Stent
I had two stents last year and I have spasms. The medication I’m on has worked well until this week I am getting some chest pain. Nothing major but enough to be noticeable. Tonight I took some spray for the first time. Should I be worried?

Vibrating heart
Hi , Last year I had a few days when my heart was vibrating as if I had a small kitten purring inside it. I had an ecg at my gps surgery which showed nothing strange and my cardio didn’t seem bothered(phone call) . Today it’s happening again. I did have a stressful situation to deal with first thing

Post heart attack medication
Had heart attack nearly five weeks ago had one stent fitted. I am now on medication for blood press and cholesterol, how long does it take to reduce my high blood pressure and what side effect if any should I be aware of? Many thanks

Coronary spasm and percutaneous coronary intervention for refractory cases.
Has anyone had stents if there condition is not well controlled? Ive read this in a few articles,also read that stents can be a focal point for spasms hence not used.

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?
