Hi I am a 65 yr old man already have asthma and just before covid hit was diagnosed with Crohn’s then after getting tight chest had a stent fitted in minor artery I believe omd? Which wa 75% blocked am now still getting chest pain tho more uncomfortable than painful on a daily basis. Am classed as disabled as I run out of steam rather quickly! Just had a myocardial perfusion scan which says 15% in lad which I believe is nothing to shout about? So why do I still get symptoms and run out of steam so quickly???

Hello :-)

Some members with more knowledge will maybe able to answer you as to why but if it were me I would be asking my Consultant or Doctor and I would not stop asking till they gave me a reasonable answer

I would look into making an appointment and tell them to explain why you still feel this way

Let us know how you get on :-) x

Can`t offer any advice but I have a friend with Crohns and asthma and she is frequently put on steroids cos she runs out of steam too,a bit older than you but extemely fit up until a couple of years ago.She is trying a new drug for Crohns which she has to inject,it seems to be helping.If I was you I`d have a chat with GP tell him you`re not happy.Best of luck.

Yep I think the combination of drugs may have summats to do with it 🙂

You need to speak to your cardiologist... maybe a vegan diet will help

Thanks but that’s a Nono for me like my meat too much and also diet is a bit more challenging with Crohn’s so like to keep as many options open as available lol
