Newly diagnosed and super confused!
Hi everyone! New member here joined on behalf of my partner. We're in South Wales, UK. Tuesday morning my partner had bad chest pain and after asking him all the questions I thought he might be having a heart attack so took him to nearest local A&E. He had clot busting medication as a precaution. They

Pins and needles after angioplasty
Hi. My partner had angioplasty on Tuesday. It failed in his right arm due to the artery collapsing within a few inches. He is still having pins and needles, sensitivity and occasional weakness in his hand/fingers. They went in on left side and my partner says this arms fine. No stent was required

Hello.
Hello I'm a 40 year old father of 2. Noticed I was having episodes of chest pain while cycling back in August. After a Heart CT I underwent an angiogram on 17th Dec with 35mm stent fitted in the LAD.

I’m new here - How did you recover from a heart attack at 52 years old
I’m 52, exercise regularly and eat an ok diet. I had a heart attack this week whilst cycling. Had a stent fitted and need another one in two weeks. This has really shocked me and I’m pretty frightened of what the future holds. What do I need to do to get back to some normality?

Stent Fitted LAD Blocked + Atrial Flutter Diagnosed
Hi all - this is a copy of a post I put onto the BHF site a few days ago but haven't received a response so far. The emphasis so far is very much about the HA/Stent recovery and not much about the Atrial Flutter side of things although some of the meds I am taking particularly Bisoprolol/Apixaban are

What is the best exercise for heart patients
Hi, I was wondering what is the best form of exercise of cardiac patients? Is it ok to do weights? Should we be avoiding certain type of exercises ? I am generally fit but just interested to know following an angioplasty when should we start exercising? Any thoughts? Many thanks

Trans Apical TAVI op done and dusted at last!
Just thought I'd let everyone know that I've been out of hospital for a week now, after waiting 13 months and two cancellations for an urgent aortic valve replacement. Stiches due out tomorrow. I'm especially grateful to Tessie28 who warned me that even though the op is termed 'key hole' it is still
