Unstable angina
I was diagnosed in 2016 and had 2 stents. Was originally told it would be 3 but one was was too small to stent. Have had attacks since then which have been managed by the usual meds and GTN spray. However, since having covid a month ago I have had more incidents than in the last year. Has anyone else

Anovulatory medicated FET success rates
Hello ivf warriors, I am having doubts before our FET. I am currently not ovulating (still breastfeeding my ivf double rainbow). Clinic is happy to induce ovulation by medication for the purposes of the transfer. I am having doubts whether there could be less chance of success given my body has not returned

Angioplasty
I have just been told by my cardiologist that I need to have an angioplasty with stent because there is a narrowing of my LAD. I am freaking out - I’m 42 this year and have an 8 year old daughter and a wife who I love very much. I have heard CVD in the LAD is very serious - a widow maker. What

Magnesium salts and RLS: malate, glycinate or citrate
Just following up on a recent post recommending magnesium malate for RLS, quoting recommendations made by Californian company Pure Biogenics in promoting their RLS supplement Seratame. Looking into this, experiments on rats suggested that malate may be the most bio-available form of magnesium; there

HA and Stent
Can anybody relate to this story. My sister lives in Spain and just had a surprise HA, she then had a stent fitted to deal with a blocked artery. She is feeling fine and was told she is ‘fixed’, although left with scarring. This is just two weeks ago. Is it really as simple as that? She had

Using Lactulose long term
Does anyone know if it is safe to use Lactulose long term? I have IBS-C and have tried all the other remedies such as kiwis, psyllium, prunes ,linseeds, chia seeds and I drink plenty of water but find they either don’t work or give me terrible griping pains. Although I’d prefer to take a natural product

feeling let down
Since my husbands heart attack in May last year I have been doing everything I can to help him recover and stay well. He had a very serious heart attack (widow maker), occlusion of his LAD with no viable tissue left to stent or bypass. He has been told by every health professional he’s ever met that

Dad admitted to ICU with Sepsis on 31/12/22
my dad was admitted to the ICU on New Year’s Eve, he’s had pneumonia, strep a and sepsis, he’s currently got the Trachi and is on the kidney filter machine. The doctors are saying that they need to sedate him 100% now so he can get the rest he needs as everything is failing on him. They’ve talked about

One for the ladies!
Hi all, You may recall 12 weeks I posted how terrified I was about my forthcoming CABG operation. I can't thank those of you that responded to my post enough for the support I have had. I am now 11 weeks post, and need help from the ladies.....my ' girls' are mostly still numb... Little sensation on

is this usual?
morning all, in April last year I had a hospital admission for suspected heart issues, in September I was told I have a significant narrowing in an artery, not a main one, they tried to start me in a whole heap of meds and suggested a stent, I wanted a chance to avoid all this so for 6 months I have

Which scan or test?
I'm writing on behalf of a friend. They had a stent nearly 10 years ago. Very overweight, on blood pressure medication, statins, aspirin and spray under the tongue. Just lately they've been getting a lot of chest pain, using spray more and unable to walk far without getting breathless. Blood pressure

Are My Arteries Getting Worse?
Anyone diagnosed with atherosclerosis/heart disease, who has had a heart attack, stroke, a bypass or a stent, or indeed anyone who has had any kind of heart problem due to plaque in their arteries, will surely have asked themselves this question. We're told by the NHS and the BHF that we can't remove

Oxycodone not working well
I have been alternating between Tramadol and Oxycodone for awhile now. I do pretty well on the Tramadol but after a month or so,, sometimes sooner, it isn’t as effective so I switch off to oxycodone. I don’t do near as well on the oxy and am wondering if it’s a dosage issue, a timing issue, or maybe

Omeprazole and Clopidogrel
Had a stent a month ago today and cardiologist wanted me to go back on omeprazole but I insisted on Pantoprazole. I need the omeprazole long term due to severe GERD. He told me that the interaction advice was an old Canadian study and that there have been ample studies to confirm that Ompeprazole did

THC and augmentation
In researching THC use and RLS, it is described as a dopamine agonist. Is there evidence it can also produce augmentation? . It works very well for me and does not produce the side effect that makes Gabapentin, Lyrica or opioids unacceptable options. However I can’t use it much because of my line of
