Can't get a quote for Holiday Insurance until I specify what the medication I'm taking following Bypass surgery is for.
Hi 🤗 Everyone, I've just tried to nail down a Holiday insurance quote but I've hit a brickwall and was hoping that I can tap into the wealth of knowledge of my fellow Hearties. On the 26th September I had double Bypass Surgery. What with lockdown and my diagnosis of a severe Stenosis on the LAD

Stopping Clopidogrel
I've been told to stop Clopidogrel after 12 months since getting a stent.Just 2 days after stopping, I'm getting severe pain like heart attack. I have unstable angina and glyceryl nitrate spray didn't help .took aspirin too as usual. I'm not sure if withdrawing Clopidogrel has caused this. Anyone experienced

Orbit trial
Formally discharged from the trial and referred back to G.P. Letter also sent to cardio rehab team.

Angioplasty tomorrow...in urgent need of advice asap pls
Hi all angioplasty booked for tomorrow but not sure if I should go ahead with it or just cancel. Reason for procedure: Doc wants to investigate extent of artery blockage in order to prescribe flecanide medication for afib. If blockage is severe he will fit a stent during the procedure. Got quite a shock

Failed angioplasty/ stent placement
Has anyone ever had a failed angioplasty when attempting to put in stents in an occluded vein? If so- has there been a second attempt? Was it successful? Thanks

Stopping me breaking something returning to racing
Thanks to the encouragement from members of this forum I am now back up to parkruns again. I am now looking to enter club 10k races. I am speaking to my GP next week and ideally I would like to get their clearance, or a cardiologists, on how hard I can push myself. The surgeons did a good job and I
