Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)
Morning all, Four years ago I had PAD in my right leg. As the surgeon found crystalline deposits when attempting to fit a stent it was not possible to treat it that way and I had a bypass operation instead. Since then I have not felt a single pain in that leg But now I am having the same problem in

Cleveland Clinic - Update
So I took the option of going out of area to The Cleveland Clinic in London for my angiogram that I had been pushing for a year, as I knew something was wrong, although the general opinion was that I was fine and I was beginning to think that I was imagining it. If you feel something is wrong don't give

Hi. My husband had a heart attack just over a year ago., with one stent fitted. Had a few ups and downs in the first 6 months, but the last few months he has been feeling really good mentally and physically, and is fitter than he’s ever been. However he had a routine echo a month ago the results of which

cholesterol monitor/candy statins!

3 years post STEMI and CA but I have an odd question
Hi everyone, Just a random question from me before I try to get a GP appointment. Over the last few weeks I’ve been getting what I can only describe as a lack of sensation in both my hands while running. All of my fingers go white, and it’s a feeling you get just before pins and needles, so a slight

Unexplained severe pains after heart attack & stent 4 wks ago
Hi, Looking for others that may have the same pain as I do! I'm a 48yr old female that had escalating symptoms (exhaustion, light headedness, hypertension) for 6 months before my heart attack. I had one stent fitted. My heart attack presented strangely apparently - I had most of the pain in my left

Pitting on Weight after CABG
Hi all, Fairly new to this and I got an amazing response to my first post. My question this time around is two fold, did anyone have trouble putting on weight after cabg surgery . I am sure the anxiety I have is the culprit but any experiences are welcome. Thanks again.

Clopidogrel
Due to come of clopidogrel at the beginning of September, it being a year since I had my stent. Did anyone who was in the same situation just stop them completely or did they wean themselves off. I will have a week's worth of tablets left.

I recorded a podcast for the Kawasaki’s disease charity, Societi! :)
Hey guys! A few of you may know my story now, had a 2x CABG last year and they diagnosed about a year post op that the heart damage was caused by kawasaki disease. I thought you might want to listen to the podcast - only 14 mins long but it’s part of a series by doctors and other patients/parents (it

CABG recovery
Evening all, hope everyone is having a good day. Can I ask anyone who has had bypass surgery their experience of the level of pain when you come round ? I hear everything from virtually zero to the worst pain you can experience, some people saying that they wouldnt have gone through with the procedure

CABG update
I’ve been home since Wednesday evening, so 4 full days and things are ok. I’ve been walking in the garden and slowly building up stamina but it’s taking a lot out of me at the moment. To date, I’ve planned my days (moving stuff about) so that I use the stairs once in the morning to go down and once

Angina aggravated by cold air
In spite of getting a stent four weeks ago I'm still getting angina symptoms. Ever since my symptoms began last year I have noticed that they become more pronounced in cold air. For example today I took a long walk in summer sun and felt fine. Tonight I walked again in colder air and the symptoms reappeared
