Making Progress
Just over 3 and a half months ago, I had bypass surgery. It was unexpected having no symptoms and it being found whilst volunteering for a medical trial. At the time, I thought life would be over and that everything would need to change. And it did for a bit. I found myself unable to do things, things

painkiller recommendations?
hi all, I hope everyone is okay. I’ve been struggling with chronic daily pain, I have severe endo which has caused one of my kidneys to fail and so I have a stent in my left kidney to help it drain. This contributes to my pain but it is mainly a deep ache in my hip, pelvis and abdomen which I’m sure

micro vascular angina good news!
Hi All, I hope everyone’s doing well! I was walking on the beach with my wife and suffered a crushing chest pain (worse than the pain I had had with my previous two MI’s) shortness of breath and sweating. I used my GTN spray twice but it had no effect. I was blue lighted to hospital. All test proved

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

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

Overdue update on CAD issues
Hi All. About this time last year I had angina symptoms returning after having had a double bypass in Feb 2020. A cardiac ct scan showed one of my graphs had failed and I said I would update when I knew more.Sadly, it's taken a long while to get a diagnosis but found out today I need a stent. Not great

2nd HA Anniversary - and back to the same spot
Well that’s been an excellent day. 2nd anniversary of that bloody heart attack, and I’m back to ride that same climb up pigeon brow, all upwards of winding goat track! So had fun in the gnarly downhill single track bits, back down the Ramble del Canar, then retraced our route and off for a great Sunday

trabeculectomy
I am reluctant to have a trabeculectomy after cataract operation and I stent did not help and glasses cannot correct vision to read. My left eye is better following same operation about two years ago.

Almost 1 year after heart attack and this happened........
Hi, so last February I had a minor heart attack and had a stent fitted. It was a shock as I was only 45. I've had the odd twinge every now and then but generally things are ok. Last week I was driving in my car when I felt a sudden bout of chest pain - it was quite specifically in one area and

Accelerated Cholesterol Buildup Leading to Second Stent in 6 Months
Hi, I had a stent fitted about 6 months ago and was told that I would probably ned a second one fitted in 10 year in another artery. However after having a number of chest pains I was readmitted on 1st Jan and had a second one fitted. Has anyone had an experience of such accelerated build up and what
