Good evening. New here. Husband in hospital with liver cirrhosis. Having scope on Monday and we were told today that he has portal vein thrombosis. I understand what that is but I’m confused after doing some research as to the difference between portal vein thrombosis and portal vein hypertension? Or

Cramps
I have been having a few problems with my hands lately, stiffness etc which my GP originally put down to old age and arthritis, but just lately I have been getting cramp in my left hand which can be painful, do you think this could be due to arthritis or possibly something else?

Confused, Don’t know what’s going on!
In my previous posts I mentioned that we booked a private appointment with cardiologist. After mum had a heart monitor for a week, the consultant confirmed that mum’s average heart rate was around 86, and the peak was around 160. The consultant has doubled the dose of bisoprolol so now mum is to take

Shortness of breath and chest pains
Two years after afib started I slipped into persistent afib and had an ablation. 60% of the way through the ablation I developed pericardial effusion and the ablation stopped and a drainage tube was placed in my heart.

Spontaneous Subdural Hematoma
I am 58 years old. A few months I started to develop headaches and neck pain that gradually increased in severity. I eventually went to the ER and was diagnosed with a minor subdural hematoma (SDH) based upon a CT Scan and was sent home for follow-up with a neurosurgeon. I have had no recent head

Lexiscan Chemical Stress Test
My EP wants me to have a chemical stress test before he puts me on Flecainide. I have so many problems with Afib and PACs that I’m terrified to have them inject me with something that’s going to make my heart take off. I contacted the doctors office to ask them if I can have the treadmill stress test

Any suggestions?
Any help for permanent afib after having three cardioversions which worked for the past two years last one only lasted two weeks. Taken off Multaq and on Lopressor 100 am & pm plus eliquis. Told ablation would more than likely not be successful. Should I get a second opinion. Do not feel that great

Can azathioprine cause chest pains?
Hi, I have been on azathioprine tablets mostly 75mg to 100mg for my Lupus for approximately 20 years. Have been experiencing chest pains on my left side especially after excretion. I had various tests and scans but they are all negative. I had Covid last September and had to stop taking the azathioprine

Switching from Bisoprolol to Carvedilol - side affects, time to adjust?
Afternoon all, Background is I had 2 ablations in 2019 but Afib started coming back in 2021 so I was put onto flecainide and bisoprolol. The flec ended up causing more issues but since stopping flecainide and staying on bisoprolol I've been doing pretty well. I was on a very low does of 1.25mg daily

Masofaniten +Enzalutamide This could be a game changer...Science is coming to our aid
This is a company that I was turned on to by Nalkrantz before he was removed from this board. He told me that he was in touch with a doctor that was involved with this drug. Reportedly the early testing on a single patient had been phenomenal. These are pretty amazing #s NEWS PROVIDED BY ESSA
