Angiogram and possible second Stent and Stress test coming up
Firstly thanks to those who replied to my first post about my nuasea it is improving and on a good day I have no symptoms. Firstly when I had my HA on the 12th July they fitted one stent but noticed the left side was showing some narrowing and I think they put a balloon to widen it with a possible stent

Does anybody here take Isosorbide Mononitrate 60 mg twice a day ?
Had a 3 X CABG 7 years ago, I’m now a 64 years old, male. Everything since then has been fine, until recently, as I've now started to get angina attacks in the early mornings whilst asleep, and if I exert myself (like walking to the shops). I had to go to A&E when using my GTN spray did not work on

New and Overwhelmed!
Morning. My husband had a heart attack last week, followed by angiogram and single stent this week. He is now home from hospital and I feel utterly terrified at the responsibilty of supporting him through his recovery, I quite liked him being wired up to a monitor 24 hours a day! I just want to ask

Heart attack and smoking.....
Hi all, My husband had a sudden heart attack on Sunday evening and was rushed into hospital and had a stent fitted. Luckily he seems pretty normal and is back home recovering. Due to how major the heart attack was,he has now been told that he has heart failure as his ejection fraction is at 25%

Hi, I recently posted as a Newbie (under the name Sailorbo, which I've now discontinued as I had a previous registration with the BHF). As a quick recap, had a full Thyroidectomy last September due to Papillary Cancer. I'm not having Radioactive Iodine as I already have poor saliva and it might make
