Artrostatin side effects
Hi my physio at rehab suggested I took nystatin 40 mg in the morning as I was having trouble sleeping and my ramipril 2.5 at night. I also take Bisoprolol [ 25 at night and 76mg aspirin in the morning. Ceased Ticagrelor a month ago after one year. I had angina and a stent. The statin makes me feel spaced

Using an Inhaler with cardio issues
As a few will know I have had Cardio problems since 1997, fixed with quad CABG and later stents fitted. Had several issues with breathlessness and diagnosed with HF. All of these quite well managed these days. Earlier this year just before everything kicked off I had had more breathing issues and had

Ongoing problems after CABG - impossible to get anyone to listen
Just wondering if anyone has any advice...fiancé had 3x CABG in January. He had AFib and heart flutter after op (several occasions of it and was on Amiodrone for 3 months.) An ecg he had in March showed no AFib and he was taken off the amiodrone. For the last few weeks/months he’s had “funny heart moments

Afib in the evening
Hi All, I’m new here and don’t know much about Afib but could do with some help. I had a heart attack in March this year and 1 stent fitted which has been fine. A few twinges here and there but all in all I am now healthier than I have been for years. I eat well, exercise daily and am at my perfect BMI

Clopidogrel experience
I thought I would share. Had a heart attack back in April and stent fitted, was placed on a cocktail of drugs as most are. I reacted really badly after two weeks and stopped them all bar the clopidogrel and aspirin. I was told not to but I've done my own research and was comfortable in my decisions.

Pale hands and face
Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone might be experiencing the same thing. Sometimes during the day, my face and hands turn very pale and this is usually followed by a smell/taste that I can only discribe as being like iron. My hands also turn pale when I have them raised above my heart. I've had 1

Chest tightness
Hello. I’m a few months down the line from having a Stent in LAD . Totally unexpected as suddenly started having angina after exercise .. just two months later the chest tightness started and has never improved. It decreases slightly on rest and even a conversation lasting more than 15 minutes increases

Do they know how I am?
I'm kind of celebrating. 6 months have passed since my heart attack and subsequent stent. In that time I've upped my exercise levels, changed my diet based upon my own research, and reduced my BMI from 30 to 23. During this time I have had cause to contact my GP and hospital a number of times. A couple
