Norovirus and meds
Morning hearties, I am now on day 3 of an aggressive bout of norovirus. Without being too graphic, I’ve not been able to keep anything inside, as soon as I take the meds they are back out again. I’ve been on the normal cocktail of drugs since my HA and stent 10 months ago. My heart rate has gone to

CT Angiogram
Good Morning, I'm off to have a CT scan tomorrow I've never had one of these before, I've had a few angiograms but my surgeon doesn't want me to have another one for a while. I have three stents and the last angiogram showed a small vessel that was totally blocked but was too small to stent. I'm getting

Foods to avoid after heart attack and stent fitted
Hi there. Has anyone had any advice from the cardiac team about any foods to avoid? I'm on aspirin, clopidogrel, beta blockers, BP tablets and statins. I know to avoid grapefruit juice, and recently found out about avoiding cranberry juice as well. I've also read conflicting information about avoiding

Medication changes. Trying to keep positive.
My cardiologist for the first time has deleted a couple of meds, Nicorandil 20mg twice a day and Isosorbide 120mg day. Plus swapped Metopolol 75mg twice a day to Bisoprolol 10mg daily. Just had my 5th stent, 7th angiogram. I found this one more difficult to cope with. Just because no matter what my

Is it normal to have an attack a day after having a Stent?
I had a stent fitted Tuesday and was discharged after having a heart attack on the previous Friday. I presented with jaw pain. Since my stent I have had 1 attack a day so far again with jaw pain. I have used GTN spray and it event2took the pain away. But is this usual to happen so frequently?

Healthy Lifestyle choices can significantly boost your life span post CABG
Hello Lovely People, This is my first post and I don’t even know whether I am doing this correctly. I had a Heart Attack at the age of 33 and ended up having Quintuple Cardiac Bypass Surgery. I have had a lot of anxiety since then about quality life and my life span in general. Which, I am pretty sure

How much damage can we expect
My mum had a heart attack and had two stents put in in 2006. Also with angina over a week ago she started to become breathless until 7 days later she could not talk. A GP rang an ambulance immediately. Her legs are now filled with fluid and docs have said there is significant damage to the artery walls
