stent and cataract removal
Has anyone had a stent fitted at the same time as the removal of a cataract? How did it go? Would you recommend having both done at the same time?

Ramipril
hello all I have had a stent today and was told to up my ramipril from 2.5 to 5ml - I usually take my 2.5 at bedtime is it ok to take 5 at night or should I split them for the morning and night - I’m worried about increasing them. Thanks in advance for any advice

Stopping ezetemibe
1 year post NSTEMI and stent and finally had a call from cardiologist. Basically all fine thankfully. They said I could stop ezetemibe but stay on 40mg atorvastatin. Bit confused as NHS website says ezetemibe is for life. My cholesterol numbers are good ( LDL 1, ratio 1.9, total 2.5, triglycerides 0.4

Stent
Hi, Last year I had an angiogram. It showed a fast heartbeat and a right artery blockage of 70% I am taking procoralan 5mg daily. The cardiologist said there is no threat to me so that's very positive. If I remain symptomatic he may consider putting in a stent. I have discomfort in my chest, a heavy

Heart bypass or stens
Hi all I have been diagnosed with blockages to 3 arteries and the consultant has given me the option of a bypass or stens. Almost a 50:50. I am unsure which to take and was wondering if anyone had been in the same boat and had any advice. Which you chose and why ?

Do I have heart failure or heart disease?
This is my first post. Back in 2019 I had what felt like "flutterings" and breathlessness/dizziness. I was diagnosed with arrhythmia. A 24 hour ecg showed ventricular ectopic beats. An echocardiogram showed mild valve leakages but no obvious cardiomyopathy. I was advised to stop/reduce my caffeine

Arm Pain
Hi Everyone. I had a blockage in my main LAD and a stent fitted September 2020. I’ve been really well since then. Meds at the moment Aspirin and Atorvastatin. I’ve started to have aching arms. Not terrible but just a bit worried as that was the first symptom I had before I was diagnosed with Angina
