Waiting for CABG
I am a 63 year old female waiting for CABG x 2. Have been following posts for a few weeks now but have never been brave enough to introduce myself. I had a heart attack in 2018 followed by one stent. Family history of heart attacks. Attended cardiac rehab and have continued to follow advice to the letter

Slow recovery and set backs after angiogram and stent
I had an angiogram and stent inserted in late July after three weeks of angina. It was diagnosed as uncontrolled angina, it came on rapidly over three weeks and got worse very quickly. I suspected that is what it was and was happy with what was done and how quickly they did it, arrived 10am, stent inserted

Angiogram/Angioplasty
Hi I am having an Angiogram/Angioplasty on the 22nd of September and have my pre-op on the 18th, what is the normal recovery from this procedure if nothing is actually carried out after looking through the arteries and recovery if a stent or anything is done? I am currently doing the BHF 10,000 steps

Hi All, I out of absolutely nowhere got told I had had a Heart Attack following what I thought would be a routine blood test and a day that started 5weeks ago to meet my friend in the pub for the usual Quiz night ended with me being told I had quite severe CAD and required an urgent triple CABG.

My last 4 months
On Friday 28th April I had a major heart attack in front of my husband and daughter, They thought I was over reacting until my daughter rang 999. They advised her that I was having a heart attack and advised her where the local defib was. 999 could not get a crew out to me for 90mins. They took me to

What do constitutes heart failure?
If you have a stent inserted. Does this mean I have what is called heart failure. My specialist has never used these words but now I’m wondering. So what exactly does heart failure mean?

When to start exercise?
Caveat: I understand I am not asking for or receiving medical advice. Simply canvassing opinion from those with similar experience etc. I had a stent inserted a month ago. It wasn't a planned procedure. I haven't been contacted by NHS cardiac rehab for my initial assessment yet. This could take some

My ex husband had a triple by-pass and not very long afterwards a major stroke. He survived for another 10 years but lost the use of his left side. Had no idea at the time that apparently it is an associated risk. He had high blood pressure but would not get treatment for it so I think this must have

Can coughing irritate a new stent & how bad should chest pain be before I use GTN?
Hello, I've got couple of questions - I know pain is subjective but thought I'd ask anyway! It's about 6wks since my HA & stent. The first few weeks after leaving hospital were tricky, with a few random severe pain events that had me whisked into hospital, despite my protestations, and are now

NHS Stent Treatment
Hi all, At the beginning of August I had the trabeculoplasty treatment. Unfortunately that never worked and my pressure is still really high they are now talking about doing another treatment asap. It’s something to do with putting a stent in my eye and it should help open the drainage and
