Arm problems after angioplasty

I had angioplasty on Tuesday & one stent fitted. My right arm is really sore & bruised & it feels like my bicep muscle is flexed. Just wondered if this is normal as finding so uncomfortable & affecting my sleep.I had angioplasty on Tuesday & one stent fitted.

Bisoprolol and severe breathlessness

Hello I was in hospital 3 weeks ago for a scheduled angiogram and possible angioplasty. They didn’t need to do the angioplasty as I only had minor narrowing in right artery, checked my LAd which had two stents two years ago and all is good.Hello I was in hospital 3 weeks ago for a scheduled angiogram and possible angioplasty.

How long

Nine weeks today since I had my angioplasty and one stent. People I spoke to who had stents fitted all said they felt fantastic afterwards - I don;t. I am depressed, tired, sometimes have palpitations , and most of all am short of breath.Nine weeks today since I had my angioplasty and one stent.

Cirrhosis PAD diabetes and now a necrotic toe can it get any worse!!

4 days in hospital for an angiogram he’s totally confused again weak and wandering and they basically said an angioplasty only has low chance of success and significant risk of bleed or full limb amputation bypass is very high risk but we could amputate above the knee!

When Again??

All genetics so now I feel that unconscious bias of waiting for the inevitable, but I did have angioplasty two years ago said all fine, why do I fear every twitch and aches can you due to exercise and diet keep at bay or will? Any insight from others would be good, Thanks in advance.All genetics so now I feel that unconscious bias of waiting for the inevitable, but I did have angioplasty two years ago said all fine, why do I fear every twitch and aches can you due to exercise and diet keep at bay or will?

Unexpected heart attack Sunday

Hi I’m a 63 year old female who had a heart attack on Sunday, despite living a fairly healthy life and exercising regularly Been discharged from hospital after an angioplasty and stent fitting and find myself at home with what feels like a million tablets.Hi I’m a 63 year old female who had a heart attack on Sunday, despite living a fairly healthy life and exercising regularly Been discharged from hospital after an angioplasty and stent fitting and find myself at home with what feels like a million tablets.
