Learning to cope
Hi everyone. Some really good and sound advice on here. I had a heart attack and stent fitted just before last Christmas and seem to be recovering well physically. Mentally I am struggling with anxiety, which I was already prone to, and wish my cardiac rehabilitation could have been more face to face

Unplanned hospital visit - MVD - next steps?
I ended up in hospital on Thursday on my birthday! Had a black out at home along with usual chest pain. Had another angiogram to check my new stent put in last November was ok. All good & arteries not clogged. Through a process of elimination they told me they thought i had MVD and Vasospastic Angina

Failed angiogram
Hi all, only my second post on here. I’ve just got home from a failed angiogram. Back in 2019, I had a NSTEMI resulting in a stent fitted on the LAD. After roughly 6 months, I started suffering angina pain on exertion. I reported this to my cardiologist who subsequently referred me for an angiogram.

Update
So the Coronary Angiogram complete. It was ok, the staff were lovely and cardiologist answered all my questions. I didn't really feel anything other than an ache when they were feeding the tube through. I told them I was very nervous and asked if they could give me something to help relax me and they

Coronary Angiogram
I'm due to go into have this on Wednesday. Very relieved, slightly nervous... more than slightly when I think about it too much. The hospital have decided to do a two in one so to speak, if they find it's a blocked artery they will put in a stent whilst I'm there so I'm taking blood thinning tablets

Coming off Ticagrelor
I had heart attack in 2017 and had a stent inserted. In August 2021 I will have been taking Ticagrelor for 4 years without problems (only bruising at times) and also 75mg of Aspirin daily. I am really concerned as the time gets closer to stopping it, do I just stop it I’ve read people can have heart

Now what?
Three years ago I developed a tremor in my dominant arm. At the same time I developed a Deep Vein Thrombosis in the same arm. Then a 100% obstruction of the LAD coronary branch. The LAD is also known as the widow maker. A stent plus drugs cleared all that up but nothing has helped get rid of

Do you keep active
Just a note that having a heart attack and having a stent fitted does not need to be disabling or stop you doing things. I had a heart attack on September the 13th and 3 day's later a stent was fitted. In October I travelled to Spain where I walk and use an E bike to zap around the hills and mountains

Am I classed as having heart disease
I had a minor heart attack at the start of last year due to a narrowing of one of my arteries. They fitted a stent and said there was no other signs of narrowing elsewhere. Do I count as having heart disease?

Stopping Ramilpril
I had a stent fitted in December 2019 due to a blocked artery. I didn’t have any heart or lung problems and have very good blood pressure. My doctor at the time put me on Ramilpril along with other meds and I have recently developed a bad cough which is driving me mad. Would it be safe to stop taking

Unstable on my feet post HA
Greetings. Almost 2 years ago I had a heart attack. I had a stent fitted and all has been well. The only slight concern is seem to loose my sense of balance and bump into things. I am taking one 3.75 tablet of Bisoprolol a day.

On going discomfort
After heart attack in Sept and stent fitting my husband has what he classes as discomfort in his chest. He's had it since heart attack and mentioned it to both Cardio and own G.P but they don't seem overly concerned(I even rang an ambulance 1 day, they did ecg and said it wasn't his heart) he's waiting

It's exactly a year since my quadruple heart bypass...what a year!
I haven't posted apart from the odd reply for quite some time but now I've reached a milestone, 1 year since my operation which is also pretty much 1 year in lockdown. When I left hospital it was barely 2 weeks before we went into national lockdown and from that point onward there were just 4 weeks in

Returning to work after surgery
Hi I had brain aneurysm surgery ( coil and stent repair ) last year , I’ve been signed fit to work but employer won’t allow be back until I have had occupational health assessment which I understand , according to those in the know this now means I am in ‘ medical suspension ‘ until I’ve had assessment

Understanding the vaccine priority
Am I correct in thinking that having had a heart attack and a stent and being 63yrs old, that this will place me in priority group 6 ‘16 - 64yrs - with underlying health conditions? I have always thought it did. I ask your advice on this as my 58yr old sister with no underlying conditions, lives in
