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

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

Cor Triatriatum and post stent pain.
Hi, I'm a newbie! Quick precis of my story: I was waiting for an angio appt (told 6 month wait) when my heart decided it could wait no longer and I was admitted via A&E and eventually had a stent fitted. It was also discovered that I had Cor Triatiatum since birth, explaining why I'd be pulled out

Is there some handy post that details the abbreviations that are used here ( CABG / PVST/LAD/STEMI/HCM). I have no idea if posts are relevant to my condition !-

Stent before ablation
I am enormously grateful to this community. I am in an extremely good hospital but nobody speaks good English and I can't expect the doctors to spend too much extra time on me with my limited Russian and Google translate. Good news for those who read previous thread is that my stomach ulcer is not cancerous

Hi everyone I am new here and I am so glad to have found this forum. I am 65 and never had a heart problem in my life until March this year. I was at work and had a heart attack. While in hospital I had another heart attack. I was moved to another hospital where I had an angiogram and angioplasty

Running post sciatica
Hi All, I took up running after my CABG to help keep fit 2 years ago but I had a really bad bout of sciatica in Sept that completely stopped me in my tracks. I'm just getting to the point where I can walk 5K and am hoping I can start running again, leg and back permitting. Has anyone else been in a

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

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

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?

Breathing and Coughing post CABG
I need a little help from my HealthUnlocked friends. I'm 5 weeks post CABGx3 and still experiencing both a lot of breathlessness and intermittent coughing. When I try to breath too deeply I begin to cough ... very uncomfortable. What is your experience of recovering from breathlessness? What breathing

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
