Tingling after stent put in
Hi, I had a stent fitted 2 days ago and since last night I have had discomfort in my left shoulder and a sort of numb slightly tingly feeling in my arms and across my shoulders. Could this be to do with all the meds I am taking, or just the trauma and my body adjusting. I’ve got no chest discomfort but

Why am I still classed ss having heart desease?
I had one stent fitted 23 years ago. Since then I have climbed some of the most difficult mountains in the UK. I've completed 6 half marathons. Go on walking holidays twice each year. I continued going to the gym twice a week until I was 70 (I'm now 75). The only reason I stopped going to the gym was

The main underlying health condition in men under 65 dying from coronavirus is ischmaetic heart disease.
I have just read an analysis published in the Daily Mail online about underlying health conditions and mortality in covid 19 patients in the UK. For men under 65 the main condition was ischmaetic heart disease. Just wondered if anyone aged under 65 and male and had a bypass or stent had received a shielding

.? Endocarditis
9 months ago I had a new aortic valve and a single cabg where the mammary artery was used. Recovery was a bit eventful, back with my cardiologist now, who did a telephone conversation with me about 2 weeks ago. One concern I have, I’m female by the way, the left breast towards the inside I get like toothache

Feeling abandoned
I had a heart attack on 20th march just as the covid 19 epidemic blew up. I was in hospital for 5 days but didn't need a stent. I was discharged as having an nstemi and sent home with a big bag of pills and a wave. Now I know everything was in a state of flux and noone really knew what was happening

New here, advice needed...
My 53 year husband had a heart attack in November and had 2 stents fitted. An admin omission led to no referral for any follow up or rehab care. His referrals have also been "lost" twice since then so as a result he is still waiting for a further stent to be fitted. We were relieved to have a date later

why am I still sometimes light headed and unsure when walking (so far between 50 and 300 yards most days)
Seven weeks post op (new mitral, new aortic, mended tricuspid and cabg -lad) I'm still feeling jelly legs. How can I make more progress? Reasurance please friends! I will get better won't I?? I quiteunderstand and support the cardio nurse moving elsewhere but a phone call can only do so much

Hi - I am new to the forum, I had a HA 5 weeks ago out of the blue (42, fit, moderately healthy lifestyle, non smoker and no family history). I had 4 stents fitted in a lower marginal artery... pardon my ignorance on the terminology, in simple terms and from the images I was shown I had a blockage

Message For Boris
Hi Boris Just to let you know You will never forget the Names of the Nurses who cared for you. I am almost 5 years post CABG and I can still picture Kerri Ann a young Australian CC Nurse who looked after me when I was rather poorly after the operation. Every time I came round Kerri Ann was there taking

Sharp stabbing pains after HA
Hi everyone It’s been nearly 4 weeks since my HA and stent in RCA. I seem to be recovering ok (apart from the anxiety we all go through) but I am getting occasional sharp pains (lasts a second) in my chest particularly if I am exercising. No other symptoms. Does anyone else experience the same?? Any
