Why men who get up in the night to pee may have a breathing problem (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ken, like many men, had been nagged into coming to see me by his wife. She was exhausted. Every time he got up in the night to go to the loo, he woke her too – and what had started as once a night had crept up to four, five or even six times. Ken was remarkably relaxed about it. It was his prostate, he told me. All his friends got up at night too. It was just part of getting older. It's an answer I hear almost daily. Ask a man over 50 why he's up at night and he'll blame his prostate, the small
The truth about why so many women are developing lymphoedema: DR KAYE (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jenny spent her whole life believing she was fat. No matter how much weight she lost, her legs never seemed to change – they remained puffed up and swollen. It’s why Jenny says she would never wear shorts or skirts. It’s one of the reasons she struggled with an eating disorder for years. But, in Jenny's case, it was never about her weight. Jenny has lymphoedema – a chronic condition that causes swelling in the body’s tissue, typically in the arms or legs. And in my clinic she is far from alone,
Why I'm telling patients to come off heartburn drugs: DR PHILIPPA KAYE (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have a confession to make. Something has gone horribly wrong with the way we GPs hand out heartburn medication. Known as proton pump inhibitors, or PPIs, these tablets are some of the most popular medicines in the world. This is hardly surprising given that the condition, also known as acid reflux, affects more than six million Britons. The uncomfortable problem, where stomach acid rises into the throat leading to nausea, discomfort and chest pain, can make life a misery for patients, not leas
DR PHILIPPA KAYE: There ARE early warning signs of pancreatic cancer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As a GP at a busy London surgery, I see thousands of patients every year. Sometimes, even often, you won't remember every consultation without your notes – but there are some patients, and some diagnoses, that stay with you for years. Take Alan – not his real name – who I’d seen regularly at my surgery for more than a decade. Over that time, as his GP, I’d got to know him and his health well. So it came as a shock when a letter arrived from the hospital informing me that, at 77, he had been diag
The blood pressure pill side effects you MUST tell your GP about (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Years ago, while on a home visit to see an elderly patient with an infected leg ulcer, I realised for the first time that Britain has a blood pressure pill problem. While examining the patient, let's call her Mary, I discovered that her blood pressure was sky-high, and I asked if she'd taken her medication that morning. Mary was on three different blood pressure drugs. 'Oh yes,' she said. 'The chemist delivers them every month.' Only Mary hadn't really answered the question. When I asked again,
