It’s three years since I had a heart attack and stent fitted for a blocked artery. Im quite well but struggling a bit walking up hill and feel like I’m not getting enough oxygen.Am wondering if I should be getting any kind of follow up tests after three years to make sure everything is ok? Don’t want

Life Insurance Recommendation
Please can any members recommend a insurance company for life insurance. I'm a 50 year old male with no mortgage. I've had a heart condition since the age of two after receiving open heart surgery 1974 (Mustard Procedure) and in 2019 had a stent fitted to help blood circulation. Many Thanks, Paul

Dad has brain cancer, heart issues, and now PSA has increased. Concerned about medication complications..
Hello friends! It's been a long time since I've posted. It's hard to keep up with my dad's health on my end.. we've had so many close calls that his prostate cancer has felt like a bump on the head compared to all the rest of his concerns! So, to bring everyone up to speed as quickly as I can, dad

Use of ED ring
Hi All, I'm a new member to this group so I apologise if this question is a common one. Due to health reasons (hypertension and side effects from meds) I have suffered from ED on and off for years for which I used Cialis (20mg) which was usually effective. However, couple of years ago I was diagnosed

Dental Implants
I had a heart attack back in June last year, had a stent fitted and have recently had a crt d fitted last month. My question is, my teeth are in tatters and I may need to consider implants... will this be possible?

Unexplained symptoms after Heart attack
I had a heart attack in Aug 2020. Was in Cath. lab within 1 hour where they did an angioplasty and found Right Coronary Artery completely occluded. After 2 attempts they mostly cleared the clots, and put me on Rivaroxaban, clopidogrel, aspirin, bisoprolol. They could not put a stent in for technical

struggling to understand why!
hi I’m really struggling coming to terms with having a heart attack 2yrs ago at the age of 43. I’m a woman and told at the time they don’t know what caused my artery to collapse. I had a stent fitted. everytime I have back pain. Sore pressure like feeling in my neck. I think it happening again. Then

Failed CABG
Hi all. So just over two years ago I had a double CABG. I required a graft to my LAD and OM2 artories. Over the last 6 months I have been having some angina-like pains and have just had the results from a cardio CT scan which shows my OM2 graft has failed. However, the cardiologist reckons that this

issues 3 months after heart attack
My husband had a heart attack 3 months ago and a stent fitted. His recovery was going well but about 3 weeks ago he was getting really tired and no energy and had a couple of vasovagal episodes on exercise . These happened at cardio rehab and an ambulance was called and visit to a&e and they said it

Trial for efficiency of stents versus placebo
2 weeks post angiogram/ angioplasty for the orbita trial. Obviously i don't know at the moment whether I had a stent, but things looking good angina wise at the moment. Managed a couple of brisk walks this week without any angina pain, so hoping I was one of the percentage who got a stent. Bruise

Who do I contact?
my LAD is 90% blocked. They’re unable to stent. After a stress test in an MRI a member of my consultants team phoned. He asked if I had any symptoms, I said no. He asked if I was still taking all the medications after a stent was put in another artery. I said I was. He asked how I felt about that? I

Statins and coffee
I've just a read a line in a piece supposedly in the Daily Express that says coffee might reduce the protective effects of statins. I don't drink lots of it - usually no more than 3 - 4 in a day plus a tea of ordinary instant coffee plus the occasional small ground coffee from a coffee shop, plus a normal

Got the Second Opinion
And I am SO glad I did! In a prior post, I had told about events leading up to a cardiologist getting snippy with me because I questioned the need for an ablation. The more research I did the more convinced I became that my gut feeling was right and I set up an appt. with a different doctor. Monday

Yikes Prescribed Praluent injection!
Hi. Statins give me bad muscle pain and as I have Fibromyalgia I think the pain is worse. I was referred to the Lipid clinic and put on Ezetimibe with 5mgs of Rosuvastatin but I couldnt cope so I took Ezetimibe on its own but my number only came down to 6.1. It had been 8.5. Now they want me

tight proximal disease
Hi
I’ve just had a letter detailing the results of my angiogram and confused with the terminology.
Can anyone explain the term ‘tight’ as in tight proximal disease. I have had two stents fitted 17 years ago and this appears to be following the area of one of the stent s in the LAD
