Minor Aortic calcification and 1st Degree Heart Block
Advised by cardiologist no need to flag these on travel insurance.? Ummm not sure that's wise, no related symptoms or medication. He says this doesn't constitute aortic stenosis and heart block is benign. Have declared my CVD and stent and all medications. Don't want to over state my conditions but

Bypass next week
Hi, I am going in for a CABG (sternotomy) in 9 days time, I had a double bypass via a midcab 5 years ago which didnt fully work so here we go again. On my previous op I was discharged with large dressings which I wore for a few weeks, but reading the paperwork I have been given it says I will be discharged

Ureteral stricture after transplant with no success after attempting stent and ballooning
Hello:) I just had my third kidney transplant in December. I had multiple pre transplant day long meetings to decide the best option for me having a third transplant and it was decided my fiance would donate and we would do paired exchange as a live donor and planned transplant would be for the best

His broken heart
My husband of 42 years is very sick. He has an infection in his heart internal bleeding they cannot locate, he will be getting a double aortic bypass, and aortic valve replacement. He has uncontrollable type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s disease. He’s a terrible patient. I’m trying to help him he’s too much

Worried for my father
My father aged 58 had a widow maker heart attack in September 2020 and had initially ignored symptoms leading to delayed angioplasty by 4 days, where two stents were placed. One more stent was placed in the RCA in December 2020 after the blockage increased from 80 percent to 99 percent in just three

Should I ask for a echocardiogram?
I'm in A &E at the moment having started with short, sharp chest pains early this morning. My first lot of bloods come back ok, troponin just 6, awaiting results of second trop result. I had Nstemi, angiogram and stent fitted December last year. Pain was nothing like I had today. I've been back to A

Struggling to exercise
Hi, I had a heart attack a year ago with a stent, and had an echocardiogram a few weeks ago and just got a letter 2 days ago telling me I had basal inferior hypokinesis (whatever that is!). I had no cardiac classes just phone calls due to covid. I started exercise at home with the best of intentions

What a ride
Hello all, I've been browsing this forum recently and there's so much warmth and advice given that I'd like to share my story and hopefully receive some reassurance/advice in return.

How often should a heart condition take place.

Ciprofloxacin Horror!
I don’t know where to start. I had been taking this drug for over a year until two days ago when I stopped it myself. I was prescribed it last April while in hospital with ARLD and alcohol hepatitis. I was very poorly and since recovered from it. My first blood tests after discharge were normal but

Completely beat physically and emotionally
At the age of 45 I experienced intermittent chest pain (even when at rest), sweats, headaches and fatigue. I was sent packing from A&E as tests were normal. I saw a cardiologist privately and they found a critical blockage of my LAD. I was reassured that I was fixed with a stent and all my risks were

Holidays
I did take Clodiprogrel until a month ago but it has been over 12 months since I had an
angioplasty
and two stents fitted one in each
coronary
artery, the doctor says I have narrowing of the arteries and need to take the rest of the drugs for life. Not for now but for later.

Advanced PCa & Kidney Disease
I'm getting a CT scan soon to follow up on my ADT failure. They are concerned that there may be sign of kidney disease. It seems like it's relatively common in PCa warriors, so I'm presuming people have experience. I just checked on the kidney disease symptoms and I seem to have most of them. My onco
