Tramadol has been a life saver for me
I try to alternate between mirapexin(unfortunately) and tramadol. Its the only thing that seems to work for me. Ive tried most other meds except methadone and the one which makes you feel nauseous as they wont give it to me. Lately though Im not doing so well as when I come off the tram I wake up every

Angioplasty not angiogram?
Hi all, as you probably know it looks like two of my bypasses have failed only 8 months after having 4 done😩. I’ve been under investigation and I was told last week they were getting me in quickly for an angiogram then decide the next step? Today I’ve had a letter saying I’m in on the 3rd March for

First post. LVT recovery and exercise
Hi all, been reading posts for the last few weeks and now plucking up courage to post myself. I had a HA on Xmas day while half way on a 30 mile ride. Hindsight says I shouldn’t have ridden home but I did, silly boy! Troponin of 4K+ suggests a bad one and ended up with one stent and, 2 weeks later,

Confused about reliability of visual fields tests results
Hello everyone,I'm feeling confused about how visual fields tests relate to real life experience of visual changes. I'm wondering how to communicate with consultants etc if what I experience, and what their tests say, don't match up. Today at my glaucoma clinic appointment I did a visual fields test

Views on running after CABG?
I suppose this is a addressed to people who used to run before their operation.I used to run and I wasn't very good.Pre op on a treadmill I could run at 5mph, or twelve minute mile pace, if I veered over this I might have chest discomfort and had to take a rest.I was warned not to exert myself but felt

Hi everyone my consultant is wanting me to have a cataract and stent op to bring my pressures down but iam terrified of being awake for any eye op. I actually asked him if he could put me to sleep and do it!!How does anyone get over this fear and anxiety. Have thought of nothing else for weeks. Surely

Stents AFTER Bypass Surgery and fully occluded LAD.
On Wednesday I'm having multiple Stents in my LAD, Circumflex and RCA after my triple bypass in Sept failed. My LAD is chronically occluded and my consultant has said he will try his best to stent it. Fortunately, the blockage is lower down the artery which is why I haven't (praise God, as yet) had a

Struggling after heart attack and covid
Had a heart attack In September, did not have a stent inserted as hospital said that due to the ambulance taking 5 hours to arrive it was too late for treatment. Was recovering and getting stronger but then my husband caught covid and gave it to me. No longer testing positive but it is 2 weeks now

RLS under anesthesia
Has anyone had RLS while under anesthesia ? I didn't know it would be possible but my Dr told my husband I was probably a secret opioid addict because my legs were twitching a lot during the procedure...... 1. I don't take opioids. Even when I tried them for RLS years ago it didn't really work and

GTN Spray or tablets?...
Hi. I'm due to go away for 3 months to a very hot area without Aircon or refrigeration. I not on my GTN spray it has a temperature storage range and I'll not be able to meet that range - it will be too hot. Would I be better off with tablets? Incidentally I've not had to use the spray once since a stent

Post Cabg how soon do you think i can i lie on my side?
i asked the physiological this when i was still in and she said when i liked.To start with even slight movement was unthinkable,I lay and slept absolutely still.I would dream i was stretching and wake up with my arms braced. I've been lucky because i am fairly content on a pillow slope and laying stock

Small lump at radial artery site for stent catheter
I have a stent fitted last Friday and I have just noticed a small lump with a pulse near the entry site for the catheter in wrist. Is this a normal thing and do it require any treatment ? or will it go away on its own.

Gabapentin
Hi everyone. Does anyone have experience with gabapentin for anxiety and depression? Some background. My Father passed away in March 2022, which left me devastated. I was then diagnosed with a heart condition requiring a stent. Since then I have really been struggling. I used to be very fit and active

Ropinirole
I’ve been on 3.5 milligrams of Ropinirole for about 4 years now but my RLS is getting much worse- legs and arms. Even though I take it throughout the day and am very active I cannot sit down and take a rest without the RLS kicking in. I am fortunately getting some sleep. Should I switch to pregabalin

Orbita trial.
Well have a date (2nd March) to find out if I had a stent as part of this trial. It's been an interesting few weeks lately as have had an orthopaedic appointment ( for knee) and the colonoscopy and haven't been able to say whether I have a stent or not, at least I will know now.

That chest pain for years and years really was something after all!
Do you have unresolved, mystery chest pain? After years of going to the doctor, cardiologist, and ER with chest pain and having the doctors sort of patiently put up with me and tell me the tests didn’t show much—even putting me on blood pressure meds in order to do something for me (even though I didn
