Ectopics after stent procedure
My father had a heart attack last weekend and underwent a stent procedure. He had one “large” stent placed with the consultant saying there looked as if there was no damage to the heart. He has experienced heart palpitations, mostly a few ectopics, a few times since he has been home. Is this a normal

A stent for Christmas!
All set for pre-op on the 16th Dec and stent in LAD on 18th Dec...much sooner than I anticipated ,as I was told I would be put on the list and it wouldn’t happen until at least Jan/Feb! Now feeling really scared , I know I shouldn’t as it’s minor compared to most of the things other people on here have

Great news, I can stop taking Lupron
My Oncologist told me today that based on my latest PSA reading (0.01) and scan results, to hold off having my next Eligard shot next month to see what happens to my PSA level. Effectively active surveillance. It was music to my ears, he told me to go on vacation 👏👏👏👏. 12 months ago I went to the

Hi, new here
On 16 November I went to a&e with what I thought was indigestion and 2 hours later I had a massive heart attack that stopped my heart, I woke to see people gathered around me saying it stopped for a minute and they shocked me to bring me back. Flown to John Radcliffe by air ambulance for an LAD stent

Dizzy when waking
I had a heart attack 5 weeks ago and had a stent fitted. I’m taking the usual cocktail of tablets and haven’t had significant problems but, on my phone check up, my consultant recommended that I take 2.5 mg Ramipril in the evening rather than in the morning as I had been doing. I did this for about
