post heart attack and stent insertion
my partner had heart attack and stent inserted at the end of January. Nothing but trouble since in that it seems the medication has some effect in constant dizzy spells and light heads, so extreme that he cannot leave the house and isn't eating as much etc. He has been taken off ramipril altogether.

Woohoo! 1 year anniversary since my quadruple CABG 🙌🏻
Wow! Hard to believe that it’s been a year since I had quadruple bypass heart surgery following an Nstemi heart attack. I am so grateful. This last month has been pretty eventful too. I got the opportunity to thank two people that really contributed to my path of treatment and therefore my rebirth

CABG Runners
What are people's experiences of running after CABG / bypass ops? I'm interested in everyone's stories: how soon, fast/slow, good/bad experiences, advice, etc, etc. I'm nearly 6 weeks out of CABG op, getting more mobile walking and thinking of mid-term aims (previously very active and fit). My recovery

Swollen feet following CABG
Hi - hoping someone can help. My partner had a double bypass on 25 June and is recovering at home. It seems to be going well, apart from his feet being hugely swollen. They were swollen when he left hospital (I had to buy some huge slippers just to bring him home) and they haven’t reduced in size at

Longest bout of RLS 13 days of no sleep
I’m exhausted! I twitch and full body movements every night until 3AM then wake up at 6. On top of the RLS, I have now developed an upper respiratory infection. I was prescribed cough syrup with phenegran and it made me have the worst ever attack. I have called the doctor and he gave me gabapentin and

pre diabetes
Had an NStemi and stent fitted in Oct last year. Obviously a shock and have been following all advice, did cardiac rehab and going on daily walks and gym twice a week. I asked GP surgery for cholesterol blood test to see if it had gone down further and particularly if bad cholesterol had gone down. However

something cheerful
We are all here because of some type of event, me HA and stent fitted. This has so much information p#on this site and it is very supportive but the question most people ask is how long will I live, whilst no one knows . what we should be doing is celebrating every year since our first event. Wouldn't

post CABG 11 weeks
I was doing so well, going to rehab exercising etc All of a sudden have developed severe new pain in my lower ribs and middle of my sternum, so bad it takes my breath away! I’m still a cocktail of high strength pain relief following the surgery. Saw the surgeon well his junior last week, but he didn

Another Stent
I had a heart attack for my 60th birthday nearly 4 years ago and had 3 stents. I made a pretty quick recovery and soon was back into a fairly active life. Then three weeks ago I started to get chest pain coming on just randomly, even at rest - nothing as bad as the heart attack pain but still a worry.One

JOINiNG THE DOTS - JUST A THOUGHT 🤔
November 2022 I had a stroke and was told it was caused by Atherosclerosis in the carotid artery. In the summer of 2023 I underwent various heart tests and was told I had needed angioplasty and stenting. On the day of the procedure things didn't go to plan, the stenting did not happen because of the

pre-op
I’m on waiting list for CABG. Just been called for pre-op. Had lung/carotid/echo done. How long have people waited for The Op after pre-op? Going to Wythenshawe if that helps

Therapulse - Do I really need to scale up slowly the way the maker says to?
I've had RLS for decades & currently take Horizant, methadone, and a small amount of Mirapex (I ran into trouble when I tried to drop the Mirapex completely so my specialist suggested leaving a small amount in for now). To help further lower my med doses, or to help with handling flareups without increasing

Stopping PPI?
Hello everyone, I'm approaching a year post Nstemi with one stent and thus the end of ticagrelor hourray! What I am wondering is if I am then down to aspirin as the only blood thinner (plus ezetimibe and atorvastatin long term but hopefully not much longer on bisoprolol and ramipril ) do I still need

Cannot sleep after CABG
I've always found it difficult to sleep. Over the last few years I've only ever had 3/4 hours sleep per night. Like all insomniacs I've tried everything, from medication, supplements to CBT-i but nothing really helped. In the end I accepted it and functioned happily enough from day to day. Since

Having a STEMI in mid 40's...the search for underlying causes / answers for premature CHD.
Hi Everyone, My husband had a major STEMI in March 2023 with a full blockage of his circumflex artery. He was 44 years old and playing 5-a-side football in a local sports centre when he collapsed without warning. Thank goodness it happened there of all places however, as the swift actions of his team

cramps caused by statins?
my husband had a HA in 2018, stent fitted and has been well since albeit on a daily regime of tablets. During that time he has had to switch statins 3 times due to pain and cramps in shoulders. He is now suffering terribly from continuous cramping in his legs. Do you feel it is the statins causing this
