Oesophageal stent
Hi My mum has just has a stent fitted, it’s been 8 days now and she has terrible pains and nausea so bad that she can’t eat, she had to be admitted to hospital for an IV. She is back home now but is still suffering from the same conditions, I was wondering if anybody had any advise or has had this treatment

Have you had an endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage? Request for help from National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE)
Bile is a fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gall bladder that aids in the digestion of fats. Biliary obstruction is when the channels carrying bile from the liver and gall bladder into the small intestine (bile ducts) become blocked, and is most commonly caused by tumours or gallstones. This

Anxiety Struggle
Good morning, well here goes another day. As soon as I wake up I think I can hear my heart pounding and just seem anxious all day. I was taken off Citalopram back in March following a heart event (not a heart attack but diagnosed with CAD with a narrowing in my LAD, no stent needed at the moment). I

Hi everyone! My husband was prescribed Leaquin after stent replacement. I forgot the equal antibiotic that you all recommended and tried to ask the doc but he looked at me like I was just plain old stupid! Feeling tired and frustrated, sitting here with this prescription in my lap. Thankyou to all

Psychological support after CABG
I was wondering how I can help my husband to get over the trauma of what he went through. He just had a bypass at 42 years and this is making him realise how limited his life span is. I know he tries to be positive, but he cannot help but think about what he thinks is his "impending doom" . He said that

Bronchitis, hospitalization and pancytopenia
hi everyone, I am currently on peg 45mcg/week and somehow got a nasty bronchitis that I was unable to shake. I was sent by my GP to the hospital ER to receive IV antibiotics and they decided to admit me because of my past history of having a heart attack and current stent (that’s another story). While

Medications side effects continue
Hello everyone, I hope your weekend is going well. I am now nearing 6 months post CABG x 4 and still struggling with nausea and vomiting from some of the meds. I was changed to Clopidogrel from Ticegrelor, and am also on Nebivolol. I can’t tolerate the statin tablet so that is an ongoing conversation

How difficult is it to diagnose Adenomyosis?
Hello, I hope you are all well and surviving the heatwave! Long story, but for 6+ years I have been experiencing worsening gynaecological pain. This started during ovulation and was a fullness within the pelvis and sharp pains within the rectum and to the lower right of my back/abdomen. Gynae referred

6 month study for use of stents versus placebo effect
Had the angiography/angioplasty friday. Obviously don't till the end of the 6 months whether I had a stent or not. Procedure went well not to uncomfortable just felt a bit of tugging. Choice of music to listen to. Problem after as groin incision decided to seep so ended up having injection to tighten

medicine just dropped, no doctor consult
it’s a year since bypass surgery and my repeat prescription has Ticagrelor missing. I talked a receptionist (can’t get even a doctors consult phone call until 9 August!) Has anyone else had the same … receptionist told me that Ticagrelor was only to taken for 12 months but you would have thought a doc

Down hearted
This is going to be long winded but it is getting me down. Those of you who have read my posts will know that in 2020 i had two stents fitted one in each artery which led to so many things appearing, frozen shoulder in one arm tennis elbow in the other. Due to walking as part of my rehabilitation i found

Vasculitis vs arteriosclerosis, getting pregnant after a CABG and statin/diet questions!
Hi! I’m 34 and have just had a CABG, I’m 6 weeks post op and feel almost back to normal. Yes, I know, I’m young and have bounced! They think that my coronary arteries were damaged by vasculitis I (might) have had when I was 19, it wasn’t diagnosed at the time as I had just classic viral symptoms although

Aspirin doseage
I have taken aspirin and Clopidogrel since my HA and CABG last May. I buy aspirin, save the NHS a few pennies, and I inadvertently bought 300mg instead of 75mg. 🤷♀️ So this morning I broke one in half and took 150mg (I tried quarters but ended up with crumbs 😂) I can’t get to the shops until Monday

overwhelmed
Lockdown and last child leaving for uni caused loneliness and the inevitable comfort eating. I went to doctors with heartburn and discovered it was a HA - stent fitted and new tablets I went home and within days was readmitted with biliary sepsis and statin related hepatitis. Then I went to Mexico
