Scared after Heart Attack and 3 Stents
I had a serious Heart Attack on July 13th and received (2) stents - 52 year old male. On July 30th, I received a third, due to some additional blockage found. The 3rd stent was scheduled and not under emergency conditions. Overall, my Cardiologist was pleased and said all (3) stents were working well

Low Oxygen Levels - When to be Concerned?
Hi all. I had a major HA 9 weeks ago and had one stent fitted to a fully blocked left artery. I've been recovering pretty well all in all. My EF has gone up from 30% to around 45% and my 'severe left ventricular dysfunction' has improved to 'moderate LV dysfunction'. My question is this, I woke this

scared of dying
I guess one of my many problems or or at least the one that is dominant right now is my fear of dying. I've always had it and after having six bypasses at 42 and a stent when I was 51+ other medical conditions, I always felt it was justified. But now with the coronavirus and the high probability that

Angioplasty and Taxi Badge
My husband 46 yrs old, had an angioplasty on Monday. One was in the leg and the other in the arm. At the moment he is very depressed as he will be unable to work, he is a taxi driver and he thinks his badge will be taken off him if he doesn’t pass the stress test in 6 weeks. He is unfit and also thinks

Permanent dizziness while vertical/walking
Does anyone out there recognise my problem ? Basically every moment I am either vertical or walking, I have about 10-15% dizziness; but none when either sitting or lying down. It's as if I have drunk about 3/4, (three-quarters), of a bottle of a good red wine, but without getting the alcoholic buzz.

Heart Attack with stent
I had a heart attack less than 2 weeks ag and have had a stent fitted. My heart stopped so I had one shock to bring me back. I am so grateful to the doctors who saved my life. I am feeling a bit nervy and anxious and cold and achy is this normal.

Bladder contracture Options?
As a result of PC treatment and a TURP (after radiation, not advised) to correct a brutal catheterization I now have extreme difficulty urinating and at this time can not even get a catheter into my bladder. I have straight caths arriving later today and hope to be able to get one of them to work since

ADT and Docetaxel worked for treating the Prostrate and Pelvic Mets, but 2 out of 3 ain't bad
Recap: I'm a 61 baby who was DX in Dec 2019 with Stage IV APCa, GS9, PSA 50, with 3 mets found on my pelvis and a metastasis in my bladder which is preventing flow from the left kidney as the mass it's constricting the urerter. So, my PSA is now 0. 05 (Hurray!! 👏👏) Casodex and Eligard (my ADT) combined

Beer is good as I can't drink 3 litres of water!
Beer is good as I can't drink 3 litres of water. With all the drugs I have to take, I try to drink lots of water, but it's hard. Between chemo sessions it's hard enough to eat and drink as it is. But as week 3 comes around, I'm starting to feel a lot better, so I find a few cleansing ales really goes

Soluble aspirin
Good morning everyone, I had a heart attack and stent fitted 2 months ago and I was wondering if anyone else might have had any problems with soluble aspirin? I have a constant ringing in my ears and feel very congested for most of the day. Thanks in advance, Paul
