Anyone experienced internal bleeding after taking Ticagrelor and aspirin at the same time?
I was taking these 2 drugs after a heart attack and a stent fitted in 2016 (Ticagrelor only for 1 year) without a problem. After a 2nd stent was fitted in late 2020, I experienced internal bleeding even though I was prescribed lansoprazole to protect my stomach. I stopped taking the aspirin and the

Spotty face
Hi I had a small heart attack in November 2020 and feel great after having a stent fitted. I’m on the usual meds and wondered if anyone has suffered with a really spotty face? I’m 61 and never suffered this badly in my teens! Could it be the meds? They also don’t heal quickly either due to the Aspirin

Fit healthy 50 year old woman starts running!!
I don’t enjoy running but recently started it again and now up to 4K each time. Just trying to improve my speed at the moment before I increase distance . It is the only thing that gives me comfort knowing that I don’t have any new blockages and that I am fine. I’m a 50 woman who was fit and healthy

Thoracic window
Hello there. Not been on here for a while. Following a nine year history of lung cancer and pneumonectomy I unfortunately had to have clagetts procedure last year which has now left me with a thoracic window. Having been reassured at the time that I would have a closure within months with a skin graft

Stent failing after few months .
My husband had two heart attacks within twenty months. Last one September 2020 he has been having some breath issues. We paid private for angiogram yesterday which found that he needed yet another stent which we believe was placed over the one done in September which was failing. They put in the

Can there be a delay in postcholecystectomy problems?
I had my surgery in October 2017 when I had a gangrenous gallbladder. It was open chest surgery and I had a stent put in my bile duct. I have been experiencing some pain by my scar site in the upper right abdomen and the abdomen feels swollen. I wonder if it can be connected

Heart failure
I had a heart attack three weeks ago and had a stent fitted. I have been referred to the heart failure team which I find terrifying terrifying. Does this mean what it says that my heart is failing?

Clopidogrel
I have had a 10mm stent put in to cover 2 x 90% blockage in same artery. I have been prescribed clopidogrel. I am feeling so tired and pains everywhere since starting them 5 weeks ago. Is this normal? Did not have any symptoms before stent and blockages only discovered during health check.

Too much iron
Hi all!! My hematologist hasn’t been able to get me in and I won’t see him till March 1st. I’ve been self injecting since I was diagnosed last year and was refused the amount of B 12 I needed because I always test too high and well, you know the rest. Between having all three MTHFR’s and being a gastric

Hike to Everest Base Camp anyone?
So I’m thinking of doing this as a bucket list dream - let’s say before I reach 60- I’m 54 this year. Had quadruple heart bypass 2 years ago at 51- anyone know of someone who has done altitude things post heart issue?

Heart medication
Good morning all, I had a cardiac arrest in 2017 in A&E waiting room. I was treated successfully and had the blockage cleared but no stent was inserted due to the artery being to narrow for a stent. Almost 4 years on I have now been told I am pre diabetic. I have come across some statements on Google
