Reason for losing weight
Hi There It is now 5 weeks since my HA, angiogram, and 1 stent, and am doing well, in fact, back to normal. I am still tweaking my diet to make sure my intake is healthy and I only have one query. I have lost about 5lbs in weight, and I put this down to a couple of things, right or wrongly. I have

Reopening blocked artery
5 years after a quad CABG one of my vein grafts is failing and has not reacted well to stenting. The plan is now to reopen one of my blocked arteries in a procedure called Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (cto pci). I just wondered whether anyone has had experience of this procedure

Statins and leg cramps/ pain
I was put on 80mg Atorvastatin after having Angioplasty but because of severe leg cramps and discomfort, after 8 months I have been prescribed 40mg of Simvastatin statins. I am now getting a lot of discomfort in my legs at night, sometimes a kind of burning sensation and aches. Has anyone tried another

Second stent operation.
Hi all So I had my second stent put it. This one was more difficult as the artery was blocked. Three hours it took to do but I am very happy with the results. Obviously the area is sore as the stent is settling but with you lovely people on this forum I am much more relaxed and ready to recover. Once

Train travel
I’m 6 months post 3x CABG and have just done a long train journey to visit my daughters. I’ve recovered so well from the surgery that I thought ‘I can do this’. At Crewe, due to delay with 1st train, I had 4 minutes to catch my next train, no time to wait for the lift, so I legged it up and over the

Hellish night
Recently moved from Kent to Peak District to be near family. Suitable hospitals are not near though!! Have CHD and stent and arrhythmia which, according to one cardio may become AF. After 2 hours of erratic heartbeat phoned 111 and got the advice I knew I would, as it wasn’t the first time, get to

Joint Pains
Hi all. I had a HA last year and a stent sorted the problem but they found a historic total blockage which required more work and this was undertaken in June this year.

CABG Off Pump Lungs
I am due a double CABG next month (Happy New Year?!). It is Off Pump so my heart won't stop (hopefully). But.... what happens to my lungs, do they keep going?

Uric Acid stones
Chuck just had two kidney stones removed (one 17 mm and one 6 mm) and a stent inserted. Just got back the results and they are uric acid stones. Just read what can cause them on the dietary spectrum but wanted to find out if anyone else has had these on Xtandi, Eligard or Zometa? He’s had one before

Excessive menstrual bleeding
Hi, I'm new here after discovering I had a tight stenosis of my LAD artery last month. A big shock at 46. I had a stent inserted on 26/10/21 and am now on aspirin for life and Clopidogrel for 6 months. My last period was awful - on day 2, I leaked through super plus tampons and a sanitary towel plus

Slightly raised D-dimer post stent !!
3 weeks post stent I have a letter asking me to go for a CT Angiogram pulmonary this Sunday. I am somewhat surprised as the discharging doctor did not mention any of this, there is nothing on my discharge sheet and my GP knows nothing about it. The only hint was in the morning after my stent was fitted

Is it normal after HA & stent to still have intermittent discomfort in chest 4 months after the event?
Stemi, cardiac arrest, stent 4 months ago then was in persistent AFib until 2 weeks ago when had a cardio version. All other arteries in good nick. Don’t smoke not obese. 59yrs. From the event I’ve had stretching heaviness discomfort at times in the left side of chest. Comes and goes often fleeting.
