Is this a long wait to see a cardiologist, or is it normal?
I had an MI while abroad in December, I had to have CPR, I had a stent put in and spent 4 days in a foreign hospital ( it was very nice and my treatment was excellent) and I am now on what appears from this forum to be a pretty standard cocktail of thinners, statins, beta blockers, etc . I’ve seen

I’m confused
So I posted before last year as had been having chest pain and pain in my left shoulder and arm which woke me from sleep on several occasions. I was referred to chest pain clinic at local hospital and tests and scans has revealed a considerable blockage in LAD. I went for angioplasty and they concluded

Emotional setback
Hi All,Had HA back in September & had a stent fitted. After struggling with side effects of meds for many months, it seems to have sorted itself out & for the last month, I seem to feel like my old self again. Over the months I've had one or two little niggles/ feelings around my chest. Never lasted

New Job, stressed regarding previous health
Hi all, just looking for some information to put my mind at ease as no amount of googling can give me the answer I need. I had a Stent put in December 2012 and another December 2022, I was made redundant December 2023 and I have just secured further employment. My concern is surrounding the health questionnaire

Suspected TBI
Hi, I'm new here and don't know really what I'm looking for but maybe just some advice or guidance....my dad had a heart attack back in August. He was in the gym ironically and fell to the ground. His head hit a solid concrete floor. They rushed him to hospital and he was straight into a heart ward.

Angina
I had 1 stent fitted in 2021 following a mild heart attack. In June last year I had chest pain, went to A&E and after tests was told angina and had I been using my Gtn spray? I hadn't as had not felt the need other than this 1 episode. Since then I had pain once again, overnight, at rest, used the gtn

Sudden single sharp breath intake
I have recently developed a new symptom 1 1/2 year after an aortic valve replacement and a stent. I am having random sharp intake of a single breath several times a day. I otherwise feel totally normal and my breathing is fine. Any ideas what might cause this?

leg pain
had stent fitted nearly 3 weeks ago , I’m sometimes getting woken at night with ache in my left leg . Wonder if it’s vascular issue with leg getting enough oxygen , or could it be my Statin . Just been switched from pravastatin to rosuvastatin

Shoulder / neck
Hi, I had a stent fitted to my 99% blocked LAD in December 2023. The issue first came to light with left shoulder pain and discomfort, which I'm still experiencing. I'm booked in to see my GP on Friday morning and they're doing an ECG, which showed no abnormalities prior to my stent. Any advice please

Hello, I had a coronary stent fitted in October 2023. My 3rd in16 years. I have recovered well after each episode and returned to an active life. I have started a couch to 5K and managed a 5K in 30 minutes after a month of exercise. So I am really pleased. However recently I have noticed my calves, ankles
