Abnormal Stress Test

[Mcgume]

Hey everyone, I was hoping to post a HA anniversary upbeat outcome from my stress test today. Its almost 12mths post HA and stent... but the computer says NO. Seems I have some abnormal blood flow so I have been recalled for another angiogram. I was hoping to hit the reset button today and get on with 2020 but this feels.like ground hog day. I have been getting aches and pains in the usual places but was hoping it was the meds or the anemia but it seems there is a possibility my stent is not working properly or something worse, who knows. I have to wait now for the angiogram but now I know the aches and pains are not the meds I feel utterly panicked. Wisdom and reassurance welcome.

Sorry to hear that Mcgume.Try not to worry too much at this stage until all the tests are done.You have done well over the past year so try to focus on that.

Thanks for the reminder, I have been doing almost everything I can to keep well so it's hard to stay positive but you are right and I need to wait for the results, thanks

That's all you can do.I have to remind myself every day that I am doing my best to be healthy.I am also waiting for test results... for a five day event monitor and a CT angiogram. When I was first diagnosed last year I was beating myself up daily, but it doesn't help.Try to take each day as it comes and I hope you get answers soon.

hi mcgume. i too had more or less your situation. iv just had my2nd anniversary oh HA. i was pretty much pain free my first year. i had other problems but no pain. i started getting pain bout march last year which just got gradually worse. anyway ended up in cath lab and they found original stent had closed up again then 6 weeks later failed stress test. was sent straight to cath lab and another stent put in another artery. everyone’s different and this is my story. hopefully you’ll be fine. the important thing is your being treated for it and they’ll get to the bottom of it. with me i’m still going through the process to find answers as i don’t fall into “normal”category but i’m being looked after. just keep the faith,trust your doctors and keep doing what you started after your HA. good luck in your journey ❤️shiona

I hope you are right, I am.just struggling with keeping positive about things but i will get there because i have to. I am moving house at the end of the month and my daughter is on the GCSE road so I have no choice but to get over myself and get on with things, thanks for you positivity
