Mechanical valves or the biological ones
I am going to have an operation for a aortic and mitral
valve
replacement
I am 73, and my dilemma is do I have the mechanical valves or the biological ones which might last for about 14 years or less What options would there be when the biological valves wear out, can you have another operation

propranolol
hello. I had an awful anxiety attack that started on Sunday. I used to have them in the past as well as depression but taking sertraline 3 times a week helped keep things under control. I’m menopausal and on HRT and I think it’s related. I spoke to a GP who prescribed propranolol for the physical symptoms

Hip replacement
On 22nd January,I had a partial hip replacement following a fall.I have made a good recovery and my hip has healed well. But I am still very tired and I have sharp pains in my left shoulder and right wrist. I imagine it's a flare up... But it's odd that these two joints are causing far more pain than

Red nose after Raynaud’s diagnosis
Morning all 😀 I was diagnosed with Raynaud’s last winter and have since been experiencing horrible nose and cheek issues. m when I get hot or if I eat hot food my nose and cheeks pulsate and go bright red. It then goes almost back to normal as I cool down!! this has left me with a redder than normal

Femseven conti patches
Hi,Has anyone been prescribed femseven conti patches? I've been prescribed these by the nurse at the GP surgery as an alternative to evorel as they were making me bleed and my anxiety was really bad. I've read on the packet they could increase fibroids so not sure I should be taking them. I'm on 3

Higher pulse than average
I’m quite fit but am feeling as though I’ve run a marathon - heart rate up and air hungry . I have UAT and take Armour Thyroid. I’ve reduced the dose from 1 grain am and pm to 1 am and 1/2 pm but it hasn’t made any difference. This has been happening for about two weeks now. I also take HRT, vitamin

Trying to stay positive when I dont "get" it
This pelvic floor tightness came out of nowhere several weeks ago. I never ever knew this existed. Now Im in on baclofen/valium suppositories, HRT therapy 3x a week. I go for hrs where I have no pain and then the spasms and throbbing begins. Is there anyone else going thru a similar situation? Im scared

aortic graft and left atrial appendage clip and no replacement valve
had surgery for ascending aortic replacement. Despite being bicuspid the theory is that as not in stenosis it is likely to last longer than tissue.

Had my first visit to the Hematologist . He was patient, he was kind , he was very informative and most important to me , he asked me what my questions and concerns were. Unlike a lot of doctors I worked with as a nurse , ( who MANY have seemed to have lost their Sensitivity chip ) , he was full

Cirrhosis diagnosis
I have recently been diagnosed with cirrhosis following abnormal blood test and fibroscan. I am a non drinker, with a BMI 22.3. The specialist says I am one of the 5-7% of people with a fatty liver but not over weight and probably hereditary. This has come as a shock. I only had a blood test because

Buying my own T3
Hello all, I've been on Levothyroxine for a long time but since a hysterectomy and menopause I've needed to increase the dose but still feel like I'm struggling. I'm on HRT and working hard to balance ALL hormones, I currently get my Progesterone from abroad because mybuseleas GP doesn't believe I need

Perimenopausal Rosecea
Hi everyone, I was looking for some advice....I have recently been diagnosed as perimenopausal and have been put on HRT patches. They don't agree with me so I am shortly changing to HRT tablets. However, the last 2 months at a particular time in the month, I have had bad flare up of rosecea. The doctors

In a quandary
Hello, Late this afternoon I had an unexpected call from the nurse practitioner at my dr’s surgery regarding my HRT. In the course of our conversation - she was lovely - I took the opportunity to speak about my undiagnosed hypothyroidism (I’ve posted about my results, both from private and NHS tests

Physio post TKR lessons
I have just had my second physio appointment which was delayed (because of a bad UTI) and rescheduled closer to home. It was a revelation because I learnt that I had been concentrating almost entirely on the gold standard of a 90 degree knee bend. Instead I should have been building up my thigh muscle

Dealing with aftermath
So my Dad had a Aordic
Valve
replacement
done in May this year. This was a birth defect and was undetected until now, after collasping and having emergency surgery he is now fixed up and doing well. So my question/questions are. Is this a condition I need to get checked out for myself?

Low cortisol: will it improve when I'm on HRT?
I think I just keep asking the same question but in various different ways. 😂 I work term time only and every half term I'm full of optimism about what me and the kids can do and how much I'll get done in the house and inevitably I spend all week on the sofa. It's the same every time. I recognise
