Viagra/Cialis after heart attack
Viagra/Cialis after heart attack, opinions please Having been discharged from Cardio rehab, my last conversation with my very helpful and amazingly knowledgeable nurse was consider Viagra even if I didn’t have any issues. She suggested that I take some time to do some research. I have mentioned this

Newbie Guidance Please
Hi everyone. Apologies in advance, but I have tried searching for the answers before posting but I got a little overwhelmed. I had a HA 9 days ago followed by 1 stent being fitted, with maybe another in the next couple of months. I have 3 areas I would value your guidance on: 1. Acid reflux discomfort

Counting down the days till the op.
Hello, Any advise would be welcome. As a couple we are now waiting for my husband to have double heart bypass surgery on 10th June. Every morning waking up to the reality is hard. The physical tips I’m reading is helpful but how do you recognise the emotional side is getting to much and seek help.

Ranexa
I’ve been taking Ranexa. 8 months after a triple bypass I had an “episode” had my grafts checked out all ok. It seems I have a fourth artery that really required bypass or stent but it was decided it was too thin for work. Decided to use meds instead hence Ranexa. Up to the episode I felt great. Travelled

Bypass or not?
I am 78. I first noticed I had Angina 10 years ago. An angiogram showed two totally blocked arteries and the third struggling. It was not possible to stent them. The angina almost went away completely when I was put on Ranexa. Since then I have been diagnosed with CHF somewhere between stage 2 and

Bowel prep for colonoscopy - long post. Sorry.
Hi. I thought I would kick off with the dreaded bowel preparation (clearing) required prior to having bowel examinations or surgery. There are a number of products (some branding names vary between USA and UK). So, this is my journey this year: Needed a colonoscooy as well as Upper GI Endoscopy so appointment

Regular episodes of unstable angina
Hi, I had an MI in 2018 which required a stent; up until a few months ago things were pretty good however since April I have had to attend a/e for chest pains and told it is unstable angina. My ecg, bloods and another angiogram do not show a new heart attack (which I am really pleased with) but I am

Unstable angina
After having a stent fitted in the LAD artery 6 months ago and feeling really well, I now have a slightly uncomfortable tightness in my chest. It’s there most of the time, definitely not the pain of angina, just an awareness. Anyone else had this ?

Sauna/ Steam room/ after bypass.
Hi everyone, hope everything is going ok. Just wondered if anyone who has had a triple heart bypass has been told not to use any of these? Also thinking are you aloud to use a hot tub? Just thinking, as I would like to possibly join a health club. Thanks.

It's exactly a year since my quadruple heart bypass...what a year!
I haven't posted apart from the odd reply for quite some time but now I've reached a milestone, 1 year since my operation which is also pretty much 1 year in lockdown. When I left hospital it was barely 2 weeks before we went into national lockdown and from that point onward there were just 4 weeks in

Stent
Hi all, I am 68 year old woman. I had a stent fitted in LAD 25-05. Experienced a lot of discomfort, went back into A&E bloods done. ECG, Scan etc. All fine. Still getting discomfort now. Freaking me out. Is this normal!

Scared!
Over the last year I have been getting palpitations and feeling out of breath more easily than I think I should for my age - I am only 49. In recent months I've noticed a tightness in my chest when I walk for more than 10 minutes walk quick, up hills or up and down stairs too much or too quick running

Blocked Artery
I had two unsuccessful attempt to fit a stent. Is there anyone else out there who is managing on medication with a totally blocked artery and if so how are you managing?

Pelvic lymph node pathology is in.....
My MO called today and told me: "The biopsy/pathology folks at first were confused, they thought for sure is was metastatic PC. But they finally agreed it was either bladder cancer or rectal cancer, which by the way, was probably caused by the 37 doses of radiation after RP." So now its surgery through
