since stopping ticagrelor after my 12 months post heart attack I cannot believe the difference in my breathing. It was dreadful and I didn’t want to think that’s as good as it going to get . But so much better! It’s absolutely marvellous! I didn’t have a clue that it’s a side effect of taking the

I’ve made a year.
Hi all, well yesterday the 17th was my first birthday, 1 year since my quadruple CABG. There has been ups and downs and there still is, but I’m still here and that’s the main thing as I should never have survived the first HT according to the surgeon and other cardiologist’s. I just hope it doesn’t go

couldn’t fit a stent, what’s next?
Hi, in February I had a big heart attack after suffering a few in the past. I was admitted to hospital where they tried to fit another stent but couldn’t due to calcification in the LAD. I was discharged with new medication, however I’m anxious to know what’s next. Do I need bypass surgery? With

Update on CABG
Good morning everyone. Finally getting to see Cardiologist on tuesday after my referral for the surgery was overlooked. I was in hospital again two days ago, basically sitting at home, felt nausea kick in and my resting heart rate went up to 168bpm and blood pressure 153/102 😒 . Usual scenario in A

Hi. I had a mild heart attack in October 2021, one stent fitted. Follow up echocardiogram ecg in April 2022, all good, told no further appointments unless there's any problems. I am currently on Candesartan, Bisoprolol, Omeprazole, Aspirin and Rosuvastatin. No one has reviewed this since October 2022

Unstable angina symptoms after stent!
Hi all I had a stent put in yesterday and I was fine after the procedure. Woke in the night with mild angina pain but managed to fall back to sleep eventually. The pain is worse today...constant when resting. Gt spray does nothing to relieve the pain. Same with Relosorb. Just wondering if this is normal

Ticagrelor 6 or 12 months post HA and stents
Hi Can anyone advise why the prescribing of ticagrelor differs between geographical areas, some direct 6 months and some 12 months post stent and heart attack. Is there any short concise research I could read on the rationale/ outcome for length of prescribing?

Pins and needles
I am 4 weeks post HA and stent. In the last week have been waking up in the night with pins and needles down left side. Was bad last night and took 3 hrs to get back to sleep due to resulting anxiety. Spoke to my cardiac nurse who says it's nothing to do with the drugs. She says none of them have that

pramipexole shortage
I have taken pramipexole for RLS over 15 years. Before that I took Ropinirole, which lost its effectiveness. There is hardly any 0.18 mg (180 mcg) left in any Leeds pharmacies . I got just half my prescribed amount today. Without it I shall never sleep again, but be a writhing mess. One reads in the

augmentation on neupro+Gabapentin. should I switch to a different dopamine agonist? All that’s helping is cannabis.
I’ve been on Neupro 1mg patches for 4+ years. I also currently take 800mg Gabapentin: 400mg twice a day. In the last month my RLS symptoms have appeared nightly beginning around 9:30pm. I’m able to fall asleep but then wake up in the middle of the night with RLS symptoms. The only thing that’s helped

Advice pls- FET or endometrial testing
Hi ladies, Would appreciate your advice on my situation. Had an MMC at 7 wks in Oct 22 (4th transfer and first time I’ve ever had a positive pregnancy test). It took nearly 2 months for me to naturally have a period after. I had some miscarriage/ implantation testing with a university research clinic

I had a double cabg in late January and am recovering well with no complications.

Gabapentin plus Sertraline
I’d be grateful for advice. I have longstanding RLS and currently take codeine 30-60mg with partial effect. I’ve never taken anything else for RLS. A few weeks ago I needed antidepressants and my GP gave me Sertraline, as I had managed several months on this previously, with the RLS remaining tolerable

Thankfulness
Woke up to another grey morning, but have realised I have a lot to be thankful for. Firstly although I discovered I had a "widowmaker" blockage of the L AD, my other arteries compensated and I didn't have a heart attack. Secondly the team at Basildon who looked after me last year before and during the

Angina symptoms
Hello all, My first post here so be gentle! 😃 In October ‘21 I I had severe LAD disease which led to a myocardial infarction & a subsequent stent & all was good. In the last month I’ve been given a GTN spray only because the GP thought I had one, but I never had. I’ve also had an Echo recently,

Left atrial enlargement
Hello!I was wondering if anyone has experience of this. What can be done about it, is it reversible with optimal levo? For context, I have Hashi's, I'm 51 and currently experiencing another bout of terrible anxiety ( last time was 5 years ago). Tests have discovered the enlarged LA. I don't have any
