Shortness of breath on Ramipril
Hi Has anyone suffered from shortness of breath from Ramipril? I have been taking them since my HA in Oct 2020 and stent fitting. However, I thought my shortness ofbreath was due to my heart failure, but I actually saw a cardiologist this week for a follow up who gave me eneplenone (sorry about the spelling

Raised Bilirubin level
Dear Hearties, I had a heart attack 3 years ago. I was fitted with a stent and I am taking a cocktail of medicines after that. They are Atrostatin 80mg, Losartan and Bisoprolol. I have been told by GP that my bilirubin is high. Is this could side effect of the above drugs? I also use Paracetamol 2 tablets

Trying to cope after HA
Hi all - new here Had a HA last week (at a young age of 37!) here with 2 stents and a balloon angioplasty on my LAD. Apparently due to my age and lack of apparent risk factors, ,my case was pretty unusual and discussed within the cardio team. Having never been in hospital as an adult (nor even blue-lighted

HI my friends! I have now seen my MPN specialist twice. I was back to see him in Nashville on November 29. My diagnosis has changed from ET to PV which is what I kept thinking (since April)! My HCT was at 47.5, so I had my first phlebotomy of 500MLs. Yahoo! I had been begging my previous Dr to do this

Iron? Cause for concern?
Aug 14, 2014 I had Gastric Bypass Surgery. At that time I was told by my Surgeon I had a Fatty Liver. I was told that the Gastric Bypass should help to stop the fatty liver an might even allow it to heal. Then I was prescribed a Vitamin plan by my Gastric Bypass Surgeon. I was told this is because of

metal vs plastic ureteral stents
I just had removal of bilateral stent placed in Sept.2021-- the urologist mentioned the possibility of stent failure requiring nephrostomies-- he said he didn't have experience with metal ureteral stents which I inquired about thinking they would withstand the cancer should the tumor grow--- I have

Scared again
I was diagnosed with CHD in 2017 and had one stent put in LAD. I had been experiencing very mild exertion chest pain. Since then I have had not pain, that is until very recently. On walking uphill, I get very mild pain which I have only just had the courage to confirm as angina by using my GTN, which

BY Pass surgery coming in February. Recovery time ?
I am Philip. Britsh but living in Riga, Latvia . 79 Yrs old. Was rushed into hospital in August after heart attack and a Stent was put in on the most serious blockage. Three more to come ! Doc said a week in hospital then probably 3 months gradual recovery to get back to normal. Is this right ?

Any substitutes for h. r. t, since I have a stent???
I'm Bieng told it's a year's wait for an appointment with a gynecologist, which is needed for a refferal to prescribe an h. R. T. Alternative? Has anyone, does anyone know a safe alternative to hrt as my flushes are frequent and unbearable?

Roller coaster mind set
Hi, I am a new joiner, I am 60 and retired from a high pressured and demanding job 2 years ago. I had a heart attack in May 2021 which resulted in one stent. Initially I was very shocked, then the fear, then relief I was fixed. I adjusted very quickly and within one month was back to walking 5 miles

It's back...again
Very briefly: Dad has squamous cell nsclc. He had upper right lobectomy December 2019 and given all clear.. Aug 2020 came back in mediastinal lymph nodes causing SVCO.

Calcium products and calcification of coronary artery,

Reason for losing weight
Hi There It is now 5 weeks since my HA, angiogram, and 1 stent, and am doing well, in fact, back to normal. I am still tweaking my diet to make sure my intake is healthy and I only have one query. I have lost about 5lbs in weight, and I put this down to a couple of things, right or wrongly. I have
