Cabg issues
Hi My dad went in to hospital for cabg last monday. He was so happy about getting it done so quickly. It was all good until he had an episode the following night, we believe a heart attack. He has damage now to his heart. He is still on a ventilator and they are trying to keep him stable. I am so scared

Not right after stent
Morning all does anybody feel worse after having a stent? I know I got severe coronary artery disease/angina but I felt pretty ok before I had this procedure and diagnosis, my heart feels like its aching all the time and I cant do much, before I was working full time at the gym 3 times a week.

No support
Morning all 6 weeks ago I ended up having a stent and diagnosed with angina all out of the blue, did have a bit of breathlessness and chest pain. Basically I was in and out of hospital within two days, loads of heart medications and basically left to get on with it, I've had no support, only now

Update
Just thought I’d give a little update! So I’d had a stent fitted to relieve a 90% blockage in my LAD artery in November 2021. I was therefore started on Prasugrel (antiplatelet med) in addition to the 75mg daily aspirin I was already taking. They then found I have a moderately leaky aortic valve. Being

Newbie and nervous
Afternoon from sunny Wales :) My husband had a heart attack 7 weeks ago, just unlucky they said, as hes normally fit, no diabetes, no family history. But he had a stent fitted. We've had another echo last week, and his ejection fraction had gone from 32.5% just after the attack, to 40%. He had a call

Happy anniversary
Well just thought I’d drop by and say happy 2nd anniversary to me. STEMI with sudden cardiac arrest x2 and luckily only 1 stent, called Bruce, fitted on 27 June 2020. Since my blip I’ve started hiking, completed the great Birmingham 10k, travelled to places I’ve always wanted to go, and generally living

Hello! Frustrated newbie here. Feel like i'm going crazy!
Hello all! I have been under the Endometriosis team for around 5 years now after getting mid cycle rectal pain which has progressed. MRI showed some indeterminate ?endo lesions behind the cervix and scarring on the ovary. I have had the Mirena coil which seemed to help for a short while, but the pain

Lump on my arm after angioplasty and stent insertion
Hi, I had a HA a year ago and underwent angioplasty where they put 4 stents in. After the op as they were relaxing the clamp on my wrist, I had a large loss of blood under the skin, they put pressure on the bulging area and all was fine. A few weeks later I spotted a small lump at the site of the blood

ADT options for BCR oligometastesis
Recent Auxmin and PSMA scans show that my husband has BCR oligometastesis (MRI shows nothing). It seems there are two different treatment options/opinions: 1. Lupron OR Eligard OR Firmagon OR Orgovyx for a few months and then radiation, then continue hormone therapy for 1-1.5 years 2. Lupron OR Eligard

Low blood pressure
Hi all, 1 year on from my stent and all going well, however for the past week, I've been getting dizzy spells. I went to my gp who diagnosed low BP and told me to keep hydrated and rest, which I have done but still getting the dizzyness. It feels like a very mild electric shock in my head sometimes

Slight swelling and pain in right hand one week post angiogram procedure. Should I be worried?
My procedure went well and I didn’t require a stent which is good news. I’m only needing to take statins. However 5 days post procedure I noticed the swelling on my forearm just above wrist ( opposite side of wrist to the wound site which is healing well). I did rest it post procedure followed all guidance

Monomil after stent?
Hi all, I had a stent fitted yesterday and the pharmacy discharge letter says that my monomil has now been discontinued. Is this normal? Will it do any harm if I continue to take it until I get clarification from the cardiologist? Cheers.
