Follow ups at local hospital after stent
Hi I had a stent fitted at St Thomas' London. Its been 6 months. I've had a telephone appointment with the cardiology team since. They have now booked me a ecg at St Thomas. I was wonder if anyone has transferred their care back to their local hospital. It's a long train journey to go just for an ecg

Fluid in lungs after cabg, heart bypass
Dear All So we went for my husband's first post op appointment today. There was fluid in his lungs post operation., which was 5.5 weeks ago. He took a diuretic medication as per the doctor's prescription. Today, from the x Ray, the Dr saw that the fluid is still there. He said that he is not worried

Life Insurance
I am 40 years old and have a stent, which was fitted in 2015. I am now fit, healthy and had no issues since . Due to having a mortgage I have always had life insurance, unfortunately I have always done it for 10 year terms. My current insurance is coming to an end so looking to renew. A simple comparison

Bypass surgery chest wound blistering
I’m new here & wondering if anyone has any advice. My husband had a cabg x 5 in January and his chest wound leaked for a long time thankfully that has cleared up but 3 blisters have formed on the wound now - the District nurse thinks they will reabsorb in time. Has anyone else experienced this?

Running Fitness post angiogram
Hello. Two weeks ago I was half way through a marathon training schedule, as I have been for the last 12 years during Feb/March. However, I had to have an angiogram last week because of intermittent chest pain and “potential” stenosis revealed on a CT scan. No stent was needed as the flow was 97%. For

Post Angioplasty upper arm pain
I wonder if anyone else has experienced this sort of pain in the upper part of the arm. I am 6 weeks post procedure and I have seen the Cardiac rehab Nurse who said it could be nerve damage. I don't want to bother the GP if it's going to settle down but it's not improving. It's painful when I try to

Post angioplasty 'angina attack' - confused.

Change in Taste
Hi all Had a heart attack earlier this year and a stent was fitted. Has anyone experienced a change in their sense of taste? I get a sweet and metalic taste and its difficult to eat anything I eat doesnt taste very pleasant. I assume it is related to the medications I have been taking?

Fatigue and meds
Hi all, I had a heart attack in 2020, given balloon angioplasty and a stent, since then been on a morning dose of bisoprolol 1.25mg. I suffer very bad sleep patterns and fatigue, I read here some take it at different times yet my prescription just says "daily". Is it safe to try an evening slot? My other

Husband ignoring advice
My husband found out he needs a stent 3 weeks ago, he is due to have surgery at the end of March. He already has type 2 diabetes and gout both diagnosed 5 years ago, and is obese. He typically wants medication to manage his conditions and refuses to change his lifestyle of unhealthy eating and drinking

Just to say I'm not going anywhere!!
Hi all, I've seen a few posts on here from people saying that they are leaving due to posts they don't agree with, I wonder how these folk cope in "real life" with people whose views on life differ from theirs? I've only been a member for 5 months, I joined in a panic one night to express my feelings
