Short of breath.
Hi all, haven't posted for a long time but read posts most days. Had a HA and 1 stent fitted 3 years ago and on the usual tablets no problem. In the last 2 weeks when I am about to nod off I feel as if I'm going to stop breathing and wake up and it's very scary,and try to sleep with more pillows sitting

Cocodamol
Hi there,I had a heart attack (congested arteries) and a stent fitted last year. On the usual cocktail of meds. My back has started playing up and at night I find that if I take two OTC cocodamol it can help me sleep. Is this permitted? I know I can't take NSAIDs but not sure about cocodamol. Paracetamol

anxious and tearful
had stent fitted back in January . Was doing really well . Felt I was getting fitter and less paranoid about things going wrong . Sunday I had quite a bad ache in my right arm , that lasted most of the day . Strange as when I had my angina pre stent it was always the left arm ? Last night and early hours

sleeping position after mid LAD stent
This is probably a silly question, but should we be sleeping on our backs only after having a stent in our LAD? I prefer sleeping on my sides but read somewhere that side sleeping puts pressures on the heart and is not recommended.

Next Steps
So in chatting with my GP he advised that the next step is for the cardio rehab nurse to discharge me to him. He said then they will see me in 12 months. Is this the norm after having STEMI and stent 7 weeks ago?

chest pains
I had a stent in my LDA 4 years ago. Over the last 2 years I have had intermittent chest discomfort symptoms which tie up with unstable angina, although nitro spray doesn't help. 2 years ago had a myocardial perfusion scan which showed good blood flow to the heart. Still getting the discomfort, though

heart attack
I had a heart attack twelve months ago and had a 4.5 cm stent fitted to LAD. All test are clear but still get pain sometimes - consultant has told me that I have blockages in minor arteries that will cause angina pain but not serious. Is anyone else in this position? thanks Richard ❤️🩹

no stent-tortuos artery
Hi all who replied. I did have angiogram, apparently the LAD is 65-70%, then another part 74%, BUT it is what they call a tortuous artery, really curved and twisted, looked like a country lane on the angio, with corners! So apparently difficult to stent and made the decision not to and treat with meds

Heart attack
When I add my heart attack, I also add 2 cardiac arrests while they was fitting a stent. Now I have been diagnosed with ischeamic heart disease. I was wondering if anyone knows how much damage cardiac arrests cause to your heart

Hi all Anybody else have these. They’ve appeared on both legs. Up past the knee on one leg. Kim 14 months post stent. I’m on Omeprazole, asprin, Bisoprolol, prasugrel and Atorvastatin. I’m going to try and get an appointment with the gap tomorrow.

Heart Attack- 1 year review of medication
Good Morning, It will be coming up to a year soon of having my HA & Stent fitting. I will get a review of all medication I currently take, I would like not to be on any! But I feel anxiety of coming off them and having another HA. I guess this is normal. I’m just looking for any advice or your experience

Numb hands
After my sHA and stent I now wake up with numb hands, almost like pins and needles. I mostly wake on my back so it's not from lying on them. It goes away after a few minutes of being awake. I wondered if anyone else has experienced this. Ta 😀
