Severe Proximal RCA Disease and Moderate LAD Disease - NO FURTHER ACTION!
Hi - I had a call from the cardiologist this afternoon, after a team consultation they have decided they will not be performing an angiogram and hence I will not be receiving any stents. They have said a stent would not decrease my chances of having a heart attack, and therefore it's not worth the risk

poo activity post HA
I had a HA and stent operation 3 weeks ago today and my bowel movements have yet to return to any sort of normality. Embarrassing to share, but I have loose stools that are not painful but nearly every morning after taking lansoprazole or say 20 mins after my breakfast. Anyone remember if this

Pain relief medication
Hi there, I had a stent fitted in LAD in 2021. Have a mild to moderate aortic leaky valve. I also have two slipped discs in lower back. For the most part, I have no pain or restricted movement. Every now and again, I’m in excruciating pain with my back for a few days, then all goes back to normal

Popliteal Artery Stenting - success or nightmare?
Hi, I have developed intermittent claudication in my right Popliteal Artery just behind my right knee - pretty much where the knee bends and can only walk short distances before pain kicks in. I am 68 years old, just retired and am an ex-mild smoker. Has anyone had a Stent placed in this particular

Massage for Relaxation
Just wondering if others have been in my position. I had an NSTEMI in late December and had a stent fitted. Before then I would have a regular massage as a monthly treat.I asked the Cardiac Nurse today if I could start them up again and she said that the relaxation benefits probably outway any potential

Coronary artery calcification, osteoporosis and B12 deficiency- what to do next ?
I have just been found to have coronary artery calcification incidentally when having a Lung Healthcare scan. This information was passed to my GP who wants to put me on statins (Atorvastatin 20mg daily). I have no idea of the severity or extent of the calcification, only that it was found. I don't

Tired!
Hi everyone, I had an ST STEMI three and a half weeks ago. Stent fitted. I have the usual medication for an MI, however, I am so tired, all the time. Is this normal? Is it the medication do you think?

supra-arterial myotomy
hello has anyone had this heart surgery? It seems to be more available in US but not so in UK. Technically it’s cutting the heart muscle open to release the (most common) LAD which grew inside the heart muscle instead of on the surface of the heart during pregnancy so is a congenital heart defect (myocardial

Stents AFTER failed CABG
Had stents fitted on Wednesday. Got home last night after a stay in CCU overnight. I was told at the time the surgeon managed to stent all three arteries (even the fully blocked one with 2 long stents, yayy!) Now I'm home and read the discharge letter it says one balloon to one artery and stents in the

Severe Proximal RCA Disease and Moderate LAD Disease - Updated
Good morning, I had a follow-up appointment this morning with the cardiologist, I'll need to wait for the consultation letter for the details, this is what I know. I have coronary heart disease, and it's worse in my right than the left, apparently that's good. They don't know what to do with me as I

Has this happened to anyone else?
Good Morning, Yesterday I got up from the chair and took a few steps and suddenly I started to shake but it was more like I was being rattled or severe shivering without being cold It only lasted a few seconds but it did quite scare me. I had a HA in April last year and had a stent then another episode

clopidril
I have been on Clopidril since having 4 stents in 2015 then a by pass in my leg. I then had another stent fitted in 2022. Further investigations found narrowing of the arteries in my other leg. I believe the clopidril is causing the hot sweats I have been having for years. I am wondering whether I have
