Second opinion?
Hello everyone, Great to have found this community. I'm getting mixed diagnostics from my Urologist: I have a fully collapsed ureter + the severe hydronephrosis is not bad enough to plan the next procedure 4 weeks out. This doesn't seem to make any sense and I would like to review the diagnostics with

What bra did you wear after bypass surgery?
I am fairly new on here and I’ve finally seen the consultant and I was told surgery would be in around 3 months. So ladies what bra did you get to wear after bypass surgery? I also have a large chest so needs to be supportive. I’ve looked about but there are so many it’s hard to choose, I do have

Does anybody here take Isosorbide Mononitrate 60 mg twice a day ?
Had a 3 X CABG 7 years ago, I’m now a 64 years old, male. Everything since then has been fine, until recently, as I've now started to get angina attacks in the early mornings whilst asleep, and if I exert myself (like walking to the shops). I had to go to A&E when using my GTN spray did not work on

Does anyone know if there is an alternative medication to Clopidogrel?
Hi all I had a stent fitted 16 May 23. As is the norm I was prescribed Clopidogrel which I cannot tolerate due to dreadful gut and bowel issues which is a nightmare. Was prescribed Lansoprazole to counteract these issues only had some minor improvement. Literally, I am afraid to eat anymore. A morsel

Minor surgery after a stent
Has anyone had experience of surgery post stent? What did you do about the daily asprin? I am due to have minor surgery on my eyelid and the Ocuplastic surgeon has written to my cardiologist . The cardiologist writes that although it was 19 months ago and I am doing well he doesn't recommend suspending

Random Tachycardia
Hi Hearties! I had 4 MIs in 2018 at the age of 38. My LAD was stented (99% blockage), I was given a boatload of meds, and sent on my way. In the years that followed, I have had countless trips back to the A&E, with the primary symptom being tachycardia, dizziness/light-headedness, and occasionally chest

Post surgery
I'm 5 weeks post bypass surgery. My problem is that recently the soreness and pain in my chest has got worse. Is it possible that I've strained something by reaching and stretching? I've also been doing light housework such as dusting and sweeping. The pain lessens when I'm resting, but always increases

recent heart attack
Hello everyone. I had my heart attack three weeks ago this coming Thursday-I was on my narrow boat and actually thought I was having a bizarre panic attack. Anyway to cut a longish story short my partner called an ambulance, they broke the news ‘now don’t panic Lee but you are having a heart attack’

Sternum discomfort week 11 after bypass.
Hi guys, I'm now at week 11 after double heart bypass surgery. Surgery went well, but very bad wound infection and had to be rehospitalized. After all the infection hoo ha, I'm doing well and generally feeling good. My chest area currently feels really tight, and whilst it doesn't hurt to breathe in

Hi. I had a mild heart attack in October 2021, one stent fitted. Follow up echocardiogram ecg in April 2022, all good, told no further appointments unless there's any problems. I am currently on Candesartan, Bisoprolol, Omeprazole, Aspirin and Rosuvastatin. No one has reviewed this since October 2022

Unstable angina symptoms after stent!
Hi all I had a stent put in yesterday and I was fine after the procedure. Woke in the night with mild angina pain but managed to fall back to sleep eventually. The pain is worse today...constant when resting. Gt spray does nothing to relieve the pain. Same with Relosorb. Just wondering if this is normal

Ticagrelor 6 or 12 months post HA and stents
Hi Can anyone advise why the prescribing of ticagrelor differs between geographical areas, some direct 6 months and some 12 months post stent and heart attack. Is there any short concise research I could read on the rationale/ outcome for length of prescribing?
