Medicheck results - am I a poor converter?
Hello there, I had a Medicheck thyroid test as my GP says I'm well within range on my TSH 1.29 (0.3 - 4.2), the only test he ordered to check if 100mg of Levo was right for me. I had asked for FT4 and FT3 but they weren't done, surprise. My Medicheck results are TSH 0.805 (0.27 - 4.2) FT4 19

IM IN A STATE OF CONFUSION! I desperately need help to understand and actions to take following recent blood results.
My GP reduced my levo thyroxine from 100mcg to 75mcg, at beginning of March, as my TSH was 0.13 (0.27-4.2)..... T4 was21.1 (12-22) T3 was 4.9 (3.1-6.8) Of course he thinks that TSH is the most important reading , 😡 and I hadn’t the energy to dispute it . Was supposed to be retested in 6 weeks but

Inj. Hertraz insurance cover
Hi Everyone, This is regarding insurance cover for Trastuzumab(Hertraz Inj.). The cashless claim for this was rejected recently for 2nd cycle claiming it was not payable by UHC TPA, while the same was approved for the 1st cycle. I don't know why they rejected it for 2nd cycle. I have applied for reimbursement

Blood sugar all over the place
It's been 20days after my 5x bypass. My blood sugar level was not well controlled at all. I'm on metformin 500g x twice daily. BMI 21, I am a type 2 Does cabg affect blood sugar? I'm on iron pills and its making me constipated too. Does anyone have the same experience? I'm also watchful of my food.

Aftercare from hospital after CABG (or lack of!)
My fiancé had x3 bypass in late January 2020. He had AFib and a heart flutter after surgery and had to spend additional time in icu. He has missed out on all aspects of aftercare - no cardiac rehab and 1 telephone consultation with his original cardiac consultant (not the team that completed his surgery

Ear blocked after my CABG bypass
Does anyone get any ear muffled after surgery? My right ear is like a little blocked, a little muffled after 10days into my surgery. Just curious if this is common. And having sleepless nights. I managed to wink only 30-60min and will be awake. Surely frustrating Cheers

Sons thyroid results
Hi, My son (18) has just had a full thyroid check with Medicheck. We did this because he is often very tired and I have Hashimotos (and my mother had Lupus, so AI in the family). I thought he may have it too. His results are: CRP HS 0.14 (0-5) Ferritin 192 (30-400) Folate serum 6.03 (3.89-19.45)

Newbie/ Medichecks results
Hi, As a newbie to all of this I’d really appreciate some help and advice. A few weeks ago I went to see my GP because I was feeling exhausted. I’ve been many times over the years, and looking back, my visits have been around tiredness (mostly), feeling like there’s a lump in my throat when swallowing

The thing I am struggling with is practical

Getting back up again, sometimes it’s an effort
So last week I had 4 more Stents fitted, giving me a total of 15. 6 years ago I had a quad CABG, been living with heart issues for 20yrs. I’d finally got myself fit again, sub 30 min Parkrun, 50k trail run completed last year and managing to go running for long distances. Didn’t expect to have another

Slow heart rate
Has anyone suddenly had a slow heart rate? I had cabg x 4 in April 2019- been well since but my resting heart rate now 54ish. NHS website says +60 should be norm. Docs have reduced bisoprolol but not making any difference. Feel tired with it.

Painkillers post CABG
Hi. At 16 weeks post CABG am still finding I need to take 6-8 paracetamol a day for chest pain and upper body aches and pains. Is this the norm to other people's experiences? Thanks
