Chest pains 9 months after heart attack
I had a heart attack and stent fitted last October and have been pretty good ever since. I’ve lost weight and started playing golf again. Things were good but then had bad chest pains 2 nights ago. I used GTN spray but was very dizzy, almost passed out and had severe sweating. By the time the ambulance

Angina
I had a successful stent procedure in LAD artery October 2019 and overall am keeping very well. However, every now and then I seem to experience a couple of days where I just feel under the weather and very, very tired ( like before stent) and I just wondered if others experienced this?

No input from hospital after heart attack and stent fitted.
Hi My Mum had a heart attack last summer and had a stent fitted. She was released from hospital on a Saturday afternoon with little information and has had no input from the hospital since... is this normal? I thought she would have had a follow up or at least a consultation on how to improve her lifestyle

Will I ever feel better?
After a STEMI heart attack in April (Troponin peaked at 92,000), I thought I was doing pretty well. Back at work full-time, exercising, it was all going fine. I’m “only” 50 and have teenage kids who want to do more than I’m able. Previous to the HA I was pretty well, despite having dilated cardiomyopathy

Seeking for morale support from fellow heart stent heroes!
Hello! I’m a 45 year old male had an angioplasty done last august. My road to recovery has been quite an emotional roller coaster ride.

Heart attack (Stemi) and unable to stent because of ectatic Coronary artery
Last August I had a STEMI. A heart attack which resulted in the complete blockage of the Right coronary artery. When they looked via the angiogram/angioplasty they found that the artery was ectatic. That means apparently that it is not uniform in cross section , and not smooth in end to end shape. They

Life has changed
I woke up 5 days ago worse for wear. I was agitated and couldn’t breathe properly. Two times this struck me. Around 5 am and 7am. The para said we’ll run you in just in case. My heart rhythms were fine but the hospital blood test revealed a heart attack. The angiogram revealed 2 main arteries affected

Coming out of lockdown with a new scar and feeling nervous
I'm new here so this feels a bit scary! Last autumn I had a bad bike accident, I went flying and the pavement took a lot of the skin from around my eye. I was sent to the burns unit and came home with two skin grafts on my face. They are healing well, but some days are really hard and it still shocks
