I have had IC for 20 years. Now it seems when I take an anabiotic I get a UTI. So I have to really be careful because it puts me into a flare also.!

"Most older adults" Big med BS-- northern climate or southern, outdoorish or couch potato, dark skin or light skin? One size does not fit all. Bad medicine, panicky approach. Best advice: Stop doctors for a while and return with caution.

These doctors (like Leslie) spreading false information on Vitamin D need to be dealt with, so they stop spreading false and harmful information. Leslie means well, but is misinformed. The truth is spreading, but much of the medical establishment, shockingly, has their facts wrong. Leslie, please consider doing more research, using better and more up to date and credible sources. Your conclusions are out of date and incorrect.

Thank you for this most enlightening podcast. My mom in law is 93 and has recurrent ‘ bladder infections’. We live in a small town with few doctors and few Specialists. Her GP (General Practioner) gives her antibiotics. I’ve been arguing against this as she sometimes has an antibiotic every 2 weeks! This has been happening for many months. We have at last persuaded her to see a new female GP for a second opinion in January when her yearly Medical Aid cash kicks in. We live in a small coastal town in South Africa. I feel she needs a proper diagnosis as you describe. She actually needs one of you!😊 Thank you once again. Blessings to all involved in your podcasts 💖

Disgusting in the manner I was dismissed with myh concerns and passed to one specialist to another. Symptoms were of basic medical knowledge that I learned in nursing school over twenty-five years ago. Seems to be a lot shame going around and the entire medical system is broken.

Since we didn't get a chance to cover specific medication names in the episode, here are some examples of specific medications in the different classes used for treatment of heart failure: empagliflozin and dapagliflozin (brand names Jardiance and Farxiga) are SGLT2 inhibitors Entresto (sacubitril/valsartan) is the ARNI lisinopril and ramipril are common ACE inhibitors losartan and valsartan are common ARBs (angiotensin receptor blockers) carvedilol and metoprolol are common beta blockers spironolactone is a common MRA (mineralocorticoid receptor agonist) furosemide is a common diuretic hope this is helpful!

Thank you for this well organized and informative presentation. It must have taken quite a bit of work. Here is my experience in case it helps others. I had a heart attack and was treated with artery grafts, valve replacement, and a pacemaker. The biggest improvements for me came from losing a lot of weight, increased physical activity, and upgrading to a biventricular pacemaker. My original pacemaker only had a single lead while the new one has a second lead and defibrillator. Ejection fraction went from 30 to 55%. What a difference! I have too many premature ventricular contractions which are being treated with medication changes. I weight myself daily and take blood pressure readings twice a day. I limit fluid and sodium intake and try to follow the American Heart Association dietary recommendations which emphasizes vegetables. It's possible to feel better with the right treatments and lifestyle changes!

I've had bypass surgery and lately I'll fall asleep fairly early at night then I wake up in the middle of the night and can't fall back asleep is this a symptom of heart problems
@BetterHealthWhileAging5 күн бұрын
If you aren't experiencing any difficulty with breathing, coughing, or chest discomfort during the night, then it doesn't particularly sound heart-related. That said, I would recommend you bring this to the attention of your health providers, so they can make sure it's not related to your heart. There are other medical problems that can cause sleep difficulties, including sleep apnea and many others. Primary insomnia is also common, as is waking up to urinate. Good luck!

Establishing a control group or baseline not easy and doctors not great with social perceptions as many wasted epidemiological studies have shown. The patients getting the drug get intensive medical attention and discussions. While you can give placebo injections to a control group, hard to completely duplicate the experience of the drug group.
