Heart muscle repair
Hi My husband has been told that the artery, which is blocked solid is not worth putting a stent in as the part of the heart muscle is too badly damaged to make it worthwhile doing. However, the cardiologist has said that sometimes after a year or so the outer area of the muscle may self repair and

Insurance Renewal Costs
Hello everyone. I had a x4 CABG in June this year and am recovering very well (touch wood). I'm a seasonal ski instructor and regularly work in the Alps (Austria, Italy and Switzerland). I have professional insurance cover whilst teaching but that only covers part of the day. The rest of the day

Am I over thinking?
It has been many years since my SAH ruptured suddenly & I had emergency coiling, followed by a stent fitted a year later. Although it was traumatic at the time, for both myself & my family, I have been extremely lucky as I survived the 50/50 prognosis & had no physical limitations. It did take a couple

Shortness of breath post CABG
Good Morning, I really need some advice. My mum had Quadrupled last December. Over the past 3 weeks she has been experiencing shortness of breath and some pain over shoulder, neck and arm. It's not the angina pain she was getting pre surgery and only experienced some tightness around the chest area when

Very dry skin
Had HA and stent fitted last December. On aspirin, clopidogrel, bisoprolol, ramipril, atovorstatin, pantoprazole. Has anyone experienced very dry skin all over, especially on legs? I am using aqueous cream twice a day but skin keeps flaking off. Would one of these tablets cause this? Lily

CABG Lungs?
I am 8 weeks out from triple CABG and my lungs still are not giving me full breaths. When I breathe I can't take a full breath without some discomfort and when I walk up hills I have a hard time taking full breaths because it causes coughing. Can anyone normalize this for me?

HRT after heart attack
I came off HRT at the signs of my heart attack (as the leaflet said to stop with chest pains) and was since told by cardiology team that HRT wasn't the cause, I was just one of the unlucky ones at 49 years old. It has been 8 months since my mild heart attack with one stent fitted and I'm doing OK. I

Scared about being prescribed Clarithomycin for H Pylori
Hi, scared about the situation I am in and would appreciate people's thoughts. I had a stent fitted last December and have had pains in my chest which seem to be stomach related (after a lot of visits to A & E and a gastrocsopy). I had a gastroscopy in February which found I had erosive gastritis.

Lung transplant second opinion update.
Saw the very nice team at the Royal Papworth following the Harefields decision to delist me. Where do i begin? First of all what a place, futuristic, buzzing with energy and you just knew you were in a different league. They haven’t said yes but more importantly not a no either. Bottom line is they

The result was herniated discs and sciatica. I have just recently had another MRI and the result is mild wear and tear,

Gums and bleeding
Hi. I had a heart attack 5 weeks ago. All fixed now, stent fitted and drugs given. However, my mouth suddenly fills with blood at least 4 times a day? My gums are as white as a sheet. Has anyone else had this experience or know why? I have a dental appointment in a few weeks so I'm hoping for some answers

100% blocked artery
Hi My husband had a heart attack 2 weeks ago and was unable to have a stent put in the artery that was blocked. He is having an MRI scan next week and the cardiologist will see him the week after.
