immune system
Hi guys Hope you are all having a good day. I'm 9 months post stent. Still haven't completely sorted my head out, but im getting there. Just thinking as i'm sitting here with man flu, is there any data that suggests that the post heart attack medication can affect our immune systems.

Statins
Morning All, Following a stent in March 2023 I have been put on 80mg Astrovastatin among other meds. In the last 4 months I’ve had muscle pains in my left arm and between my shoulder blades when lifting even the lightest things. Sometimes really quite painful. Following some unsuccessful physio I’

What happens after heart attack

pulse
had stent fitted last week . Have been on blood thinners and statin since , but wasn’t told to carry on with beta blockers or nitrate tabs . My pulse at the moment is only 59 which is low ish for me without beta blockers . Does this mean the stents not working properly ?

Drinking alcohol
I'm going on a cruise and my other half wants to get the drinks package.But I suffer from microvascular angina and had a stent fitted 4 years ago. I'm on heart meds/statins. My question is should I be drinking for 14 days . I do drink but about once a week . To break even I would have to have at least

Reliance on Codeine
Following CABG five weeks ago I still have a lot of pain in my left leg where the vein was removed. I manage this through 2 paracetamol 4 times a day and 1 codeine tablet twice a day, having just reduced from 2 codeine tablets twice a day. This keeps me just on top of the pain. I'm wondering how

left arm tingle is confusing me
hello, The top, rear, of my left arm has been tingling for about a week now. I had a stent fitted a few years ago and I’ve since given up smoking and I run 4 times a week. However, I’m always worried when it comes to any “symtoms” that could be heart related. Should I go to the hospital?

lump in throat
hi everyone. I am a woman in my early 50s. I had a heart event two weeks ago. I was admitted to hospital where I was discovered to have a fast heartbeat, and also an irregular heartbeat and a blocked artery - following the event I have had a stent in this artery. I had noticed over the last few months

heart bypass graph
I’m still on the virtual ward. It’s been 3 weeks now. I’m waiting for a bypass graph. Has anybody been on a virtual ward and how long where you on it . I still got no news of my bypass graph. I’m just wondering how long people have had to wait for theirs. I’ve got a 99 per cent blockage in my left artery

Feeling rough
I had a MI in March last year and had 1 x stent several days later. Since then I've had various problems with the medication that I was given with mainly fatigue, so my medication was tweaked for several months after. I am now on the dosages I was originally put on and have been for a while and felt

It's my turn now....
I've been on the waiting list since November '23 and now this afternoon I am being admitted to hospital for a CABG x5 tomorrow (12th April) - hopefully no last minute cancellation. Had a heart attack and stents back in 2019 and was blue lighted into hospital so no time to think about what was happening

Dentists
Hi everyone-I am due to have CABG July/August. I have a routing check up at dentist this month. I have read somewhere of a link between teeth/gums and heart disease. What are the risks, if any? Is there any chance of dental treatment delaying the heart operation? Thanks
