Fast heart rate after eating sugar
Hi everyone, I have a history of a fast heart rate for unknown reasons, and have had short episodes of svt. Generally it has been under control recently due to taking a beta blocker. I have had it checked by an electrophysiologist and had an echo. This morning however I’m back to noticing my heart

No progress with Dr...and other possible symptoms?
My last posts explained my blood test results which show high antibodies but everything else within range. On this basis my Dr is not willing to do any other testing, even though I do suffer with joint pain, fatigue, hair loss etc and have a family history of hypothyroidism. I have given up gluten

Meds & raised blood sugar
My 86 year old brother, who has heart failure, was found at a routine blood test to have raised blood sugar in the prediabetic range. In response to this, he received a standard letter from the practice with the website of diabetes UK to consult for info. He can't use the internet and I was concerned

Pre diabetes update , raised uric acid,
About 2 weeks ago I had some blood tests at the GP surgery , received a text telling me I was pre diabetic and offering me to join a program to make health choices etc. I was shocked, so was my GP. She went through my history, current rehab, nutrition etc and thought the result was a false positive.

diabetes & B12 Deficiency
Hi all, for the last 4 months I’ve been on the B12 deficiency (possibly PA) path and have assumed that eventually the B12 injections will make me feel better. I’ve had all the classic symptoms. I’ve had the 6 loading doses, 2 further jabs at 6 weeks apart and I’m now on a 4 weekly regime with the UK

Nighttime symptoms
Hi I am hoping for understanding of symptoms which occur about 04.30 most mornings. I awake with a frontal headache and a pounding heart. This has been getting more frequent over almost 3 years. All blood tests have been normal. It’s been put down to health anxiety but I feel it’s a physical condition

Immunoglobulin tests
Hi again. Yesterday I asked my GP if I could have my blood immunoglobulin levels checked as I like to keep a handle on those parameters which can indicate the status of my immune system. To be honest, I thought this would be done without question and routinely. However, my doc prefers that my CLL haematologist

B12 over 4000 with injections, any need to worry?
Hello lovely people, I've been SI 1500ug twice weekly since mid December as a bit of an experiment to see if it would help my symptoms, many which are neuro. Not officially diagnosed as B12 deficient as my blood tests before were all fine but I was heavily supplementing so not really possible to say

Recently Diagnosed
Hi There, I have recently been diagnosed with PV, I am JAk2 V617F positive 61% and my blood cells are all within normal levels, even my hematocrit. 3 years ago I suffered with portal and splenic vein thrombosis and have been on appixaban ever since. A few months before the thrombosis appeared blood

Amiodarone
Hi I was on Amiodarone for at least 2 years with regular blood tests. The main side affect that I had was I couldn’t go in the sun. I could even fill the sun burning me though my trousers. Being a naturist I hated not being able to go to the beach. I hadn’t been feeling unwell for a while and losing

Frustrated with hospital appointment
I had a cardiologist appointment by phone yesterday. It wasn’t done by a doctor, it was one of those physician associates. They hadn’t read my notes until the call happened. They told me the bubble study echo showed I had a thrombus in the heart but the MRI in October had said it was gone and I’m on

Grandfather FIT test result of 200...
Pretty worried right now.My grandad is 86. Has type 2 diabetes and so has regular bloods. In a blood test about 3 months ago, the GP noticed his iron was low. They re tested it again and it was falling dramatically. He feels tired and breathless also. He did a FIT stool test and it came back as 200.

A positive tale...so far
Hi all, I wanted to share a positive story of B12 deficiency diagnosis and treatment. My GP started me on loading doses in mid December after a serum B12 result of 202. Since then I've had every blood test under the sun which have all showed normal. Meanwhile he kept me on twice weekly injections after

GCA confirmed after Ear pain
Just to let you know that the result of my temporal artery biopsy has been confirmed as positive today. I had the biopsy on monday, just 3.5 weeks after initially going to the GP with earache. I am amazed actually as it was a result of knowledge on this forum that prompted me to go back to my GP, after
