of my heart not getting

Newly diagnosed - Hashimoto's question
Hello all. Having lurked here for the best part of a month and learned tons of informative stuff, I’m posting to ask for some specific advice. I was diagnosed as hypothyroid five weeks ago, after a couple of months of feeling terrible – exhausted, nauseous, aching, generally ill. After lots of investigations

Does anybody here take Isosorbide Mononitrate 60 mg twice a day ?
Had a 3 X CABG 7 years ago, I’m now a 64 years old, male. Everything since then has been fine, until recently, as I've now started to get angina attacks in the early mornings whilst asleep, and if I exert myself (like walking to the shops). I had to go to A&E when using my GTN spray did not work on

Can you feel your heart post CABG
Hi all I’ve been for a stress test today on the treadmill and the same happened as it did the other day when I tried to go for my first hill walk on the local hills by us. I started off fine but as the gradient increased my heart rate obviously increased but the rate wasn’t massive around 110 the problem

Symptoms a year after CABG, 20 months after Heart Attack.
I would be interested in the experiences of others relating to the aftermath of CABG surgery. Potted history: From around summer 2017 when aged 60, I started to feel a mild tingling and "tight" sensation sometimes under my left ribs, sometimes in my back around the same height. It continued on and

Request for my views on rux
Hi there I received a request re ruxilitinib. I have to admit that I consider it to have been my “life saver” I was on hydroxyurea from 2007 to 2016 and had dreadful symptoms, constant itching, swollen spleen night sweats, and the most dreadful mouth ulcers and swollen tongue. That was so bad that
