incredibly lucky
I feel so incredibly lucky after reading some of your stories. I had a HA 5 yrs ago, was told that if someone has to have a HA they would want one like yours? It was explained to me that it was on the right side and very low down?? I stayed overnight in hospital and the first time I saw a consultant

Flu Jab and Heart Failure
Hi All, New on here, just wondering whether anyone has had the flu jab after being diagnosed with Heart Failure? I have an Ejection Fraction between 30%-35%. I had 1 stent in the LAD in July. Had angina as well. Is it advisable to have the flu jab?

was on clopidogrel for 7 years following stent with metoprolol for irregular heartbeat AF. I had no side effects at all. Had a angiogram back in March to check stent etc., Last month suddenly without talking to me, no information was exchanged and meds were changed to Apixaban, bisoprolol and Famotidine

Health Update
So I had the mammogram and ultrasound. Imaging shows a 2cm lump stuck to the breast. The consultant says it is cancer and will be confirmed by the biopsy. Lucky it's caught early and doesn't look like it's spread to the lymph nodes. The plan is breast conservation therapy. A lumpectomy and radiotherapy

Stent progression
Morning, I posted on here 3 months ago since my LAD Stent. Progression as been great. I'm back to running and last month cycled 250 bike packing miles in France solo. Building my heart rate back up to my normal 170 BPM while running. 150 BPM cycling for short periods only. To note I didn't have

Docetaxel only partially successful
I had a full body MRI scan this week at Royal Marsden in London. The purpose was to assess the effectiveness of docetaxel after 3 infusions. The results have been very disappointing, and I'm struggling to keep a sense of perspective - not least because I was feeling so good, and had seen all of my previous

PET scan microvascular disease
Just seen a private cardiologist regarding ongoing chest pain following NSTEMI 6 months ago. Successful stent and no other main artery blockages. Now considering microvascular angina. Anyone know anything about PET scans for that? Sounds expensive and wondering if NHS do this?

huge anxiety a week after stent
I’m young-ish… 46 and had a heart attack 13 days ago and had a stent put in 10 days ago. recovery has been going pretty good with yesterday being a great day where it was the best I’d felt since the heart attack. today though… not so much. Constant underlying anxiety, which for me is awful because

Left arm aching after stent
I'm 52, and had a stent just over 2 weeks ago after an NSTEMI heart attack (stent inserted through the arm). Been having heart palpitations and aching in my left arm on and off since then. Arm ache goes in waves throughout the day, fine for a few hours, then comes on for a few minutes, then goes away

Second Stent
So in 2019 I had a stent after HA. Now four years later getting tightness cross chest, can still walk up 3 steps of stairs ok. Once I stop out walking it settles down again. I’m also asthmatic. My question is has any had a second stent that resolved this. I take glycerin spray once a month. thanks

Ureteral cytosis
Started Jevtana in August hoping for more moderate side effects and efficacy than I'd had with three prior rounds of Docetaxel. First Jevtana round was without carboplatin. Second Jevtana round had carboplatin included. Hematuria got a bit more severe and then two weeks into the three-week cycle, I

Heart attack on 2nd Sept.
Hi everyone, new to all this. I'm 52, reasonably fit & I thought healthy. Gym user & regularly walk. I had a heart attack at the gym on Sept 2nd, blue lighted straight to cardio and stent fitted by lunchtime. I'm trying to follow the rehab rules but probably overdid it a couple of weeks ago resulting

Got some cholesterol readings, I don’t quite understand them.
Hi all, I had a blood test this week for liver function and the results included a cholesterol read out. The GP surgery sent me a text to say all the readings were normal. Trouble is I’m 4 months or so post quadruple CABG following Nstemi heart attack in July, am I considered normal on the same scale
