Are My Arteries Getting Worse?
Anyone diagnosed with atherosclerosis/heart disease, who has had a heart attack, stroke, a bypass or a stent, or indeed anyone who has had any kind of heart problem due to plaque in their arteries, will surely have asked themselves this question. We're told by the NHS and the BHF that we can't remove

Omeprazole and Clopidogrel
Had a stent a month ago today and cardiologist wanted me to go back on omeprazole but I insisted on Pantoprazole. I need the omeprazole long term due to severe GERD. He told me that the interaction advice was an old Canadian study and that there have been ample studies to confirm that Ompeprazole did

One for the ladies!
Hi all, You may recall 12 weeks I posted how terrified I was about my forthcoming CABG operation. I can't thank those of you that responded to my post enough for the support I have had. I am now 11 weeks post, and need help from the ladies.....my ' girls' are mostly still numb... Little sensation on

Moving on from a Tracheostomy
Sorry - another question from me. As it was a slightly different topic, I thought I'd start a new thread. My dad has had a trachy now for just over two weeks, following two weeks fully sedated on a ventilator due to pneumonia. He is much improved and breathing unaided for 36 hours so far. He is also

Anxious
Hi I’m Nicky, I’m 49 and had a heart attack on 23.03.23. I had a stent fitted. I’m feeling anxious and frightened. My lifestyle wasn’t great and I had huge amount of stress at work. I’m so grateful to still be here.

Running can literally save your life !
A rather dramatic title, but In my case it was probably true ! Ok, so I now feel it is time to bring this out into the open. The Admin team know about this . Thank you to Oldfloss and MissUnderstanding for picking up the slack ! Only a handful of others have known about this And to the ones who knew

Stopping Clopidogrel
I've been told to stop Clopidogrel after 12 months since getting a stent.Just 2 days after stopping, I'm getting severe pain like heart attack. I have unstable angina and glyceryl nitrate spray didn't help .took aspirin too as usual. I'm not sure if withdrawing Clopidogrel has caused this. Anyone experienced

Weaning off Ropinirole
I am currently in the process of Ropinirole withdrawal. I was on 3mg per day having started on .5mg. My legs had started to play up as early as 11am in the morning, and I guess I was augmenting. My GP has put on Gabapentin 200mg at night and am reducing the Ropinirole by 0.25 each week. At the

Hello. I’m new here.
Hello RLS forum. I’m new here. I’m already learning a lot from reading your posts and responses. I could quickly tell that it is mostly women on this forum. It is a kinder and gentler place than the Parkinson’s forum with predominately older men. What a relief! I have anxiety which is greatly worsened
