Fatigue and meds
Hi all, I had a heart attack in 2020, given balloon angioplasty and a stent, since then been on a morning dose of bisoprolol 1.25mg. I suffer very bad sleep patterns and fatigue, I read here some take it at different times yet my prescription just says "daily". Is it safe to try an evening slot? My other

Balloon but no stent
So a question: A friend has just had an HA with primary PCI (so suffered a STEMI i guess) but has just had balloon angioplasty without a stent for treatment. Reading up this seems uncommon with 80% of cardiac angioplasty procedures appatently resulting in a stent emplacement. I ended up with 6 stents

How long for stents to settle?
Hi, Firstly, sorry for the long post!

After talking to one of the GPs (never got to speak to the same one twice!

Ladies problems (comes with a warning of fairly graphic detail lol)
Hi all, Had my angiogram and stent fitted in my LAD (was 90% blocked) and started on daily aspirin, statin as well as an anti-platelet drug for twelve months. Since, when I’m having a period, I’m losing so much, the blood loss is constantly flooding my sanitary products, my underwear, through my clothing

Hi everyone, I’m new here and keen to find out what I can expect when I have bypass surgery in 2~3 weeks time. I went to the Dr in early September this year with some chest discomfort whilst walking uphill. I had an angiogram 3 weeks later and was told I had a blocked artery so needed a bypass. I’m looking
