Once again I'm praising the NHS
I had a HA and angioplasty four months ago and apart from a couple of hiccups life has been good. I've suffered from indigestion pains since the angioplasty, yesterday I could feel them above and below my heart as well as across my shoulders......this morning the pains were still in the same area, it

Has anyone had to give up work because of their heart issues?
Hi all, I have chronic angina and had a stent fitted 6 months ago. I have a very stressful job that gives me palpitations and chest pains. I'm thinking of stopping working but not sure about benefits ( I'm 52 and never been out of work) I know PIP is nigh on impossible to claim but I really can't carry

Slightly breathless and lightheaded
Hi I had an an angioplasty with a stent inserted to my LAD artery on 26 October 21. I had only had 2 episodes of what my cardiologist now thinks was angina and I also had burning pain lower neck/upper chest when walking fast. Since the angioplasty I find I'm more tired and find breathing harder when

Stenting my left Circumflex artery was unsuccessful
They were unable to stent my left circumflex artery via angioplasty 2 days ago. They would like to retry to drill out the plaque and then try stenting. How safe is this procedure?

How often are meds reviewed by GP or Cardiologist.
I have been on the same medication since Feb 2020, never the doses or my case reviewed with the exception of an appointment with a Cardiologist in July 2020. Dealing with my GP surgery and getting any response from them is hard work, however and before contacting them I wanted to check with others how

Hello
My twin brother had a heart attack at the weekend, he had 2 stent procedures and is now home. It has scared him and everyone in the family. From being 'fit', to feeling fragile and stunned, little overwhelmed by recovery ahead, looking to see if this community can provide some support, advice etc..

Finally had a face to face with my cardiologist
Yesterday after a long frustrating wait, I finally got a face to face meeting with my cardiologist I also took my wife to try and get through to the cardiologist how bad my issues are and how much it is affecting my day to day life. Got to say it was hard work due to her being so dismissive of things

NI Chest Heart and Stroke 5k
So,signed up yesterday for a 5k walk at Stormont at end of February . After my heart attack in April last year it amazed me how dr's can go through your wrist and insert a little metal stent into an artery to keep you alive!! Also my son has a bicuspid aortic valve which will probably need replaced

Help
I have recently been diagnosed with angina. I have artery disease ( 50-65% stenosis on LAD but my cardiologist says I don`t need a stent as my symptoms are being managed with various drugs including nitrates and statins. Is that a situation that other angina sufferers find themselves in?
