Aortic Dissection
6 weeks ago I was unexpectedly diagnosed with an aortic dissection and had key hole surgery to put in a stent. I have had no aftercare whatsoever as I was discharged from ICU and not the Cardio ward. As such I have fallen between the gaps. I have no idea about what I can and can't do. Im no 6 weeks post

RLS nightmare
I have had Rls for about 10 years now and am currently on Ropinirole 4mg. Nights are ok but it’s the daytime attacks that are becoming a nightmare now. I just did a 4 hour flight to Europe and despite being early morning, within half an hour my legs were going ballistic. I spent the next 3 1/2 hours

Billiary Stent
6 months on from my transplant and I’ve just had my second stent fitted, I walk at least 2.5 miles a day but I’d like to do a bit more moderate exercise to try and lose some belly fat. My wife is concerned that it could cause the new stent to migrate as well, is she right. Thanks Chris

DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE LAD BLOCKAGE 95%
My Cardioligist did a left heart catheration last weds and placed 2 stents in my RCA that was 99% blocked. That has all seemed to work out well. He also was going to try and stent my LAD that he now says is 95% blocked. He said the entire LAD was 95% thru out the entire LAD. He decided then it would

Homeopathic treatment
I've lived with ataxia for around ten years and its grown progressively worse. Contemporary straightforward here's your prescription' medicine seems to have no place in its treatment.

Pain after stent
Hi, my husband had a stent 18 months ago following an Angina diagnoses and still gets some sharp pain in the chest every now and then which always happens when he is at rest. The pain is quick and sharp and doesn’t last like the Angina pain he had pre stent so he doesn’t need to use his spray. It still

buprenorphine patch - any advice?
Hello, my GP has agreed to prescribe me the buprenorphine patch 5mg starting from Monday. He will not prescribe tablets at this point - he feels the patch will give me better coverage for both the pain in my joints and also my chronic restless legs and will counter the continual withdrawal type issues

I’m confused
So I posted before last year as had been having chest pain and pain in my left shoulder and arm which woke me from sleep on several occasions. I was referred to chest pain clinic at local hospital and tests and scans has revealed a considerable blockage in LAD. I went for angioplasty and they concluded

A Few Words About Atherosclerosis And A Potential Remedy
The main cause of death in the world is cardiovascular disease (CVD) and Atherosclerosis is considered a main cause of CVD.

TAVI op coming up - tips?
Hi there - my mum has a TAVI operation for a stent in her aorta coming up in July or August. She's in her early 80s and didn't know she had any heart problems until a fall a month back. Can anyone share their experiences of this procedure please - especially what happens post-op once the stent is fitted

Apologies.
Sorry for lack of update. I was really tired yesterday. Saw the on duty cardiologist yesterday morning. I now know in more detail why they wont attempt to stent me. Problem is in a small branch artery close to a major one. Attempting to stent that narrower one carries a greater risk of rupture plus would

RLS/BUPRENORPHINE/ BREATHING
I’m curious if anyone else has had sleep/breathing issues with buprenorphine. I use a sleep tracker and it started alerting me to a very serious sleep apnea problem which I have never had prior to buprenorphine. I have struggled with bup anyway. It helps the RLS for sure and it is the only thing that
