Second stent operation.
Hi all So I had my second stent put it. This one was more difficult as the artery was blocked. Three hours it took to do but I am very happy with the results. Obviously the area is sore as the stent is settling but with you lovely people on this forum I am much more relaxed and ready to recover. Once

Hellish night
Recently moved from Kent to Peak District to be near family. Suitable hospitals are not near though!! Have CHD and stent and arrhythmia which, according to one cardio may become AF. After 2 hours of erratic heartbeat phoned 111 and got the advice I knew I would, as it wasn’t the first time, get to

Joint Pains
Hi all. I had a HA last year and a stent sorted the problem but they found a historic total blockage which required more work and this was undertaken in June this year. Three more stents and recovery was a bit slow but I’m getting there! In the past few weeks I’ve been experiencing joint pains in my

Slightly breathless and lightheaded
Hi I had an an angioplasty with a stent inserted to my LAD artery on 26 October 21. I had only had 2 episodes of what my cardiologist now thinks was angina and I also had burning pain lower neck/upper chest when walking fast. Since the angioplasty I find I'm more tired and find breathing harder when

Stenting my left Circumflex artery was unsuccessful
They were unable to stent my left circumflex artery via angioplasty 2 days ago. They would like to retry to drill out the plaque and then try stenting. How safe is this procedure?

Uric Acid stones
Chuck just had two kidney stones removed (one 17 mm and one 6 mm) and a stent inserted. Just got back the results and they are uric acid stones. Just read what can cause them on the dietary spectrum but wanted to find out if anyone else has had these on Xtandi, Eligard or Zometa? He’s had one before

Excessive menstrual bleeding
Hi, I'm new here after discovering I had a tight stenosis of my LAD artery last month. A big shock at 46. I had a stent inserted on 26/10/21 and am now on aspirin for life and Clopidogrel for 6 months. My last period was awful - on day 2, I leaked through super plus tampons and a sanitary towel plus

Due to have heart bypass on Wednesday. I usually wear crop tops but have been told to wear front fastening bras. Won’t it rub on scar?
Would appreciate any female related advice.

Slightly raised D-dimer post stent !!
3 weeks post stent I have a letter asking me to go for a CT Angiogram pulmonary this Sunday. I am somewhat surprised as the discharging doctor did not mention any of this, there is nothing on my discharge sheet and my GP knows nothing about it. The only hint was in the morning after my stent was fitted

I'm booked for an MRI Cardiac stress perfusion next week, what are your experiences of these scans?
I had a stent in May and was really well until September when my Angina returned with attitude. My Naproxen has been increased to 20 mg twice a day and 2.5mg Bisoprolal added. I'm experiencing daily pain and have had a couple of visits to A&E when the pain spread to my neck and jaw.
