No stent extra meds
After having a cardiology angiogram last I was told then by the cardiologist that I would need a stent but he would speak to colleagues. Then I got a letter to say I’m staying on my meds plus statin’s and aspirin. My finding were “Access was via the right radial artery. Results showed mild ascending

Can't take asprin after having stent, any alternatives
Hi guys my dad is going to have a stent fitted but is worried because he really can't stomach asprin, it makes him really unwell because of sensitive guts, but the doctor has said he needs to take asprin after having a stent does anyone know if there is an alternative, has anyone else had this trouble

Back home after spending 10 days in hospital after a TAK flare up.
Was admitted to hospital 10 days ago after a violent flare up from TAK. Screaming headaches, which led to some numbness down my temple, cheek and jaw and heavy arms and tingling in little fingers and chest pain. At first they thought I had had a stroke or a heart attack. Anyway after many scans and X-rays

Esld
I've had cirrhosis for a few years now. I've had 4 bleeds, the last one was gastric but the first 3 were oesophagal. The last one resulted in a TIPS procedure which i believe is a stent through the liver. Now been told i have esld and without wishing to ask a daft question, what is the likely outcome

Do I still have angina?
I was diagnosed with angina about 7 years ago and after quite a few lifestyle changes I had it under control....I haven't needed to use my spray for years. Three months ago I had a heart attack and had two stents fitted to my LAD, apart from a couple of minor issues with dizziness if I stand up too quickly

Does a triple bypass mean you no longer have heart failure?
I had a heart attack and a stent fitted in 2015, pulmonary oedema in 2016 then a triple bypass in 2019. I attend the Heart Failure clinic and am having shortness of breath, aching legs due to oedema and still have angina. Am l considered disabled? I struggle in various areas.

KIDNEY STENTS
Hello Everyone This is my first post to the forum but I have accessed the site on most days for the past few months and I have been impressed with the empathy , honesty shown and the advice provided by the community. My stage 3C OC journey echoes that of many of the group. I was diagnosed in November

Exercise and PVC's
I had a heart attack, caused by a clot according to my cardiologist albeit I have clear coronary arteries and no sign of CAD in the main arteries. I do have slight disease in one of the minor arteries but it is too small to stent and my treatment is medication only. Prior to heart attack I was exercising
