In 2018 I had 6 loading doses but no follow up treatments. Throughout 2023 I reported tiredness and more concerningly

Cardiac issues
Hi CD, Following on from your comments re MSK specialist and my reply. Since Sept/Oct 2023 my BP has progressively worsened while HR is beautifully spot on. BP is gradually trending up to around the 166/80 whereas in October and earlier it was a comfortable 132/70 with a beautiful steady HR. Whilst

So my sister has just found that she has haemochromatosis...
I've nagged her to follow up on her high ferritin results for the last year or so, though GP seemed disinterested with it above 700 so I sent her to give blood which bought it down to 400. Since then we have successfully got her GP to acknowledge her Hypothyroidism and prescribe T4 and I got her to

Massage
Had a massage yesterday lunchtime to unknot shoulder and back muscles. Afterwards, I felt really spaced out, vacant and woosy. Looking at website it mentions that massage effects blood pressure. Used Kardia to do ECG and got half a dozen unrecognised readings. Slept for 2 hours and eventually came round

Blood Pressure Tablets vs Glaucoma
Hi all, Does anyone have any experience with taking blood pressure tablets after being diagnosed with Glaucoma? I have moderate glaucoma in my right eye, have had a couple of surgeries (Preserflo) and have recently been diagnosed with slightly high blood pressure. I saw the Physician Associate today

New, A Bit Scared, Would Appreciate Advice.
For background I've got Ehlers Danlos, a genetic connective tissue disorder which causes stretchy joints, skin, dislocations and a whole host of other fun things. Also underactive thyroid and B12 deficiency/ pernicious anemia and asthma. In spite of my issues I've always loved exercise, keeping fit

cardiac ablation good experience
hi everyone, I have just had my cardiac catheter ablation for my ventricular ectopic beats ( I have a very high ectopic load) It has gone well and I was really well looked after by the team . In case anyone is waiting for their ablation thought it might be helpful to share my experience. In my case

Getting the right treatment for left arm pain (not for diagnosis)
As stated really. I posted here a few months ago having had an episode of nausea/clammy/indigestion 2 .5 months ago. This coincidentally happened the week of work stress. Following these symptoms I experienced arm pain on and off and I took myself to A&E admittedly 2 weeks after. They did an ECG, trop

Exercise and Blood pressure meds
I am 51 y/o and was diagnosed with v.high BP in Jan 2024 of 210/130. This stayed high (>198/120) even after a few days and immediately the GP put me on 10mg Amlodipine which reduced my average BP over 3 weeks to approx 155/95. I was then also given 2.5mg Ramipril too (after bloods were fine) and this

Singulair side effect or just anxiety?
I know this med is posted a lot, and there are a ton of different side effects people experience but I am wondering if mine are related to Singulair or if it truly is anxiety. Sorry ahead of time for such a long post! I recently experienced heart palpitations while driving, was lightheaded, faint,

Heart worries
Hi All, I have been having an ache in my chest for a number of weeks. The other night I woke up with chest pain. Ended up in A & E and had all the usual tests - ecg., bloods, chest x-ray. Very conscientious doctor couldn't find a problem although he did say troponin was 'slightly elevated'. Repeated

Exercise intolerance
Hi all. Does anyone have any idea how to tackle this please? Just over four months into PCS. At first I had to build exercise back up but managed to get to walking about five miles a few months ago. Not without symptoms and obviously pretty shattered the next day, but I could do it. Over the last
