Leg Problems after CABG / Saphenous Vein Harvested
Hi, I had a CABG x 3 about 18 months back (June 2022). During the ops my left saphenous vein was harvested. I had a stroke in the recovery room, however my question is to other folk that have had CABG and vein removal. Do you have any complications with your leg, loss of feeling, feeling heavy,

Interruption to radiation due to other health issue; will it impact efficacy?
Has anyone here had an interruption to their radiation from another health event? Did you just pick back up on the radiation treatment as planned or did you break for a while and start all over again? My dad was on day 9 of 20 rounds of radiation and he had a heart attack and needed a stent. He had

Perspiring profusely
Does anybody else suffer with profuse sweating and dull pain in the chest. I started my heart journey in Spain needing stents fitted one year later I was rushed into hospital again with a heart attack where one of my stents in the LAD failed and caused a blood clot. I then moved back to UK as my understanding

The mind of an alcoholic
Hi all I am an alcoholic, I have liver cirrhosis and a TIPS stent and want to get sober…went to hospital to try and get a detox last Sunday, waited 12 hrs in A&E and they said the NHS do no have the funding or recognise alcoholism as an illness. I wanted to detox so I could go to AA meetings It’s

Insomnia (boo!)
Common problem with the meds, I know. But 6 weeks after my stent was inserted ("cardiac incident") and I can't grab more than four hours uninterrupted. What meds will the doc put me on to get some sleep? I read regular sleeping pills are risky for heart patients. Any Intel? Thanks in advance! 👍

Stent in trunk coronary artery
Hi - has anyone had a blockage in this artery? I was in Spain when I had my HA and the Cardiologist tried to explain but the language barrier got in the way. The final report was in Spanish too.

Invited for my unmentionable this week, feeling unexpectedly anxious, advice needed!
I'm not anti-V but I unexpectedly feel anxious about getting my boo-ster this week after my heart attack & stent last month. I'm 48, female & have a healthy, active lifestyle so for me, my heart attack came out of nowhere. Now I'm on 7 drugs every day, with a blooming GTN spray I'm having to use a couple

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

Angioplasty
So I had my angiogram today. Told doctor I had read up on PCI v medical therapy and the fact there’s no difference in outcome - so I don’t want a stent unless it’s absolutely necessary. Anyway, angiogram showed 90% stenosis of the LAD (proximal). When Dr showed me how much vessel would be cut off if

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
