Hyperplasia
I have been diagnosed with mild diffuse atrophic gastritis and and prominent foveolar hyperplasia. Returned to GP and no further follow up. GP prescribed Gaviscon , symptoms settled but 11 months later are back. Does anyone know if it is necessary to have follow up gastroscopies. I have had PA

Acetylcysteine
I have recently been prescribed oral acetylcysteine as a mucolytic. Does anyone have any experience with this? I am unsure how having a greater volume of mucus to cough up will help me, and the drug information leaflet says it should not be used with bronchial asthma as it can cause bronchospasms

Best UK substitue for US Synthroid
Hi, I lived in the US for over 20 years and was prescribed Synthroid for underactive Thyroid. I found that the generic levothyroxine brand was not effective. I have moved back to the UK and would like to find a brand that is as close to Synthroid as possible. Would appreciate any recomendations.

Ectopics scaring me, lasting longer than usual.
This past week, for 3 days, I had almost continuous ectopics and for the first time, they even lasted all night which really scared me. I went to the A&E, the ECG was "normal" but during the 4 hours I was there, the telemetry did pick up ectopics. The doctor said there was nothing to raise a red flag

longer episodes of afib
hi,I guess I'd like to have opinions on longer episodes of afib, like 10 + days or longer. apart from the obvious actions such as keeping one's blood thin and resistant to clotting by either utilizing drugs or alternative blood thinning agents, is there anything else that one should consider, such as

Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation and Pancreatic

PSA Test
Hello everybody Where can I find good information about the readings on PSA tests. As I have posted earlier, my husband had the prostate removed, developed a rezidiv after 5 years, was treated with Proton (based on Hydrogen) radiation in Heidelberg January this year. PSA went down from 0,8 to 0,3.

Cold weather flare ups
Good morning, Does anyone have any tips or tricks, I've been on my medication since April (methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine) I have rheumatoid and lupus overlap. I'm having a flare up and think it's weather related but I cant seem to find a happy medium. When my hands are warm my joints are less

cortisol blood test
I’m due a GP blood test at 8:35am today. Can I have a decaf coffee before??? It’s a waste of time test I think as my saliva test showed the only normal one was the morning but that private test wasn’t good enough! Also my DHEA of less than 10 was completely sidetracked by GP. Very little hope this

Extremely high BP 6 weeks after ablation
I had ablation 2 months ago for increasing incidence of paroxysmal SVT. I have a very low resting heart rate and low BP history, very stable after Aortic valve replacement 6 years ago. Suddenly 6 weeks post ablation my BP's have been scary high and I've had associated dull headache, neck discomfort

Finger misbehaving (!) ...Ulnar Deviation
Hello, I recently noticed my middle finger has gone bent towards the pinky finger. I couldn't believe my eyes and did internet search. It happens to people with RA and Lupus. A bit shocking. I have been doing mild squeezing exercise daily to help increase my hand strength. I think it may be due to

PSA 9 , age 66 , is there an alternative to biopsy ?
My friend’s PSA went from 5 to 9 in 8 months . He asked me if there is an alternative to biopsy . I told him that there may be something new since I last had a biopsy in 2009.

Pain below right ribcage
I have had multiple CT scans and MRIs and none of them show cirrhosis, but they show fatty liver. I've had a burning pain below my right rib cage for over a month...it hurts bad! My last liver enzyme tests were within range. I have been on a diet since this started and I've lost 18lbs, but still have

Looking for help with coming off aspirin & on to Xarelto
I've been diagnosed with possible atrial fibrillation. I've been taking a low dose (75mg) aspirin every night for about two weeks, seems to have helped me sleep as my heart doesn't thump. But my GP has prescribed Xarelto which I will start taking. However I read that aspirin can stay in your blood
