Just had a phone call from my GP. I’m getting a blood test on Thursday morning as part of my cardiovascular review. Am I safe to assume this is just routine?
They just said a blood test. That’s as much as I know till I get there!is it a D-Dimer test do you know ?
ask them, because it tests you for the possibility of having blood clots or strokes.They just said a blood test. That’s as much as I know till I get there!
I’ll ask when it gets done. Will probably be one of the practice nurses that does it!ask them, because it tests you for the possibility of having blood clots or strokes.
It may well be a D-Dimer test l don't know as I've recently found out about them and I've brought some in case anyone in the family need testing due to the poisoned jabs.
They'll know, good luck.I’ll ask when it gets done. Will probably be one of the practice nurses that does it!
Cheers mate!They'll know, good luck.
Probably checking cholesterol levels, which cause blocking of arteries if too high. If you're already on medication probably also checking liver function.Just had a phone call from my GP.

Thanks for that!Probably checking cholesterol levels, which cause blocking of arteries if too high. If you're already on medication probably also checking liver function.
Thankyou. I will ask them about Vitamin D levels and look at supplements if needed!Possibly an LTC. A long term condition test.
Basically a review of your current treatment, medication etc. Box ticking exercise.
Ask them to check your vitamin D levels if it is not on the list, you do nor want low vit D going into winter. If you already take vitamin D supplements you do not need to bother, you will probably be ok.
on that issue, we all need to take around 10,000 itu of D3 everyday plus K2 with it so most of it doesn't just go through you, that apples to all who live in the northern hemisphere. 2 tablets normally.Possibly an LTC. A long term condition test.

It is variable, depending on the individual, but increasing our vit D levels is generally a very good thing. Some people, mainly those who spend a lot of time outdoors, have good levels but most do not. Illness and some medical procedures can reduce vit D levels quite alarmingly.on that issue, we all need to take around 10,000 itu of D3 everyday plus K2 with it so most of it doesn't just go through you, that apples to all who live in the northern hemisphere. 2 tablets normally.
About 5 years ago I developed throat cancer, curable but the treatment was a bitch.Cheers Lads, I'll pass on the fish if you don't mind but take heed of most of the rest of it!
couple of points C, only eat wild salmon and if you take D3 vitamins always take K2 with it as it will stop most of it going straight through your system, it'll bind the D3. The rule of thumb, as l was told by a holistic dietician l see is that the fish that are more or less the shape fish that kids draw are the ones to eat.Cheers Lads, I'll pass on the fish if you don't mind but take heed of most of the rest of it!

oh yeh, don't buy anything from Holland and Barrett its shit. A new good cheap source for vitamins is a company called British Supplements, Cytoplan are also quality or Health Ranger. Organic.
I can see you're on top things AFC. I'm sure you know how the two states that our bodies are always in and the effect, so for the benefit of others who may not I'll mention it.Good points bnet.
Sometimes when preaching to the unconverted I find it best to keep it simple. Yes, I could do better than my simple regime but it is easy to take and the routine straightforward. My various health issues depress my vit d levels so it is important that I keep an eye on that, recent tests show me to have decent levels while Mrs AFC, on the same dosage, is very good indeed.
I am not, and never have been much of a fish eater, a little more now we live where we do, but for me the supplements are essential. Overall that simple regime is pretty effective, I brush off most everyday infections with relative ease, even the 'rather nasty' cold that so many seem to be complaining about gave me no more than a runny nose for 2 days.
It may not be perfect, but it does help, a lot!
Morning bnet.I can see you're on top things AFC. I'm sure you know how the two states that our bodies are always in and the effect, so for the benefit of others who may not I'll mention it.
When we are young, we're strong and we get over all sorts easily. The thing is a lot don't realise is that are bodies are in one of two states, the first being "rest and relaxation" which is the best condition to be in at all times.
The immune system, of which much much powerful than the medical profession will allow you to belief , will work at its best and keep you in good health. The second is "fight or flight" (stress). What happens is our bodies in this state the blood rushes to our limbs, it leaves our organs and stops the immune system working, as we have to escape or fight these Tigers to survive ! lf you immune system is not working because of this, any health issues will thrive. The saying "stress will kill you" is seriously true and this is why.
The pharmicutcle industries enemy is the immune system, thats why they do every thing bar encourage you to bolster it, and give you their poisoned patented drugs
Regarding booze, if you drink when you are ill what happens is alcohol being a poison, the body will give this preference and the immune system will stop working immediately on the illness and attack the alcohol. So by drinking while ill you are leaving the illness to run wild unopposed.
I've spent my life under stress as I've always got a buzz of of the adrenaline buzz, its been hard to beat this lifetime addiction to adrenaline, and l lapse into it from time to time.
