don't want to go back to the lipid clinic but where else can I get an FH test?
After today's experience, I really don't want to go back to the lipid clinic again. I only went because I wanted the FH test but as usual I felt completely steamrollered by the consultant, that he wasn't listening to anything I said, and I will have to wait 4 months for the results anyway. But I am very

Apolipoprotein a - yet another thing to worry about.
Ok so I just went to see my 3rd lipid consultant. He was slightly better than the other two in that he thinks, on the balance of probabilities, I've probably got polygenic hypercholesterolemia, not FH. He also accepted there were other risk factors. However since I have a family history of stroke - though

Found on nhs records
[1] The lab test indicated abnormal lover function. [2] The baby was delivered , the cord clamped and cut, and handed to the paediatrician, who breathed and cried immediately. [3] Exam of the genitalia reveals that he is circus sized. [4] She stated that she had been constipated for most of her

One month post-ablation
Ablation seems to be holding, but complications persist. Developed slow stomach motility so hurts to eat or drink, food just sits in my stomach, losing weight. GI consult pending. I know general anesthesia can cause this, but have also read about damage to vagus nerve. Any chance this is what happened

Post test results for Ezetrol 10 mg
I promised my partner, my heart specialist to test this product in order to lower my supposedly high cholesterol (total chol. 7,74; HDL :1,66; LDLc: 5,4; Tri.:1,49 mmol) . As I couldn't put up with terrible cramp with Atorvastine I was to try the Ezetrol, so I did a 2 month trial. This is what happened

Greetings one and all. I've had a breathing issue for many many years. During the first 6 months, I couldn't make a set of stairs, or put weight on for love or money. Well, anyway, for some crazy reason, it took many many months to see the experts, by which time the problem slowed, and I was able

Severe foot pain for over 2 years- in my 30's and can't run errands
SURGERY FOR HALLUX VALGUS and BUNIONECTOMY scheduled. Will this help pain in first webspace and pain under second toe (that has started to lift). The second toe is shorter than my first. I never get a second matching opinion. MRI, X-ray, and ultrasound show hypoechoic area in second and third webspace
