anxious about CAD - MRI result
Hi all, Does anyone know if a cardiac MRI would pick up coronary heart disease , or at least see some part of the arteries? I’m awaiting a CT scan with dye to look into CAD, but my consultant thinks it’s unlikely as I’m 32 , I am overweight and an ex-smoker so I do have some risk factors. My cardiac

Check your Thyroid
For about a year I’ve been struggling. Fatigue getting worse, frozen shoulder, dry mouth and eyes, aching, brain fog, palpitations. It really got worse after last years autumn Covid booster when I thought I was having a heart attack. Heart all checked out fine. So I talked to my consultant at my clinic

Temporary AF during Covid?
Hi. Following an ablation nearly 2 years ago I have been AF free. I have PIP Flecainide and Bisoprolol that I have never needed to take since the ablation. I take Edoxaban daily. I currently have Covid and yesterday had a jumping feeling so checked my Apple Watch and it said AF. I immediately did several

stomach acid
I don't understand this stomach acid 'thing'. I take a proton pump inhibitor for high stomach acid but people insist that as you get older you're stomach acid reduce. I'm 79. Also that doctors erroneously mistake low stomach acid for high!! What is going on? Any thoughts

Sciatica
Hi all. I have been suffering with back pain for several years. In regards to medication, you name it, I've tried it. I've have two lots of steroid injections which had no effect whatsoever and then finally in 2022 I had radio frequency ablation which was brilliant. I had instant relief from this. I

Tinnitus fades after noise exposure
Hello all, hope you’re doing ok! I’ve had low frequency tinnitus for 18 months or so, some days better than others. One thing I’ve noticed is that my tinnitus almost entirely disappears after I’ve been in loud environments. I was at a gig on Monday and I forgot my loop earplugs and for 3 days and nights

Covid is lasting a long time this time round
Today I’m day 16 of testing strong positive. I caught covid visiting my hubby in hospital. I wore a mask when I visited and sanitised my hands but still caught it. My GP thinks I’ve had 2 strains as I’ve had 2 lots of symptoms. I visited the hospital on the Saturday afternoon, hubby was told that evening

Leflunomide and tapering. Update on flare this Summer
I posted in late July about getting into a yo-yo situation trying to control a flare of PMR and got excellent advice from DL which sorted it out. I've been on 3.5mg ever since (I was at 2mg when the flare started). I've tried using DSNS taper. But the PMR isn't ready to cooperate yet!On Monday I had

AF back 6 days after Covid vacc
I'd been in NSR for over 3 1/2 years following a cardioversion after 9 months of persistent AF, but I woke for the loo at 3.30am on Monday and found I was back in AF - which is so far persisting. Sigh! My first thought about the trigger was that I was dehydrated. We were staying with friends, and

upping steroids short term to boost recovery?
writing on behalf of my mum who is getting over a respiratory tract infection (or not getting over it to be precise). She has long PMR (getting on 40 yr) and is constantly trying to reduce pred. I recall reading in this forum a recommendation to temporarily increase dose when ill / having surgery etc

It Had To Happen!! Covid-19 Strikes!
It has been 18 months since I completed my CLL Obinutuzumab plus Venclexta treatment protocol. I was in remission. I have had four Covid-19 vaccinations and two Evusheld vaccinations over that time. So, last week is the first time I ventured into the public transportation system in 2-1/2 years. I

Oxygen levels after pneumonia
I was discharged from hospital one week ago having suffered a bout of pneumonia and a RSV I was treated in isolation. I know it will take weeks to recover, but I’m concerned about my oxygen level which hovers around 87-89. Any advice?

Lisinopril, A-Fib enlarged left atrium,
I was taking Diltiazem 60 mg 12HR ER Cap 2 times a day for A-fib and hypertension. I stopped it as doctor recommended when I had to take Paxlovid for Covid. I didn't get A-fib when I didn't go back to taking the Diltiazem and have been off of it for more than 2 months. I'm thinking of taking Lisinopril
