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

Raynauds
Dr diagnosed me in 1994 with Raynauds said it’s usually a prelude to later disease like, arthritis or scleroderma I have both now. Along with numerous other diseases. Had open heart surgery in 2005. Stent put in aorta in 2010. And pretty sure my next visit to vascular surgeon in March for my PAD in legs

Stopping clopidogrel safely—abruptly or gradual cessation?
I’ve been on clopidogrel (Plavix) for one year after a drug eluting stent was placed in my significantly blocked LAD (aka widow maker artery) 2/23. I’m wondering if the following is true or not, and what your experience has been with stopping clopidogrel safely—abruptly or gradual cessation? Because

Back Again
Hello everyone, sorry in advance for the mammoth post. I was last on this forum about 7-8 years ago in 2015/2016 after my previous symptom free asthma flared up badly and left me very sick (back on inhalers, steroids, and multiple hospital admissions). We managed to get my asthma back under control

Like many others I guess I am in a quandary about having my Spring booster. I started taking 20mg prednisolone in November 2022, reduced to 15mg after one week, then gradually down to 10mg where I stayed for most of a year. I am now on 8.5mg. Am I immuno-suppressed on this dose? My immune system is
