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.

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.

First intervention and stent possibly not solving things?
It's worrying as I constantly flit from feeling like I'm getting over the Cardiac event but then switching to worrying that my issue wasn't solved by the
angioplasty
and feeling in danger.

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.

Waiting time
Hi...i know its a bit of a postcode lottery, but how long did any of you have to wait for an angiogram/
angioplasty
? I have a 'significant blockage' but not had a HA. Am waiting to have it done at Papworth. Just wondering if it will be 3 months, 6 months.. A year? Took 8 months to get this far.

If You Want to Know Your Risk of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) Stop Focusing on LDL-C, Instead Focus on Apo B & Apo A1 - the ApoB/ApoA1 Ratio
Source: ibid --------------------------------- As many of my followers know, in 2015, I had bypass surgery followed by 2
angioplasty
procedures that resulted in the insertion of 4 stents, due to the failure of the bypass surgery.

angioplasty

Anti platelets and anti coagulation and an itch!
I have never had a meaningful conversation with a cardiologist, the brief chat I had at the time of the
angioplasty
was clopidogrel for life..... I have done 12 months and really want to understand why I have to take both. Surely anticogulation through the Apixaban would suffice.

TAKING 300MGS ASPERIN AS A SELF-HELP MEASURE . . .
Following my recent stress echo test, which I was told was to determine ischemia and micro vascular angina - I was told I was being scheduled for another
angioplasty
/PCI. Already have 3 stents from back in July. Time passed, I heard nothing so called the Cardiology OPC.
