Hot flushes and night sweats

All was fine for 4/5years then I suddenly start having flushes during the day and night sweats which have

Minor surgery after a stent
Has anyone had experience of surgery post stent? What did you do about the daily asprin? I am due to have minor surgery on my eyelid and the Ocuplastic surgeon has written to my cardiologist . The cardiologist writes that although it was 19 months ago and I am doing well he doesn't recommend suspending

hormones
Any post-menopausal women out there? My symptoms of ADD -for me it’s really MDD motivation deficit disorder, have gotten much worse over the past couple of years. I am looking to go on Hormone Replacement Therapy- was wondering if anyone has experienced this and did it help?

Shortness of breadth
I had open heart surgery 8 years ago, I used to have AFIB but a valve replacement resolved it so far. I also have sleep apnea and use a cpap. Recently I have been getting up in the middle of the night once or twice to urinate and I am experiencing shortness of breadth. After I urinate it goes away.

RLS and HRT
I’ve always suffered mild rls in the evenings but some leg lifts and going to sleep stopped it , last few months it’s severe , I was up every half hour all last night walking the floors with restless legs , arms and stomach , my mind going haywire 🥴I think it could be linked to HRT and menopause but

Info on NHS weigh management tier 3
Hi all, I’ve struggled with my weight since my 30s but now it’s out of control. I’ve done WW and SW but with no success, and cannot exercise. Six years I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and have bone on bone arthritis in my right knee, however I was mobile. Now I’m six stone heavier, in constant pain

I'm so frustrated with my GP!
As per the title really! I'm incredibly frustrated, and frankly angry, with the standard of care - or rather the lack thereof - that I've received from my local surgery. I initially went to the doctor 18 months or so ago complaining of feeling constantly exhausted, gaining weight, and struggling to

wondering how long off work for a total hip replacement?
I can work from home for a while but means sitting at a desk (which I suppose may be ok with the right support). Am I being naive to think I can be back at work on 3 weeks? I work 3 days a week. What is your experience?

Bleeding on HRT
Have been on continuous combined HRT for about 3 years with no problems. (Had a fibroid removed in 2021).3 months ago the GP recommended I increase oestrogel pumps from x2 to x3 daily as I was complaining of fatigue. 5 days ago I started bleeding with period pain/cramps. GP advised I stop HRT and review

Total Hip Replacement tomorrow - yay!
So having been in a lot of pain with my right hip since last September and staving it off with injections, finally I am going into hospital tomorrow for a total hip replacement. Feeling grateful but trepidacious. Have read Dorset Lady’s tips - thank you for those - and have taken them onboard. Doing

Sciatic type pain following knee replacement
Hello all, I had a total knee replacement 3 weeks ago and since then I have had a constant pain emanating from my lower spine and across my buttock. It’s worse when lying down. Has anyone else had this after TKR? I’m hoping it’s just upset muscles rather than true sciatica.

Anyone find PVCs are accompanied by a feeling of mucus in your throat?
I had constant PVCs 24/7 for 6-8 months two years ago. At the time I mentioned to my GP and cardiologist that I felt like I had mucus in the left side of my throat, like post-nasal drip, but they both ignored that and didn't give me any kind of explanation. After starting on HRT (I am in perimenopause
