Recuperation
Hi I had a qaudruple heart bypass on 03 December 2021, it's now almost twelve weeks since the surgery and I feel fit and well. I walk regularly between 12,000 to 15,000 steps each day. I'd like to start playing double tennis again, but I'm a little concerned how it might affect my sternum. Is there

Heart attack whilst abroad
Hi I’m new to this forum. My son and his partner have been holidaying in Tenerife. My son who is 32 yrs old suffered a heart attack and had a stent fitted. He’s on medication but not sure what. He’s still on an intensive care ward 12 days later due to concerns about low blood pressure which they seem

Raised alt liver function blood test
Hi has anyone had a raised alt level on liver function blood test? I had a mild HA in October with 1 stent. Have you found it has been to do with the statin? I've never drank or smoked.

Breathing and Coughing post CABG
I need a little help from my HealthUnlocked friends. I'm 5 weeks post CABGx3 and still experiencing both a lot of breathlessness and intermittent coughing. When I try to breath too deeply I begin to cough ... very uncomfortable. What is your experience of recovering from breathlessness? What breathing

Hi all Well what a week that was had a ERCP on the transplanted liver graft , which I received pre covid thank goodness in March 2019 So had a stent put in on a narrowed bile duct and to say it hurt is an understatement, they sedated me but the pain was almost unbearable to a degree that I nearly had

I’ve been reading the posts about vitamin b12 and restenosis. I’m looking for good recent research but can’t find any. Anyone got a link?
I’m on b12 injections. I’ve been on a PPI long term which can reduce your absorption of b12. I have 1 stent now and so far have continued with the injections. I’ve seen a 2004 report and read it’s controversial. This report didn’t look at b12 supplements alone. Any suggestions about where to get some

Tiredness
Morning, had a HA last August and had a stent fitted. Was tired for a year or two leading up to it, but still very tired. Any thoughts please?

Abraxane/Taxol, mixed response and what are they draining?
Hi lovely ladies, I recently posted about cannon balls in my abdomen, it turns out I’ve been growing a cyst which oncologist thinks could be a reaction to chemo, undecided as yet. (Only took 6 weeks to eventually examine me!)) Onc said Cyst needed draining but hospital admission letter for tomorrow

Having a tooth out
I am going to have a tooth extraction the dentist was worried that I am still on blood thinners to help with my stent fitted in April 2021 ( coming off these tablets which I take twice a day end of this month) The tooth is a large tooth at the back as I said the dentist was worried about the bleeding

Use of Clopidogrel
Can you use clopidogrel 75mg instead of aspirin 75mg for mono antiplatelet therapy for long term use ( many years) after stent ?

Vitamin B and stents
Good morning all, I had a heart attack last year and had two stents fitted, I'm pleased to say I'm completely over it and until a couple of months ago life was brilliant. Two months ago I ruptured a disc in my back, the pain was unbelievable when it happened as the rupture had apparently trapped the

Should I feel better by now?
Hi All, I am wondering how people generally feel after a stent procedure. Three weeks on I don't feel as good as I felt before (I didn't have any symptoms particularly) and am getting mild chest pains/tightness and a need to rest if I do anything slightly physical. I am not breathless but every now and

Norovirus and meds
Morning hearties, I am now on day 3 of an aggressive bout of norovirus. Without being too graphic, I’ve not been able to keep anything inside, as soon as I take the meds they are back out again. I’ve been on the normal cocktail of drugs since my HA and stent 10 months ago. My heart rate has gone to
