Insurance Renewal Costs
Hello everyone. I had a x4 CABG in June this year and am recovering very well (touch wood). I'm a seasonal ski instructor and regularly work in the Alps (Austria, Italy and Switzerland). I have professional insurance cover whilst teaching but that only covers part of the day. The rest of the day

Shortness of breath post CABG
Good Morning, I really need some advice. My mum had Quadrupled last December. Over the past 3 weeks she has been experiencing shortness of breath and some pain over shoulder, neck and arm. It's not the angina pain she was getting pre surgery and only experienced some tightness around the chest area when

Statin reaction
This may seem petty and unimportant but two years ago I had a stent fitted as I had a blockage in my LAD . Every morning I take 75m aspirin and 40g Atorvastatin. I usually take these after breakfast about 9.00 the an hour and a half later I feel spaced out. At night I take ramipril and

Ptsd after stent heart attack.
After having a heart attack in mid August, I am suffering bouts of depression, crying and the feeling I could die at any moment. In town shopping I had a quite acute chest pain and then realized my GTNspray was at home. I panicked but after a while the pain subsided and I got home Then another sharp

Isosobride mononitrate
Had cabg x 3 2 years ago. 1 yr later discovered a problem with a 4th artery. Too narrow to stent. Given Ranexa to control angina type episode. Worked for about a year although I’ve been having hearing problems so when I had another episode didn’t want to increase it so meds changed to the isosobride

Hydronephrosis
Ultrasound shows bilateral hydronephrosis. Also my bladder was not emptying. I had a Ureteroscopy done with a stent put in for two weeks as I had two .4 cm stones to pass. The stent was taken out 2 weeks ago, but I'm still having lot of bad flank pain on both sides plus under both sides of my front

Chest pain post angioplasty/stenting
Hi all, So I had a stent fitted (LAD) to open up a narrowing in my artery on Friday morning. Have been experiencing off and on chest pain. Not too intense. More mild to moderate pain on left side of chest. Just wondering how common chest discomfort is post procedure. It could be settling in pain where

Discomfort while sleeping on left side?
When I sleep on left side, I feel uncomfortable, like may be heavy than go sleep right side or straight and that’s okay everything becomes normal breathing comfort and all good. Wondering why on left side, After angioplasty it’s been around one year now.

Non STEMI
I am new here, I had a non STEMI 2 months ago and was prescribed the most common medications, I.e. Ticegralor, Bisoprolol, Artovastatin and Aspirin. I was fortunate that the angiogram and subsequent ultrasound indicated there was no apparent damage to the heart muscle and I have recovered fully. No

Cardioversion yesterday. On bisoprolol 7.5 for AFib but also needed post MI. Pulse 47/54. Will pulse gradually improve over next few days?
Had stemi. Cardiac arrest and stent fitted 3 months ago. Was in continuous AFib till cardio version. Bisoprolol was for AFib but also to help damaged heart muscle heal post heart attack ( best dose for that is 10mg). So trying not to decrease it. If I stay in sinus rhythm will my pulse improve?

CABG Lungs?
I am 8 weeks out from triple CABG and my lungs still are not giving me full breaths. When I breathe I can't take a full breath without some discomfort and when I walk up hills I have a hard time taking full breaths because it causes coughing. Can anyone normalize this for me? I understand that being

I am having a drilling of the artery as it is blocked. What can I expect please?
So I have had 2 angiograms and one stent. My symptoms are much better but still there a bit. It's due to a total blockage of a small artery. Luckily my heart is fine and no real damage has been done. If I am honest I didn't like the angiogram procedure and this apparently needs two wires in each arm

Dreaming
So I have been having vivid dreams (could say nightmares) and when I wake up I have symptoms of angina (aching in arms etc) and can feel my heart beating more than normal. I'm unsure whether during the dream my heart is racing faster because of what I'm dreaming about or I'm having the symptoms and that's

Help in deciding when to return to work
4 months ago I had a STEMI. arrested just as got to hospital. Had a stent fitted. It left me with reduced ejection fraction of 40%, some muscle damage and continuous AFib. I’m having cardio version Thursday but they’ve been clear it’s not a cure and if it puts me in nsr I will always have AFib. I’m

I think I'm on the mend 🙂
I had a HA eight weeks ago, a couple of stents fitted 7 weeks ago and I'm feeling pretty good, in fact I'd say about 95% of how I felt before the HA. I've been out walking every day since getting out of hospital, at first it was a slow walk around the block now its about 45 minutes at a good pace including

Just an update
Hi All! I had a heart cath, yesterday, and my left arterial descending artery was 98% blocked! There were actually two blockages, one dislodged and broke up when he attempted to place the stent. The pieces then flowed to the next blockage. That one was successfully stented. I am so very grateful that
