Do I still have angina?
I was diagnosed with angina about 7 years ago and after quite a few lifestyle changes I had it under control....I haven't needed to use my spray for years. Three months ago I had a heart attack and had two stents fitted to my LAD, apart from a couple of minor issues with dizziness if I stand up too quickly

ATORVASTATIN Side effects
My dose was increased from 20mg to 80mg after heart attack. I had the proceedure known as Angioplasty where the arteries ate widened using a balloon rather than stents. I now get very painful cramps at night but my GP will not reduse the dosage because of my heart attack, too risky I guess. Does anyone

Medication after HA & CABGx4
After my CABG in Nov 2020, I had a HA in June due to blockage of bypass. Artery that was bypassed and blocked is 55-75% stenosis. On top of the statins and asperine as a result of the CABG, I am now also on isosorbide-5-mononitrate and ranolazine, but not on clopidogrel or other blood thinners. My

Does a triple bypass mean you no longer have heart failure?
I had a heart attack and a stent fitted in 2015, pulmonary oedema in 2016 then a triple bypass in 2019. I attend the Heart Failure clinic and am having shortness of breath, aching legs due to oedema and still have angina. Am l considered disabled? I struggle in various areas.

KIDNEY STENTS
Hello Everyone This is my first post to the forum but I have accessed the site on most days for the past few months and I have been impressed with the empathy , honesty shown and the advice provided by the community. My stage 3C OC journey echoes that of many of the group. I was diagnosed in November

Exercise and PVC's
I had a heart attack, caused by a clot according to my cardiologist albeit I have clear coronary arteries and no sign of CAD in the main arteries. I do have slight disease in one of the minor arteries but it is too small to stent and my treatment is medication only. Prior to heart attack I was exercising
