Life insurance
Hi my husband had a heart attack In December 2018. He had a stent fitted. We are in the process of buying a house and I was wondering if anyone on here had successfully obtained life insurance. If not did you manage to get any other insurances to protect your home financially. Tia

Hi, New today
Hi all, I'm a 60 year old women, had a stent fitted about 6 weeks ago. I have never smoked, drink moderately and hardly anything now and eat a reasonably good diet. They say my problem is genetic. I had been doing regular exercise and strength training before I returned to my manual job last week, but

I'm new here....
Just turned 69 and on Wednesday 16th September I had a heart attack at home . I knew what was happening so rang for an ambulance immediately. Have never been so scared in my life but as I was alone tried to be brave. Went to hospital on blue lights and received a stent in the main artery. On Friday

Possible surgery
My husband had HA last November, STEMI, 1 stent fitted to RCA. Told his LAD is ‘diffusely diseased’ and could not be stented so decided to treat with meds. He’s recovered really well then just started with random pains and tiredness over the last week. Called ambulance yesterday morning and he’s been

Ticagrelor starting today
Hello I’m new to this group. I’ve had a stent fitted one week ago after only discovering I had heart disease 4 weeks ago. The stent was fitted in my left LAD Artery. I was put on Clopidogrel and after 5 days I developed a severe rash. The consultant has now changed me onto Ticagrelor which I just started

Audible clicking noises
I’m 5 weeks post CABG, and all’s great so far. I’m having a few ‘loud’ bone clicking noises ‘from somewhere in there’ as I do exercises stretching chest and moving arms and rib-cage. Is this a natural part of healing or should I worry about?

How did my dad get so sick so fast? Treatment emergent metastatic small cell cancer of the prostate.
Hi everyone. Unfortunately, our world has been turned upside down. My father has recurrent prostate cancer that seemed to be well controlled with ADT, but in fact had mutated into Small Cell Carcinoma of the Prostate. He has gotten so sick, so quickly, and we're not sure exactky why. We are concerned

Flu jab post stent
Hi all. I have a flu jab every year due to my type 1 diabetes as I’m higher risk with flu. The first drive through flu clinic at my gp surgery is in a couple of weeks. how long after a stent is it safe to have the flu jab? Would it be detrimental to my seemingly slow recovery? I’m still bruised from

Monkey whispering in my ear
I’m 5 weeks into double bypass CABG recovery and feeling really good. So good that a monkey on my shoulder has started to whisper in my ear such things as AF and STROKE. I think I maybe need a good telling off and a kick, and need to get on with my life now, (I’m very lucky to be fixed) OR are these

Hi fellow heart-people I hope you are all well. It’s my four week anniversary of CABG double bypass and doing well so far ! I hope this progress continues. I bought an apple watch and perhaps have become too obsessed by the heart monitor. It is showing my BPM at rest as 48/49. I’m on Amiaderone for

Apixaban
My warfarin has been ceased and I have been commenced on Apixaban. Since taking Apixaban I have been breathless and feel tight in the chest. I have had double CABG and a bovine valve replacing my aortic valve. Any suggestions should I go back to warfarin or continue with the Apixaban for a few more
