Normal Reactions After Recent Stent
Hi All Two weeks ago I had a stent fitted after a heart attack two days prior, I’m getting myself into a bit of a state over something which I can only describe as pressure / mild discomfort in the middle of my chest Is this normal ???? Or am I causing this with my “am I going to die” scaremongering

Last procedure finally done

Proximal LAD Stenosis
Hi all, Had a CT Angiogram last week and just spoke to the GP about it yesterday. Apparently I have 50 percent soft plaque stenosis in the proximal LAD. Need to go for an angiogram to do more tests and they may fit a stent depending on the amount blood flow through it. Doc was pretty upbeat, said it

Chest pain
Chest pain I am almost 12 months post bypass surgery and my chest feels like it was yesterday??? Could this be the cold weather as I have recovered really well??? Anyone else find the cold weather a pain?

Cycle No More – or maybe?
I had my latest angiogram on Friday 5 mar, the result of which was that no additional stents were fitted and that no physical improvement actions were implemented. Although I was aware of the possibility that no improvements would be possible during this process I really was not mentally prepared for

310 Lb., 66 Year Old Man 11 Weeks After Cabbage.
I just signed up. I hope I can learn from all of you and contribute to the forum. I’ve had a couple of periods of time when I was in athletic tip-top physical shape at 210 lbs., but most of my life I’ve been a pig. I’m not a small fat man... I’m a stout large boned fat man... Based on many bone measurements

New to the ticker team.
Hi everyone. I think I have read just about every post and response now. Some inspirational stuff on here that has been reassuring to a recent recipient of LAD stent following anterior stemi and additional bystander disease. HA on 07.02.2021 out of the blue, boy did it hurt and I am not soft. Arterial

Racing heart beat wakened me up
I had my HA 4 months ago, had a LAD stent fitted and thought I was good to go. Horrendous side effects have finally settled but I've recently experienced heart beat of 111 that has wakened me from sleep and remained for two hours (this was the night of my covid vaccine) and also during my now regular

Stent
I had two stents last year and I have spasms. The medication I’m on has worked well until this week I am getting some chest pain. Nothing major but enough to be noticeable. Tonight I took some spray for the first time. Should I be worried?

Reduction in blood thinners
My Mam had a double heart bypass in July 2019 after CA and many HAs over a 6 year period. Her body just didnt like her stents! She has recovered well and is doing more more than I've seen her do in years, which is great. She has had her blood thinners removed from her med list, however is still on aspirin

I would like to apologise for my last post.
Driven completely by frustration, shortly after Christmas I posted that, such was the focus on COVID 19, in both the NHS and the private sector, the only way I was going to receive the bypass surgery I required was if I had a heart attack. It was an immature and insensitive post and one that I regretted

Covid vaccine list
If I have previously had a quintuple heart bypass where do I sit on the nhs rollout list for the COVID vaccine?. I have been diagnosed with coronary heart disease.

Routine check ups after CABG x5
I’m just asking out of curiosity - my husband had a quintuple bypass in Canada 2 years ago. We came back to the U.K. last August and gave the doctor all his records. Do people have annual checks with a cardiologist here or if you are ok is that it?
