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

Post Stent: Fatigue aches and insomnia
Hi, I had a stent fitted a month ago after collapsing during a stress test in hospital. After the stent was fitted I was sent home with a leaflet and my medication. The nurses were superb, however, I wasn't really 'with it' when discharged so didn't ask many questions. For the first week I felt much

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.
