A lot is all in the mind
I’ve had a stent and a bout of persistent AF in the last few months,had Cardioversion to sort the At. The Cardiologist asked me to reduce Bisoprolol,so last night was the first time I didn’t take it (just taking 3.7mg in the mornings now)I suppose I had some anxiety in the back of my mind going to bed

painkiller recommendations?
hi all, I hope everyone is okay. I’ve been struggling with chronic daily pain, I have severe endo which has caused one of my kidneys to fail and so I have a stent in my left kidney to help it drain. This contributes to my pain but it is mainly a deep ache in my hip, pelvis and abdomen which I’m sure

micro vascular angina good news!
Hi All, I hope everyone’s doing well! I was walking on the beach with my wife and suffered a crushing chest pain (worse than the pain I had had with my previous two MI’s) shortness of breath and sweating. I used my GTN spray twice but it had no effect. I was blue lighted to hospital. All test proved

”Novel” myocardial bridge surgery - article
Hello for anyone interested and / or with a MB, I came across the article below which offers up a “novel” approach to CABG surgery for extensive bridges (greater than 5mm deep I interpreted that as). this article suggests a bypass with the LIMA from the point of entry to the point of exit. There is

Advice
My daughter had a heart attack aged 32 she had to have a stent in. She is 40 now.. she hasn't felt well since November and last week she saw a doctor who sent her for a x-ray which shows her heart is enlarged, she is now waiting to see a cardiologist I Just wondered how long should she wait for a appointment

Unexplained symptoms after Heart attack
Was in Cath. lab within 1 hour where they did an
angioplasty
and found Right
Coronary
Artery completely occluded. After 2 attempts they mostly cleared the clots, and put me on Rivaroxaban, clopidogrel, aspirin, bisoprolol.

Overdue update on CAD issues
Hi All. About this time last year I had angina symptoms returning after having had a double bypass in Feb 2020. A cardiac ct scan showed one of my graphs had failed and I said I would update when I knew more.Sadly, it's taken a long while to get a diagnosis but found out today I need a stent. Not great

2nd HA Anniversary - and back to the same spot
Well that’s been an excellent day. 2nd anniversary of that bloody heart attack, and I’m back to ride that same climb up pigeon brow, all upwards of winding goat track! So had fun in the gnarly downhill single track bits, back down the Ramble del Canar, then retraced our route and off for a great Sunday

trabeculectomy
I am reluctant to have a trabeculectomy after cataract operation and I stent did not help and glasses cannot correct vision to read. My left eye is better following same operation about two years ago.

Almost 1 year after heart attack and this happened........
Hi, so last February I had a minor heart attack and had a stent fitted. It was a shock as I was only 45. I've had the odd twinge every now and then but generally things are ok. Last week I was driving in my car when I felt a sudden bout of chest pain - it was quite specifically in one area and

Fainting
Hi I’m 48 and had a heart attack, 1 stent and diagnosed with diffuse CAD in July last year. Prior to that the only symptoms I had were multiple fainting episodes and esophagus pain. I had loads of coronary tests done that all came back ok with no abnormalities. I was then discharged from cardiology

Angina symptoms
Hello All, It's good to be here. I'm a 64 year old male. Two stents, bypass, ablation for AFib, pacemaker, but ongoing angina symptoms due to arterial disease that consultants are not wanting to address initially through surgery (another stent/bubble) due to risk of compromising the bypass. What
