Stent failing after few months .
My husband had two heart attacks within twenty months. Last one September 2020 he has been having some breath issues. We paid private for angiogram yesterday which found that he needed yet another stent which we believe was placed over the one done in September which was failing. They put in the

Heart attack last August, no Stent
I had a STEMI last August. 999 super fast response, and I was taken to cath lab within 1 hour of the 999 call. They did angioplasty, but were unable to insert stent(s) because of ectatic Right coronary artery. I'm told this means that instead of being smooth, the artery has narrow bits and wide bits.

Can there be a delay in postcholecystectomy problems?
I had my surgery in October 2017 when I had a gangrenous gallbladder. It was open chest surgery and I had a stent put in my bile duct. I have been experiencing some pain by my scar site in the upper right abdomen and the abdomen feels swollen. I wonder if it can be connected

Heart failure
I had a heart attack three weeks ago and had a stent fitted. I have been referred to the heart failure team which I find terrifying terrifying. Does this mean what it says that my heart is failing?

Clopidogrel
I have had a 10mm stent put in to cover 2 x 90% blockage in same artery. I have been prescribed clopidogrel. I am feeling so tired and pains everywhere since starting them 5 weeks ago. Is this normal? Did not have any symptoms before stent and blockages only discovered during health check.

Meds post stents
What meds are prescribed after having stents? Hopefully my angioplasty is scheduled for this a Friday. Do you still take nitrates? I know aspirin and anti clotting medication is prescribed as well as continuing with my blood pressure tablets. Is it a problem getting travel insurance after stents?

Left arm pain ? Cause
Hiya just after some advise really. I had a stent fitted to my RCA for an 80% blockage found routinely from an ECG in March 2020 and whilst having angiogram they noted a degree of plaque in my left circumflex which is not my dominant artery (my RCA is the dominant one) of around 40-60% so they did a

Heart medication
Good morning all, I had a cardiac arrest in 2017 in A&E waiting room. I was treated successfully and had the blockage cleared but no stent was inserted due to the artery being to narrow for a stent. Almost 4 years on I have now been told I am pre diabetic. I have come across some statements on Google

Wedding Day worries.
Hi all, After my heart attack at Christmas and subsequent stent insertion I am now focussed on my wedding at the start of May. I am starting to get some anxiety about the event and whether it is likely to overstress me to the point of another cardiac event on the day. I know this is irrational as I am

Confidence
Hi, I had a heart attack 6 weeks ago and had a stent fitted. I'm 74 and usually an active, positive woman but my self confidence seems to have taken a knock. Is this normal?

Post CABG recovery
Hello, I hope everyone is well. I have a couple of questions for anyone who has trod the post-cardiac surgery path before me. I had a CABG on the 5th March and I am very happy with my recovery so far; I am walking for exercise and increasing my distance - although I wish it would warm up a bit. I'm
