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

How many days can I miss my Ticagrelor, 2 months after HA & stent?
My cardiologist has changed my prescription from ticagrelor to something else (I think he said clopidogrel). Unfortunately between delays his end & now delays at the GP surgery the pharmacist still hasn't had the prescription. I've got one day left of my ticagrelor and I've left messages with the GP

Weakness after radiation
Hello! I am here for Dad. He just completed twenty rounds of radiation.. but not without complications. He had several bouts of extreme afib, heart attack, and low platelets. Since having another stent, new AFib meds, and two units of blood he has completed radiation but it's still so very weak. He's

Sternum discomfort
I had a CABG x 3 in July and am recovering well. My main problem is the discomfort/pain where my sternum was wired up. The main problem is at the bottom of my scar. I have lost weight so not much padding, I wondered if this will get better as time goes on. It is uncomfortable mostly when trying to

Chest wall pain
I am 6 months post NSTEMI and one stent. Generally functioning and walking lots but have near constant chest discomfort, not sure I would call it pain as such. It is nothing to do with exertion. In fact it tends to go away if I walk or run. Also goes away after a bath or if very relaxed. I am feeling

Mystified and baffled.
New to this thought my breathlessness was to do with my heart after having a stent fitted 2yrs ago or even the meds in on.I had lung function tests in July results are now back as I can't get to see my g.p.yet does anyone know what these results mean. Hospital advise inhalers and rehab. Obstructive lung

Long-term health of bypass grafts.
Hi, Feel slightly fraudulent as I’m fit and healthy, after a bypass in 2016, but I’m just curious for any insights / opinions re one niggling question. I do fairly intense cardio every other day (mostly) and my BMI’s at the top end of normal. For my age - 61 - I’m fairly fit. My question is: do those

One year on
Hey everyone I've had a bit of a social media break. I hope you are all okay Yesterday (30/09) marked a year since my heart attack. I can't believe it's been a year. Since then I've had a Cardiac Arrest and a stent fitted plus a case of pneumonia and I've started running again and I'm back at work (

Hello all, About 18 months ago I had a stent fitted - didn’t have a heart attack - but every so often I have chest discomfort, like now. I vape quite a lot (ex-smoker). I’m pretty sure that my current bout of discomfort isn’t heart related but my mind is going bonkers and now I don’t know whether I
