Experiences with

Angioplasty

After Angioplasty

I had a stent put in Friday 30 th October and I’m wondering has anybody experienced any post problems I’m a bit stressed and anxious with every little twinge and ache I get

Hi I recently had an angioplasty on my right artery in last month.. I was diognosed with stable angina ( altho it happens whilst resting and sleeping) I am currently experiencing pain in my left arm, of I left my arm it's quite painful, and resting my arm it aches.. Is this normal?

Can anyone advise me as l am booked into hospital in 2days time and I am very concerned can they go ahead with the angioplasty if l still have the lump in my leg?

I have been offered my Covid jab this Saturday 9th January but I have provisional date of 22nd Jan for angioplasty. Is it OK to go ahead with the jab at this time?

Hopefully my angioplasty is scheduled for this a Friday. Do you still take nitrates? I know aspirin and anti clotting medication is prescribed as well as continuing with my blood pressure tablets. Is it a problem getting travel insurance after stents?

Hi is there any advice on UA as I was never given a definite diagnosis of my angioplasty and Stent I have twinges and pains at rest but not so much on exertion every time I get a twinge and pain I go into panic mode

My husband had another heart attack on 8th Nov, had angio on 16th 3 further stents fitted ( 6 in total now) he was feeling great for couple days, breathlessness gone and back to normal skin colour then he started to look pale again and getting chest pains that twice went off with gtn but has other pain

I immediately received angioplasty and 2 stents. Since then, I have twice had the experience of receiving an EKG deemed alarming by the cardiologist who recommended another catheterization. Both times, no blockage was discovered. I was told once because of my stents, this could occur.

My partner had angioplasty on Tuesday. It failed in his right arm due to the artery collapsing within a few inches. He is still having pins and needles, sensitivity and occasional weakness in his hand/fingers. They went in on left side and my partner says this arms fine.

Hi Philippa just a couple of questions regarding my angioplasty is it usual to have discomfort a week later whilst stent is settling and also is it usual to have stomach pain and indigestion with aspirin and Clopidogrel I have a history of GERD and have been taking Omeprazole as well as Metformin ,statins

I am generally fit but just interested to know following an angioplasty when should we start exercising? Any thoughts? Many thanks

They did angioplasty, but were unable to insert stent(s) because of ectatic Right coronary artery. I'm told this means that instead of being smooth, the artery has narrow bits and wide bits. The problem was clots in the artery which blocked it completely.

Went for a walk today only 25 minutes everything went ok but now feeling it was too much for first walk now feeling a little discomfort When did anyone first go for a walk after their Angioplasty my sister is a Cardio vascular nurse and has said as the heart is a large muscle cardio is best for me to

They said his ECG looked like he had had a heart attack and they sent him straight to one of the bigger hospitals for Angioplasty to insert a stent. When they did the angioplasty, there was no need for the stent - vessels all fine, no collapses, no clots and no blockages.

Hi and thank you to everyone that replied to my post (Re-Angioplasty) Had the stent fitted although they did pressure testing first which was kinda weird, it was decided to stent so had that done.

I am due to go into hospital tomorrow for an angioplasty, was supposed to be done back in March but was understandably cancelled! But I have severe COPD (Emphysema) and am wondering if having a stent put in will help my breathing? The stent is for my Right Coronary Artery and is appx 25% blocked!

I’m terrified about the angioplasty and stents, even though I know it’s a fairly common procedure and less risky than CABG.

Went to doctor who thinks it might be tendinitis but possibility it might be related to angioplasty procedure. Went to physiotheropist who does not think it's tendinitis and might be damage from my angioplasty procedure. I have prescription for X-ray and ultrasound but not until August.

Also if anyone has had stents/angioplasty and if it has worked/how long for? Thank you. Yours truly, Pear.
