Fostair Inhaler 100/6
How safe is the Fostair 100/6 inhaler please? After having been on a Symbicort inhaler since earlier this, my Asthma Nurse has changed my medication to a Fostair. Usually my breathing is under control but since beginning of this year, and after testing positive for Covid just after Christmas 2020, I

GCA culprit with possible plaque in artery
Has anybody had stents put in with GCA being the main culprit? I went for a scan and got the results and I can't find anything that means it's good or bad. My appointment with the vascular surgeon is tomorrow and was wondering if anyone on here can tell me if my distal external iliac artery is high

Wheezing/breathless post stent
First time posting :) I’m a 50 year old nurse with a recent stent placement in June. Probably similar story to many - had no idea I was experiencing angina. Thought I was unfit and breathless due to covid lockdown lack of exercise. Long story short, had a positive stress test, started rosuvastatin, aspirin

Heart Pills and Eczema
Nearly 10 months after starting on heart pills (ticagrelor, aspirin, ramipiril 2.5 , atorvastatin. lanzaprolole) following an angiogram (1 stent fitted), terrible eczema eruptions on my whole body plus itchy scalp and blocked ears. Could this be a side-effect of ramipiril which is a thiazide diuretic

No stent extra meds
After having a cardiology angiogram last I was told then by the cardiologist that I would need a stent but he would speak to colleagues. Then I got a letter to say I’m staying on my meds plus statin’s and aspirin. My finding were “Access was via the right radial artery. Results showed mild ascending

Upper back pain AFTER heart attack?
My Mum is in her second week following a heart attack treated by angioplasty (stent). The past couple days she has complained of a general ache/pain in her upper back. Is this normal? It's got me on high alert and very anxious but she's claiming it as a general part of recovery. I'm finding it difficult

Arm pain right & left- Bisoprolol?
Experiencing above along with chest pain over past Week. Stats all normal. Replacement AVR last year, surgery was traumatic- wrong size valve - had to be replaced- surgical mess caused a clot and HA. Had to be resuscitated when having angioplasty to remove clot. Artery had to be stented. Recurring effusions

Back home after spending 10 days in hospital after a TAK flare up.
Was admitted to hospital 10 days ago after a violent flare up from TAK. Screaming headaches, which led to some numbness down my temple, cheek and jaw and heavy arms and tingling in little fingers and chest pain. At first they thought I had had a stroke or a heart attack. Anyway after many scans and X-rays

The last one resulted in a TIPS procedure which i believe is a stent through the liver. Now been told i have esld and without wishing to ask a daft question, what is the likely outcome

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
