Pins and needles
I am 4 weeks post HA and stent. In the last week have been waking up in the night with pins and needles down left side. Was bad last night and took 3 hrs to get back to sleep due to resulting anxiety. Spoke to my cardiac nurse who says it's nothing to do with the drugs. She says none of them have that

Can you feel your heart post CABG
Hi all I’ve been for a stress test today on the treadmill and the same happened as it did the other day when I tried to go for my first hill walk on the local hills by us. I started off fine but as the gradient increased my heart rate obviously increased but the rate wasn’t massive around 110 the problem

rhubidium scan result and angiogram/stents next week
I have more than 10% ischaemia in the lateral wall (circumflex territory) and epicardial calcification on CT for cancer surveillance. How mild or serious is this? I am having an angiogram next week with stent if possible but there is a chance I will need a CABG instead. Any similar experiences?

Terrified!!
I am scheduled for double bypass surgery next Monday and am terrified! Have always been fit and healthy and never had to undergo in patient surgery. Need reminding of why I am putting myself through this, as angina pain is very well managed! I’m only 58 and my heart EF is good . 😬🥴

Thankfulness
Woke up to another grey morning, but have realised I have a lot to be thankful for. Firstly although I discovered I had a "widowmaker" blockage of the L AD, my other arteries compensated and I didn't have a heart attack. Secondly the team at Basildon who looked after me last year before and during the

Angina symptoms
Hello all, My first post here so be gentle! 😃 In October ‘21 I I had severe LAD disease which led to a myocardial infarction & a subsequent stent & all was good. In the last month I’ve been given a GTN spray only because the GP thought I had one, but I never had. I’ve also had an Echo recently,

Week 1
I’m a returning C25K runner, progressed really well in 2019 then ill health struck, then Covid, then last year I had to have a stent inserted. So after much procrastination I slipped into my ill fitting running gear, donned my trainers and put on some good music. I have just finished Week 1 and although

Heart Attack Journal #2
I really didn’t think I’d be back here again. After my first MI in August 2019, I really thought that the medication I was on would prevent a repeat of this. However, 3 ½ years on, it’s happened again. Seems that I’m in the small minority (less than 2%) for whom the standard medication doesn’t prevent

Between a Rock and a Hardplace!
👋 Hi Everyone, this will probably seem like a 1st world problem to most people on this forum, I'm sure but I wonder if anyone else has lost a little sleep 😴 over my current dilemma? I had Bypass surgery late September 2022. This was purely precautionary following my diagnosis of a severe stenosis

Perspiring profusely
Does anybody else suffer with profuse sweating and dull pain in the chest. I started my heart journey in Spain needing stents fitted one year later I was rushed into hospital again with a heart attack where one of my stents in the LAD failed and caused a blood clot. I then moved back to UK as my understanding

Breathlessness advice
I’m at nearly two years post HA (6th May 21) and one stent 😊. I’ve lost weight, fitter than I’ve been in years and eating habits have improved. I acknowledge there is still room for improvement. In the last month I have noticed that I am becoming more breathless when walking or doing jobs like gardening
