Hi everyone I am new here and I am so glad to have found this forum. I am 65 and never had a heart problem in my life until March this year. I was at work and had a heart attack. While in hospital I had another heart attack. I was moved to another hospital where I had an angiogram and angioplasty

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

Waiting times for bypass surgery

Heart medication and CBD oil
Hi - prior to my heart attack and stent placement I took CBD oil on a regular basis - 2-3 drops twice daily. I did sone research, joined a CBD group and am now a member of the admin team. Whilst taking CBD I was able to stop my pain meds and tapered and eventually came off my anti-depressant medication

Stat bike exercise?
Today was a visit to the cardiologist. Two years ago I had 100% obstruction of the LAD, one of the major arteries feeding the heart. It was cleaned out then a stent put in. Lately I've had chest pain similar to the pain from the obstruction. But a recheck says the arteries are still wide
