His broken heart
He refused
angioplasty
2 years ago, they just did one and found all these issues only open heart surgery can resolve. How can I sop being angry and so damn terrified without losing my mind. I walk every day it’s my savior. I cry alone all the time. I tried online therapy I hated it.

Life Insurance
I turned 45 years of age six days after my angiogram/
angioplasty
. You would have thought that being a mum of two young adult children, I’d have got life insurance sorted. Sadly life simply got in the way and it just didn’t happen. I do feel guilty about that.

Massive setback…😡😢😡😢😡😢
I subsequently went to the Harefield for
angioplasty
and a stent was inserted BUT this, for whatever reason, triggered a mild/ mini stroke. Despite clear imaging on the brain my left side got weakened along with blurred vision and it is this which has spooked the transplant team.

How long to get better?
So my question is: how long does it take to heal after an
angioplasty
, etc? Meds such as bisoprolol slow my heart beat. Is this part of it? Thanks. This forum is great.

How often should a heart condition take place.
This was followed by
angioplasty
on 20 Feb 2020. This was followed up by my local hospital in March 2020 with various tests and I was advised that I did not sustain any damage to my heart at this time. Since then I have not had a review by my GP or hospital of my heart condition at all in 2020.

What a week!
Went up to hospital for
angioplasty
stent to ensure heart was pumping like a racehorses for eventual double lung transplant. Bosh… STROKE on the trolly and before i know it left arm and leg weakened but more worrying is LEFT HEMIANOPIA , a 50% loss of vision.

Holidays
I did take Clodiprogrel until a month ago but it has been over 12 months since I had an
angioplasty
and two stents fitted one in each coronary artery, the doctor says I have narrowing of the arteries and need to take the rest of the drugs for life. Not for now but for later.

Balloon but no stent
So a question: A friend has just had an HA with primary PCI (so suffered a STEMI i guess) but has just had balloon
angioplasty
without a stent for treatment. Reading up this seems uncommon with 80% of cardiac
angioplasty
procedures appatently resulting in a stent emplacement.

STEMI, feeling low and anyone tested for familial hypercholestrolemia.
Hi All, on 25th Oct, I had a STEMI on LAD, luckily managed to reach the hospital and emergency
angioplasty
was carried out. I am now recovering but has surely left a long term impact both physically and mentally. I am 47 and now with Low EF and generally feeling low.

Post angioplasty 'angina attack' - confused.
3 weeks after a stent was inserted and all other arteries were stated as 'pristine' , I have had difficulty getting back to full physical activity. Yesterday I was 5 minutes into a short walk when I suddenly felt all energy go and had to stop... there was no pain, very minor breathlessness (if at all

Fatigue and meds
Hi all, I had a heart attack in 2020, given balloon
angioplasty
and a stent, since then been on a morning dose of bisoprolol 1.25mg. I suffer very bad sleep patterns and fatigue, I read here some take it at different times yet my prescription just says "daily". Is it safe to try an evening slot?

Medication Change - Strange Symptoms
but has referred me for an angiogram (and
angioplasty
if necessary) because he is unable to explain why I have chest discomfort and/or pain when at rest, and suspects there may issues elsewhere. He also stopped my Bisoprolol 1.25 because my heart rate was dropping to below 50 at rest.

Stenting my left Circumflex artery was unsuccessful
They were unable to stent my left circumflex artery via
angioplasty
2 days ago. They would like to retry to drill out the plaque and then try stenting. How safe is this procedure?

Post Angioplasty upper arm pain
I wonder if anyone else has experienced this sort of pain in the upper part of the arm. I am 6 weeks post procedure and I have seen the Cardiac rehab Nurse who said it could be nerve damage. I don't want to bother the GP if it's going to settle down but it's not improving. It's painful when I try to

Chest pain
After that I had
angioplasty
