Bloody Covid can sod off!
Hi All, Had heart attack/ stent fitted 10 weeks ago & still struggling with side effects of medication. Dropped down to 1 Bisoprolol instead of 2 & this temporarily stopped the dizzy spells & light headedness. But within a couple of weeks they were back again & I just feel like crap most of the time

Palpitations after Heart Attack
Hello, I had a heart attack 5 days ago and have had a stent put into the blocked artery. Last night I experienced heart palpitations which woke me up and then I was so anxious I couldn’t sleep. Is this normal ? Should I visit the doctor ? Thanks in advance 🙏

stent
I had a stent fitted after a heart attack on 29th August. As I have returned to work part time I am doing a bit more. Is it normal to feel breathless?

angioplasty
I am 66 I am going for an angioplasty on the 27th November with the possibility of a stent in LAD. Very nervous. I have had LBBB since in my early 30’s so always got a slight tight chest on hills, i had an angiogram in 2012 and an MRI I was put on Bisoprolol, statins and ramipril after this. Dosage reduced

incredibly lucky
I feel so incredibly lucky after reading some of your stories. I had a HA 5 yrs ago, was told that if someone has to have a HA they would want one like yours? It was explained to me that it was on the right side and very low down?? I stayed overnight in hospital and the first time I saw a consultant

Flu Jab and Heart Failure
Hi All, New on here, just wondering whether anyone has had the flu jab after being diagnosed with Heart Failure? I have an Ejection Fraction between 30%-35%. I had 1 stent in the LAD in July. Had angina as well. Is it advisable to have the flu jab?

shoulder and arm pain after heart bypass
My friend had a quadruple bypass 4 weeks ago. He's had trouble with pins and needles in his arms and hands. The last 4 days a lot of pain in shoulders and arms which has lead to loss of sleep. He also has a cough. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

Docetaxel only partially successful
I had a full body MRI scan this week at Royal Marsden in London. The purpose was to assess the effectiveness of docetaxel after 3 infusions. The results have been very disappointing, and I'm struggling to keep a sense of perspective - not least because I was feeling so good, and had seen all of my previous

This is normal after a heart bypass, isn't it?
My husband had a bypass on Friday, a double if that makes a difference. 3 nights in ICU, chest infection, exhaustion and gibbering nonsense. Today moved into HDU and was so much more alert, talkative and seemed like his old self. Just had him on the phone to me, worried they were giving him too many
