Want to share experiences.
I had bypass surgery Mar 4th 5 arteries fixed far bigger than surgeon expected. I am having bad pain on the leg that was the donar. Plus having nerve electric feeling saps in both legs. Also had cellulitis on donar leg. Looking to see similar experiences of others. I feel like I am alone out here.

A&E fiasco, palpitations, heart attack, bigeminy beats, back home for dinner.
Hi gang, Just had to put this one down for the historical record. Friday telephone appointment with cardio rehabilitation ( I have never seen anyone since leaving cardiology ward, only phone calls) conversation as normal except I had been having isolated missed heartbeat events, maybe 3 or 4 ocassions

Statin and liver damage?
I came online to see if anyone had odd liver tests from statins. Specifically atorvastatin. I had to go for an abdominal scan today and had a lot of blood tests, I’m on 40 mg of atorvastatin. And have been on them for nearly a year since I found out I had HD and had a stent last summer. I only had LFT

My cholesterol is now back on the high side however with overall being 5.8 with non

Stent fatigue
I had couple stents fitted Sept 2020 , after 1 month I developed a fatigue sympton in arms and legs which I still have 24/7, all blood tests come back clear and cardiologist insists it has nothing to do with medication or stent procedure ; has anyone else had this phenomenon and if so what did they

GTN spray for angina only?
Hi. Might seem like a stupid question but as I’ve had different responses from range of medics GP to cardio nurse I thought I’d ask here! Brief history - STEMI LAD October 1 stent. Clot in stent 4 hours later. November - ACS - angioplasty and stent RCA. December- angiogram and challenge test - MVD

Pains in chest
Was sitting watching tv last night felt pain in chest when I breath in deeply, and uncomfortable on moving, slightly to the left hand side of chest I can actually put a finger on the point that is painful, it feels like a rib rather than the heart. Had a HA and stent fitted early last May and another

How long did it take you to recover after heart bypass surgery?
Hi everyone I had emergency heart bypass surgery about 14 weeks ago. I have spent the “classic” 12 weeks off work, focused on recovery etc. Eating and sleeping is fine, and more or less adjusted to meds ok now. I also do the BHF cardiac rehab level 4 a few times a week, and try to walk about 5 times

The youngest in Walsgrave coronary care unit by far at the time. I missed all cardiac rehab due too covid closures, been blue lighted back in 6 times since because

Just one stent in a whole life ?
Is it possible a person has just one stent fitted and doesn’t need to have another one the whole life ?

Should I use GTN spray?
Occasionally I have ‘Pain’ (more like cramp) in left forearm but not in chest. I have recently diagnosed unstable Angina and 1 stent fitted and waiting for #2. Should I use GTN SPRAY?

Telling my car insurer about my recent cardiac arrest.
I went to A&E with chest pains on the 16th of April, where I was whisked to Wythenshawe University Hospital catheter lab, where I arrested and was revived after 8 minutes. A stent and a balloon and I'm fine again - walking, mowing the lawn and light cycling. Apparently I don't need to inform the DVLA

Asking a cardiologist to re-evaluate an angiogram? Possibility of something being overlooked?
I'm posting this to ask if anyone has had to have a second angiogram because the first may have overlooked something or something needs to be clarified? Hopefully the following will make what I mean clear. Apologies for the lengthy post though. In March this year I had a heart attack and after an angiogram

Heart Bypass
My partner had a quadruple bypass on the 12th March. He was home a week later, but since then he’s been having awful pain in his left shoulder and can’t sleep properly for it. Any suggestions?

Partially blocked arteries
Hi everyone, I had my ha just under a year ago had stent fitted straight away but angiogram showed 2 more arteries partially blocked and would need further stents After recuperation was sent for another angiogram but told could not fit stents in the partially blocked areas as arteries were too narrow
