Hi everyone. I am due to start back to work next month after being off for a year. I had H/A at work last march.After being admitted to A and E in July with angina pain was sent for a stent.

Running Fitness post angiogram
Hello. Two weeks ago I was half way through a marathon training schedule, as I have been for the last 12 years during Feb/March. However, I had to have an angiogram last week because of intermittent chest pain and “potential” stenosis revealed on a CT scan. No stent was needed as the flow was 97%. For

Angina pain
I'm four months post stent insertion for a 95% blockage in my LAD. My symptoms before surgery were a burning pain lower neck on initially starting walking fast (and would then go away) and only two episodes of intense pain. I'm 46. I still have this pain on walking and have had one episode of what

the culprit is in the cbd I am taking
HI, thanks to all of you who have responded to my last post. After days of wondering as what is the reason the oxycodone I have taking for years lost effectiveness all of a sudden. It is not the pregabalin but the high-dose CBD I have been taking in the past half month reduces the effectiveness of

Has anyone tapered off/withdrawn from Methadone...after using it to get off the DA drugs?
I seriously need help-each time I find a doctor to prescribe Methadone, they give it to me for a short time and then state they can no longer do so. I cannot live with this monthly terror...the current doc said I have one month to find someone else, as his clinic is being monitored. Today I had a new

Change in Taste
Hi all Had a heart attack earlier this year and a stent was fitted. Has anyone experienced a change in their sense of taste? I get a sweet and metalic taste and its difficult to eat anything I eat doesnt taste very pleasant. I assume it is related to the medications I have been taking?

HAS ANYONE HAD SEVERE RLS EPISODES OCCURRING WHILE UNDER SEDATION DURING MEDICAL PROCEDURE?
In the past 10 or more years I have needed occasional Epidural injections under sedation due to a spinal injury. Problem is I become combative during most of these procedures and have been lucky that no one has gotten hurt during these occurrences. I thought this was happening due to my personal fear

60% to 80% stenosis in mid and distal LAD
Hi everyone, Started the year off in and out of AE with high/low irregular heart beat and AF. Seen Cardiogist, had echocardiogram ( normal ) and CT coronary angiogram. Cardiologist happy that change of drugs will stop AF but now it has highlighted this blockage problem. I am not breathless, even after

Husband ignoring advice
My husband found out he needs a stent 3 weeks ago, he is due to have surgery at the end of March. He already has type 2 diabetes and gout both diagnosed 5 years ago, and is obese. He typically wants medication to manage his conditions and refuses to change his lifestyle of unhealthy eating and drinking

Worried re drink
For the first time in about two years I got drunk last night and now I’m worried I’ve damaged my heart? Has anyone else had one too many after a night out when they have a stent

any advice gratefully received
Waiting time for a stent . i had an angiogram 2 weeks ago after exhausting all other tests to find out why i have a mumur and LBBB. The result which they told me at the time was 80% blockage in LAD . I have just had a call from cardiolgist to say that after discussing my case a stent would be advisable

Heart friendly multivitamins
Hi all, so I’d normally take a daily multivitamin. Hadn’t given any thought into whether I should or not since the Angiogram and stent. Transpires as I’m on antiplatelet medication, I shouldn’t be taking Iron or Vitamin K (contraindications). This advice came from a Pharmacist. Instead I’ve bought these

Bp advice
Hi all, I am a little concerned about my BP. It's slowly getting higher, today's reading was 157/79. I am also hearing my heart beating in my right ear all the time which is a little unsettling. I have contacted my GP, currently only can do so via an online request form which can take up to 48 hours

Extremely high free beta HCG at week 12 screening
Hi i am38, pregnant via IVF for 1st child. 12weeks screening put me 1:40 chance for Down’s syndrome, due to very high hcg 5.83 mom. The rest are within normal range. Subsequent NIPT showed low chance for all three syndromes. Any thoughts if I still should do aminocentesis ? Any similar experience with

Psychological support after CABG
I was wondering how I can help my husband to get over the trauma of what he went through. He just had a bypass at 42 years and this is making him realise how limited his life span is. I know he tries to be positive, but he cannot help but think about what he thinks is his "impending doom" . He said that
