Defibrillator??
Morning all, I'm now 7 weeks on from my HA and 6 weeks on from my angioplasty and I've got to say I'm feeling pretty good. I'm doing an hours walk at a decent pace every day, doing my Fitsteps classes again, doing my gardening and generally enjoying life. The diets going well, taking far healthier options

Cataract and stent op outcomes
Hi All Has anyone had cataract op and how did it go? I had super vision for 4 days and then apparently the lens moved and now it’s not that great. Because I can read the chart they say I can drive but beyond about 5 metres my vision is blurred so I won’t be driving. I know it’s only 11 days but I am

Platelets dropping while on Zejula (Niraparib)
Hi Lovely Ladies. I went through two rounds of chemo for peritoneal CA. A few bumps along the way with a blocked ureter. A stent was inserted and I ended up in ICU with a kidney infection. (Sepsis). All good now in that regard except that my kidney function has been affected - they don't seem to be

Rosuvastatin verses Atorvastatin
Having had a coronary stent fitted in April I'm prescribed atorvastatin 80mg to clear fatty arteries. Would I be better off with rosuvastatin?

How long does pain last after angioplasty
Painful arm two weeks after angioplasty. When the procedure was performed, my radial artery was spasming, so they changed places. But, the intravenous moved slighty out of my vein, and the relaxing meds went into my arm under the skin instead of the vein. My arm is still badly bruised and can be

Referral to renal unit?
I’ve recently been in hospital for angioplasty which unfortunately couldn’t go ahead due to the twisting and an aneurysm in the RCA. I had a kidney removed 3 years ago due to cancer and the remaining kidney never picked up from about 45 gfr. It has gone steadily down to 37gfr. I had blood tests carried

Vaping
Hi guys, I had a stent fitted at the end of June this year. Does anyone have any advice on vaping? Is it dangerous to carry on? I'm on the lowest strength available.

Safe to take supplements?
Hi, With all the meds I'm taking in first year after triple CABG is it safe to take supplements (namely Vitamin D / zinc in winter months)? Or will I be overwhelming my liver? Thanks
