Has anyone had to give up work because of their heart issues?
Hi all, I have chronic angina and had a stent fitted 6 months ago. I have a very stressful job that gives me palpitations and chest pains. I'm thinking of stopping working but not sure about benefits ( I'm 52 and never been out of work) I know PIP is nigh on impossible to claim but I really can't carry

Omg Prednisolone
I was diagnosed with PMR approx 18 months and for the last 6 weeks have been on 0mg Pred after following a very slow tapering plan ( advice given on this forum). I had a couple of set backs and had to increase the dose and start tapering again . I was very keen to get off the Pred but soon realised

Erosion of a historically good marriage due to my FND
After a year’s onset of various symptoms, I was diagnosed with FND July 2021. Thanks be to God that I live near a world renown hospital and have a cutting-edge neurologist who is a movement specialist My husband is not responding well to this. He refuses to read any of the literature and doctor notes

No support from GP - need to change meds
Hi everyone and Merry Christmas! This is my first post to the forum and I'm sorry it's quite a long one. I'm hoping that someone can advise me about a change of medication. I've had RLS since a teenager (now in my 50s). I augmented on Pramipexole about 5 years ago and went through hell to stop. I tried

How often are meds reviewed by GP or Cardiologist.
I have been on the same medication since Feb 2020, never the doses or my case reviewed with the exception of an appointment with a Cardiologist in July 2020. Dealing with my GP surgery and getting any response from them is hard work, however and before contacting them I wanted to check with others how

Hello
My twin brother had a heart attack at the weekend, he had 2 stent procedures and is now home. It has scared him and everyone in the family. From being 'fit', to feeling fragile and stunned, little overwhelmed by recovery ahead, looking to see if this community can provide some support, advice etc..

Finally had a face to face with my cardiologist
Yesterday after a long frustrating wait, I finally got a face to face meeting with my cardiologist I also took my wife to try and get through to the cardiologist how bad my issues are and how much it is affecting my day to day life. Got to say it was hard work due to her being so dismissive of things

NI Chest Heart and Stroke 5k
So,signed up yesterday for a 5k walk at Stormont at end of February . After my heart attack in April last year it amazed me how dr's can go through your wrist and insert a little metal stent into an artery to keep you alive!! Also my son has a bicuspid aortic valve which will probably need replaced
