Stopping Statins
hi guys after a year last year, of frightening chest pains and ? Heart attacks, going through umpteen tests and a stent procedure ( they didn’t put one in as my heart disease was not significant enough). I went from being on 5 daily meds for my heart to then being discharged completely with just taking

First post. LVT recovery and exercise
Hi all, been reading posts for the last few weeks and now plucking up courage to post myself. I had a HA on Xmas day while half way on a 30 mile ride. Hindsight says I shouldn’t have ridden home but I did, silly boy! Troponin of 4K+ suggests a bad one and ended up with one stent and, 2 weeks later,

Confused about reliability of visual fields tests results
Hello everyone,I'm feeling confused about how visual fields tests relate to real life experience of visual changes. I'm wondering how to communicate with consultants etc if what I experience, and what their tests say, don't match up. Today at my glaucoma clinic appointment I did a visual fields test

scaredycat!
Hi everyone my consultant is wanting me to have a cataract and stent op to bring my pressures down but iam terrified of being awake for any eye op. I actually asked him if he could put me to sleep and do it!!How does anyone get over this fear and anxiety. Have thought of nothing else for weeks. Surely

Views on running after CABG?
I suppose this is a addressed to people who used to run before their operation.I used to run and I wasn't very good.Pre op on a treadmill I could run at 5mph, or twelve minute mile pace, if I veered over this I might have chest discomfort and had to take a rest.I was warned not to exert myself but felt

Stents AFTER Bypass Surgery and fully occluded LAD.
On Wednesday I'm having multiple Stents in my LAD, Circumflex and RCA after my triple bypass in Sept failed. My LAD is chronically occluded and my consultant has said he will try his best to stent it. Fortunately, the blockage is lower down the artery which is why I haven't (praise God, as yet) had a

Struggling after heart attack and covid
Had a heart attack In September, did not have a stent inserted as hospital said that due to the ambulance taking 5 hours to arrive it was too late for treatment. Was recovering and getting stronger but then my husband caught covid and gave it to me. No longer testing positive but it is 2 weeks now

GTN Spray or tablets?...
Hi. I'm due to go away for 3 months to a very hot area without Aircon or refrigeration. I not on my GTN spray it has a temperature storage range and I'll not be able to meet that range - it will be too hot. Would I be better off with tablets? Incidentally I've not had to use the spray once since a stent

Post angioplasty severe pain in side
Hi everyone. So I had my second angioplasty on Monday, the procedure went well from the cardiologists point of view and I have had another stent fitted right next to my first one - they are overlapping. From my point of view however, when he went in my groin it really hurt - I've not had that before

Small lump at radial artery site for stent catheter
I have a stent fitted last Friday and I have just noticed a small lump with a pulse near the entry site for the catheter in wrist. Is this a normal thing and do it require any treatment ? or will it go away on its own.

Post Cabg how soon do you think i can i lie on my side?
i asked the physiological this when i was still in and she said when i liked.To start with even slight movement was unthinkable,I lay and slept absolutely still.I would dream i was stretching and wake up with my arms braced. I've been lucky because i am fairly content on a pillow slope and laying stock

Gabapentin
Hi everyone. Does anyone have experience with gabapentin for anxiety and depression? Some background. My Father passed away in March 2022, which left me devastated. I was then diagnosed with a heart condition requiring a stent. Since then I have really been struggling. I used to be very fit and active

Orbita trial.
Well have a date (2nd March) to find out if I had a stent as part of this trial. It's been an interesting few weeks lately as have had an orthopaedic appointment ( for knee) and the colonoscopy and haven't been able to say whether I have a stent or not, at least I will know now.

That chest pain for years and years really was something after all!
Do you have unresolved, mystery chest pain? After years of going to the doctor, cardiologist, and ER with chest pain and having the doctors sort of patiently put up with me and tell me the tests didn’t show much—even putting me on blood pressure meds in order to do something for me (even though I didn

Stents AFTER failed CABG
Had stents fitted on Wednesday. Got home last night after a stay in CCU overnight. I was told at the time the surgeon managed to stent all three arteries (even the fully blocked one with 2 long stents, yayy!) Now I'm home and read the discharge letter it says one balloon to one artery and stents in the
