PAD after Pmr
Hi, I just wanted to share what's going on as I've been so worried and upset. I know I've no right to be, I'm fine compared with many of you, but...So I've nearly come to the end of my Pmr...although I don't like saying it in case I jinx it and it flares! I'm on .0.5 pred, and feel fine apart from being

Varicose Veins ( Heart Related question )
Just a question Has anyone noticed new Varicose Veins in the leg that the Vein for Heart Bypass was harvested? My bypass was 2015 and they used the vein from my left leg as part of the procedure, I have noticed recently a couple of Largeish Varicose Veins in the leg that the vein was taken from. I

Father not waking up after septic shock
My beloved Dad (72) survived a severe septic shock. They called us 3 Weeks ago after a routine bile surgery and told us that he is now in the ICU. They told us he had internal bleeding and they needed to perform surgery on him. We were shocked and prayed that night that everything would go well. He survived

Tale of woe, sort of
I've been on ticagerol 90 and other meds (bisoprolol, aspirin, Losartan, etc) since my heart attack in May 2021, with second stent inserted via rotablation in Nov 2021. The surgeon said to continue the blood thinners for a year. I was originally treated at Luton and Dunstable hospital (L&D), and the

Lovely topic!!! Constipation
morning Recently had heart attack and now recovering at home after stent insertion and on the routine meds Any advice for constipation not normally an issue will this be an ongoing problem as a side affect of meds or will it improve as time goes on and activities increase? Diet and fluids are good

Angiogram vs Angioplasty
I have had 6 stents and triple bypass. Each time I had a stent put in, they started out as angiogram and became angioplasty, each time they went in they put in a stent if needed, except that one time when I needed bypass. Now my Cardiologist wants to do an angiogram, then discuss his findings with me

Let's Talk Kidney Issues
I had a stone removed from my right ureter 2 years ago; the preceding and subsequent CT scans showed stones in both kidneys. 6 months ago I went in for a follow up CT and found a stone completely blocking the left ureter (no pain). Surgeon removed the stone it but the kidney is only functioning at 18%

Morning!
Good morning from foggy Warwickshire.I posted recently about delayed follow up appointment after ablation in June and the Idiot GP who advised me incorrectly to stop heart meds in order to prescribe a wider range of painkillers( resulting in 24 hour AF episode) Finally got a call yesterday from appointment
