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

Small lump at radial artery site for stent catheter
I have a stent fitted last Friday and I have just noticed a small lump with a pulse near the entry site for the catheter in wrist. Is this a normal thing and do it require any treatment ? or will it go away on its own.

Gabapentin
Hi everyone. Does anyone have experience with gabapentin for anxiety and depression? Some background. My Father passed away in March 2022, which left me devastated. I was then diagnosed with a heart condition requiring a stent. Since then I have really been struggling. I used to be very fit and active

Orbita trial.
Well have a date (2nd March) to find out if I had a stent as part of this trial. It's been an interesting few weeks lately as have had an orthopaedic appointment ( for knee) and the colonoscopy and haven't been able to say whether I have a stent or not, at least I will know now.

Bypass next week
Hi, I am going in for a CABG (sternotomy) in 9 days time, I had a double bypass via a midcab 5 years ago which didnt fully work so here we go again. On my previous op I was discharged with large dressings which I wore for a few weeks, but reading the paperwork I have been given it says I will be discharged

That chest pain for years and years really was something after all!
Do you have unresolved, mystery chest pain? After years of going to the doctor, cardiologist, and ER with chest pain and having the doctors sort of patiently put up with me and tell me the tests didn’t show much—even putting me on blood pressure meds in order to do something for me (even though I didn

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

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.

IVIG after heart surgery and stopping IBRUTIMIB
12 months ago I was on an Ibrutinib clinical trial for my CLL. Ibrutinib worked great for me for years. I found out I needed a triple bypass due to 95% LAD artery blockage. Not good! A stent wasn’t an option in my case due to necessity for blood thinners. Can’t do blood thinners, aspirin and Irbutinib

just had stent fitted
I would like some feedback on timescales to get back to good level of activity post stent procedure?, I had it fitted after investigating a year long angina diagnosis, up until a week before the op I was playing golf 3 times a week and wondered how long to get back to that level if not better.

How far to push yourself.
I recently had a heat attack whilst abroad on New Year's Day, and had fantastic treatment and from arriving at the hospital to the operating table was just 90 mins. Had a stent inserted and sent home after 4 days. Then told to contact my GP back in UK, to get a referral to get cardio rehab.. Got a letter

Clopidegrol or Ticagrelor
I have asked my GP to review my medication since my HA and stent op in Sept 2022. I am on the usual Asprin Ramipril Ticagrelor Bisoprolol Atorvastatin. I have been getting burning arm pains since then. He only suggested changing Ticagrelor to Clopidegrol. I am really in confused state as to whether to
