Rotablation
Hi all. Well 4 1/2 years after my bypass surgery I found myself with similar angina pains although things went slightly differently this time. At first I think I was in denial about the pain 'was it imagined' 'was it indigestion'? In the end I could ignore it no longer so last Monday (18th) I phoned

Chronic back pain and pain relief?
Hi all Looking for some advice re pain killers for awful lower backache. I had a stent fitted in my LAD a year ago and on the usual meds ie Ticagrelor, Atorvastatin, Aspirin. Everything I read it seems I shouldn’t take ibuprofen only paracetamol which doesn’t touch the pain. Been seeing an osteopath

Lifestyle after stent.
Hi, I had a stent (LAD) 3 years ago no heart attack as symptoms were just tiredness. I am now 71yrs old and walk 5 miles daily. I am on diazapam 10 mg daily for over 40 yrs and that helps with any anxiety. I find it very difficult to stick with strict diets so basically eat what I did prior to the stents

2 weeks after stent insertion. What can go wrong?
First, thank you to all respondents to everyone's posts. You have been so reassuring / comforting at anxiety producing times. What can go wrong in the early weeks after stent procedure? I didn't have a HA but blockage was discovered. Straight afterwards the cardiologist said, ' blood flowing well, other

1 year since my Widowmaker update
Hi all, Yesterday I had my final check in with the Cardiology doctors and I’m in great health, my heart is strong, I feel strong and I’m now only taking aspirin and atorvastatin. A far cry from walking into A&E on 16/11/20 and suffering a STEMI which stopped my heart for 90 seconds. I was lucky that

Feeling a Bit Frightened and Anxious...
...and it's not even me. Tom, my husband of 50 years, is hitting a wobbly patch so I feel like sharing or offloading - so thanks for listening. His 'widow maker' heart attack was in February and the brilliant emergency services had him whisked away and stented (4) all within a few hours, home again

Statin reaction
This may seem petty and unimportant but two years ago I had a stent fitted as I had a blockage in my LAD . Every morning I take 75m aspirin and 40g Atorvastatin. I usually take these after breakfast about 9.00 the an hour and a half later I feel spaced out. At night I take ramipril and

LAD Artery
So it transpires that my 90% blockage that was treated with a stent on Friday was in my LAD artery! Otherwise known as the ‘widow maker’. Well that’s instilled fear within me straight away. My cardiologist only verbalised during the angiogram that one of my arteries was 90% blocked so needed angioplasty

Ptsd after stent heart attack.
After having a heart attack in mid August, I am suffering bouts of depression, crying and the feeling I could die at any moment. In town shopping I had a quite acute chest pain and then realized my GTNspray was at home. I panicked but after a while the pain subsided and I got home Then another sharp
