Heart attack recovery. Sweating on occasion after doing some walking etc
Hi looking for any help with hot flushes and sweating. Started just before my heart attack and also after I had a stent fitted. Only been nine weeks since heart attack happened. Hospital did tests when I was in recovery but still happening. Thanks

After C25K - what I’m learning
Much to my surprise, I graduated a couple of weeks ago (23 June ‘21) and could not have been more delighted. So, having achieved my goal I was determined to keep running. But how to do it? Firstly I have kept reminding myself how brilliant I feel after a run. Also, how much it’s changed and improved

Legs with little feeling, anyone?
Just wondering if anyone has a similar issue with their legs. I am 4 and a bit months past surgery of CABG x4 and I still don’t have much feeling around the incisions in my lower legs. The scars are healing fine, but the pressure from swelling in the ankles makes it feel like I am wearing ski boots,

Worried - Ureter blockage
Ureter blockage due to Radiotherapy damage 37 years ago is causing Kidney damage . Stent was unsuccessful and Surgeon now thinking Nephrostomy which is a tube going from your kidney to a bag. Totally debilitating . Has any one had any alternatives for the same problem ?

Wheezing/breathless post stent
First time posting :) I’m a 50 year old nurse with a recent stent placement in June. Probably similar story to many - had no idea I was experiencing angina. Thought I was unfit and breathless due to covid lockdown lack of exercise. Long story short, had a positive stress test, started rosuvastatin, aspirin

Lifespan of stents?
I had stents following major heart attack end of last year. While in hospital a few patients who had already had stents for a while were either being re-stented or given bypass surgery. I can’t help thinking about this and wondering how long stents can last - I recognise there will be differences between

High Cholesterol
Hi, anyone else experience high cholesterol despite having a healthy weigh/diet? I’m 35 and so not smoke. Currently feeling so anxious, my cholesterol is high 5.7 😢 the nurse further scared me by saying how this increases my risk of heart attack and stroke. I do experience chest heaviness and palpitations

Change of Lifestyle

Just wondered if anyone else has experienced similar? It could be a side effect of medication..or chronic indigestion. I had this checked out at
