Fat Feet
I see four doctors. Two neurologists--one for MS and one for PD, A cardiologist and a primary care doctor. All have their own schedules which don't coincide with mine so I see doctors every three months. A couple days ago I saw the cardiologist. He listened to my heart then ran an EKG then

what exactly does a stent involve?
Consultant has just copied me into letter to GP which seems to suggest that the choice is mine, to have or not, and I’m not clear what this would involve! 😬 Any advice, please?

Don't blame it all on the prednisone! Check things out.👩🏻⚕️ or 👨🏻⚕️
I'm writing to add a soft warning to be mindful. I was diagnosed with GCA in 2019 and finally got down to single digits this summer, I'm taking 5 mg per day plus Actemra. I'm only dropping .5 mg every six weeks. It has been fairly smooth except the fatigue, I did nothing and was [i]so, so tired![/

Just getting worse.
Hello everyone.I had a heart attack in August and had a stent fitted. This was all fine and I was discharged after a couple of days and was a happy man, feeling lucky and ready to get back to some sort of normality. However after a few weeks I had a setback when some nasty chest pains had me visiting

Beauty - laser treatments
Hi, Following my HA and stent in May 21 I have lost 2 stone, with a few more pounds to go! My son gets married next year and purely for vanity I am considering some laser facials which are supposed to plump up the skin and reduce fine lines, which are more prominent since the weight loss. Now I am

Come out feeling worse than when I went in!
Well following 8 months of worrying about having a heart attack, it’s happened. Admitted to hospital for a week, had angiogram which was the most horrendous experience but no need for stent as the culprit artery is too small to stent so prescribed a lot of medication. This was my second angiogram this

Losartan not effective
After my procedure with stent my doctor asked my GP to keep my BP at 135/80 on discharge note. I was on rampril 2.5 mg for sometime which was fairly successful for few weeks but then I had dry cough at nights and BP was also shooting up 150 /100 . When I spoke to gp (doctor) they changed it losartan

Worried
3 months after acute heart attack and stent I'm still short of breath if I do any walking. Is this normal? I quit smoking after 45 years.
