immune system
Hi guys Hope you are all having a good day. I'm 9 months post stent. Still haven't completely sorted my head out, but im getting there. Just thinking as i'm sitting here with man flu, is there any data that suggests that the post heart attack medication can affect our immune systems.

Statins
Morning All, Following a stent in March 2023 I have been put on 80mg Astrovastatin among other meds. In the last 4 months I’ve had muscle pains in my left arm and between my shoulder blades when lifting even the lightest things. Sometimes really quite painful. Following some unsuccessful physio I’

pulse
had stent fitted last week . Have been on blood thinners and statin since , but wasn’t told to carry on with beta blockers or nitrate tabs . My pulse at the moment is only 59 which is low ish for me without beta blockers . Does this mean the stents not working properly ?

Drinking alcohol
I'm going on a cruise and my other half wants to get the drinks package.But I suffer from microvascular angina and had a stent fitted 4 years ago. I'm on heart meds/statins. My question is should I be drinking for 14 days . I do drink but about once a week . To break even I would have to have at least

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

angioplasty with stent
had stent put in rca on Tuesday . The pain in my arm is horrendous and hot to the touch . Is this to be expected with the trauma ? And the acid reflux is quite bad . Reading up on it could be side effect to clipidogrel . Any here had similar issues

left arm tingle is confusing me
hello, The top, rear, of my left arm has been tingling for about a week now. I had a stent fitted a few years ago and I’ve since given up smoking and I run 4 times a week. However, I’m always worried when it comes to any “symtoms” that could be heart related. Should I go to the hospital?

lump in throat
hi everyone. I am a woman in my early 50s. I had a heart event two weeks ago. I was admitted to hospital where I was discovered to have a fast heartbeat, and also an irregular heartbeat and a blocked artery - following the event I have had a stent in this artery. I had noticed over the last few months

Feeling rough
I had a MI in March last year and had 1 x stent several days later. Since then I've had various problems with the medication that I was given with mainly fatigue, so my medication was tweaked for several months after. I am now on the dosages I was originally put on and have been for a while and felt

A case study post bariatric surgery
For anyone who has access to twitter, this case study posted yesterday might be of some interest. Probably as much for the discussion as the original case. (Don't get too excited! It is just another case where the origination of the problem doesn't get blamed. As I see it, the cause was iatrogenic and
