Listen to your body.
Hi all, just a reminder to have any symptoms checked out. I had a left side stent fitted in January 2019 and went through the usual worries and stresses with this unexpected procedure. Lost weight and kept up my healthy walking habits along with upper body exercises. All went great until 3 months ago

Orbita trial.
Well tomorrow morning I will finally know whether I had a stent fitted during my last angiography at the beginning of September last year. If I haven't it's going to be a bit of a dilemma as to whether to go for a stent or not as I have been relatively angina free (and when I have had its been relatively

Referral for Angiogram
After a recent telephone conversation with a cardiologist I am being referred for an angiogram (with angioplasty if required). Over the last two years have begun to find hills a little harder. Looking for good advice and positive comments on how I can prepare myself prior to the procedure for good outcomes

Dental Surgery and bone graft needed. Will prednisone inhibit the bone graft from taking?
Hi everyone! I just had the most painful root canal on my right front tooth last week! So bad I was bodily shaking. I was informed that the infection has been brewing for quite some time and has caused an area of the bone under my nose not to grow around the root. The endodontist put me on an antibiotic

Update
My visit to breast assessment clinic yesterday after my recent mammogram showed an area of concern in right breast. I had cancer with treatment to my left breast 2020 so an area of concern in my other breast was not what I wanted to hear. I spent the afternoon having scans, ultrasounds and several

Still Waiting for Appointment.
Hi have been in and out of hospital since December with unstable angina. I have had two angiograms waiting for a third so they can drill to try and fit a stent. I have100 percent blockage in my right artery double vessel disease. I had my heart attack in September and feel that this is never ending and

Original arteries and CABG
Hi all. So im wondering what happens to the arteries that have been bypassed. I know they are still there, but are they functioning still? Or do they just dry up or something? I've Googled but cant find any answer. Thanks

Feeling positive
So 9 months after heart attack and stent treatment I'm now off 2 pills Colpidogrel and Ramipril. Still taking 3 but feel it's positive. Always been active and healthy and many hobbies so this was a mega shock. But now feeling great getting back to most of my activities and my lovely 9 month old border

Stopping Statins
hi guys after a year last year, of frightening chest pains and ? Heart attacks, going through umpteen tests and a stent procedure ( they didn’t put one in as my heart disease was not significant enough). I went from being on 5 daily meds for my heart to then being discharged completely with just taking

Has anyone else stopped taking a daily statin?
Hi everyone, I'm wondering if I'm alone in deciding that I no longer wish to continue taking statins? I'm into my ninth week of recovery following Bypass Surgery. I'm extremely aware that compared to a lot of people who have found themselves in my situation I'm blessed. The only fly in the ointment

Nervous about upcoming bypass surgery
Hello all. I’ve got heart bypass scheduled soon and worries are creeping in. It’s all happened really fast with me being in my early 40s and fairy active. Then being told post angiogram that a triple bypass is needed (mainly due to genetics I’m told). Any advice would be great.

Angioplasty not angiogram?
Hi all, as you probably know it looks like two of my bypasses have failed only 8 months after having 4 done😩. I’ve been under investigation and I was told last week they were getting me in quickly for an angiogram then decide the next step? Today I’ve had a letter saying I’m in on the 3rd March for

First post. LVT recovery and exercise
Hi all, been reading posts for the last few weeks and now plucking up courage to post myself. I had a HA on Xmas day while half way on a 30 mile ride. Hindsight says I shouldn’t have ridden home but I did, silly boy! Troponin of 4K+ suggests a bad one and ended up with one stent and, 2 weeks later,

Confused about reliability of visual fields tests results
Hello everyone,I'm feeling confused about how visual fields tests relate to real life experience of visual changes. I'm wondering how to communicate with consultants etc if what I experience, and what their tests say, don't match up. Today at my glaucoma clinic appointment I did a visual fields test

Symptoms a year after CABG, 20 months after Heart Attack.
I would be interested in the experiences of others relating to the aftermath of CABG surgery. Potted history: From around summer 2017 when aged 60, I started to feel a mild tingling and "tight" sensation sometimes under my left ribs, sometimes in my back around the same height. It continued on and

Struggling after heart attack and covid
Had a heart attack In September, did not have a stent inserted as hospital said that due to the ambulance taking 5 hours to arrive it was too late for treatment. Was recovering and getting stronger but then my husband caught covid and gave it to me. No longer testing positive but it is 2 weeks now

GTN Spray or tablets?...
Hi. I'm due to go away for 3 months to a very hot area without Aircon or refrigeration. I not on my GTN spray it has a temperature storage range and I'll not be able to meet that range - it will be too hot. Would I be better off with tablets? Incidentally I've not had to use the spray once since a stent
