angioplasty
I am 66 I am going for an angioplasty on the 27th November with the possibility of a stent in LAD. Very nervous. I have had LBBB since in my early 30’s so always got a slight tight chest on hills, i had an angiogram in 2012 and an MRI I was put on Bisoprolol, statins and ramipril after this. Dosage reduced

Angioplasty Renal Artery Stenosis
I am 59 years old, CKD stage 4, eGFR 20, single kidney with renal artery stenosis and resistant hypertension. I had an angioplasty in 1983 which succeeded in lowering blood pressure somewhat and a further angioplasty in 1991 where they believed it did not change much. Thinking since then has been that

Having a STEMI in mid 40's...the search for underlying causes / answers for premature CHD.
Hi Everyone, My husband had a major STEMI in March 2023 with a full blockage of his circumflex artery. He was 44 years old and playing 5-a-side football in a local sports centre when he collapsed without warning. Thank goodness it happened there of all places however, as the swift actions of his team

Ramipril Or Reflux - Unsure What Is Causing My Cough
Hi I had a heart attack followed by an angioplasty last month, and I am on the meds listed at the end of this message. In general terms I feel really good since the stent was fitted, and five weeks in I’m walking as much as I used to, but am still taking it easy in terms of strenuous activity. Have

Back after 5 years? Update!!
Miracles can happen (if you make them) Some weeks ago I posted this below. I have now completed, W7 R2 and twice exceeded the 'run' up to 30 mins. Don't get me wrong, it is very uncomfortable, but if you are determined enough, and ok in the knowledge that going slow will get me there, I will complete

Is My Resting Heart Rate Too Low?
Hi First time poster here. I am 62 had an angioplasty following a heart attack last month, with a single stent being fitted. I was reasonably fit through walking beforehand, and have been enjoying daily walks since the procedure, gradually building up my range on the flat, so I am very pleased at what

What really happened?
Apologies in advance for this ramble on something which is probably not a very comfortable topic on this forum but it's something I have been wondering about for some time and I just thought I'd ask you guys for any thoughts you may have. In August 2022 I had an angiogram which didn't go well and resulted

Dapagliflozin side effects
I had a heart attack and stent fitted over Christmas 2022 and have been on a cocktail of drugs since then but feel in good health. I went for a follow up angioplasty a couple of months ago and it was found that the heart attack had caused permanent damage to my heart (apparently now only 30% efficient

Ticagrelor bruising
I am 5 months post HA and stent. Came home very bruised from the angioplasty. That cleared up well but have had all sorts of random bruising since then. They just appear each morning from nowhere, no apparent injury or even a minor knock. Was accepting it but they seem to be getting worse the last few

At Rock bottom
So.. I’ve reached 50, I started Peri menopause a few years ago now. The beginning of last year I was really struggling to remember things, my mental health was awful, my periods all over the place but when they came I was literally flooding and some days unable to leave the house as it was so bad.

Can azathioprine cause chest pains?
Hi, I have been on azathioprine tablets mostly 75mg to 100mg for my Lupus for approximately 20 years. Have been experiencing chest pains on my left side especially after excretion. I had various tests and scans but they are all negative. I had Covid last September and had to stop taking the azathioprine

Might have asked this before…..
So, I’m 56 yo now, and had an interesting experience about 7 years ago where I had two angiograms and a partial angioplasty, where I had a severe reaction to the contrast dye. I still had issues and as a result I had a CABG in 2016. Since then, I’ve had tablets because I’ve struggled with hills and

Scared
I had a severe heart attack on Sunday 24thbkine 2024, I’m 33. This has stemmed from an undiagnosed hereditary condition. I have had a stent fitted less than 24 hours ago. I was discharged from hospital today. I feel like I’m grieving and I don’t know why. I’m crying so much on my own, I have a supportive

Or lessen...can't hear it during the day as background noise drowns this out,but night time is frustrating...thanks

Angiogram
Good morning everyone firstpost. I have just had an angiogram I now have two narrowed arteries pressure wire test ok, the consultant was rushing between cath labs and said I have reversible ischemia?? Not sure what that means. I would have had a stent if pressure wire test failed. Any insights are welcome
