Hi. I really need some help:advice. I had a massive heart attack out of the blue 5 months ago. I live near a very good specialist hospital and was lucky enough to get rushed to hospital for emergency pci. I had one stent fitted. A few hours later a blood clot developed in the stent so had to have another

I’m looking for some reassurance please.
Four weeks ago I had quadruple heart bypass surgery, I am just at the start of week five post surgery and I’m struggling. The recovery is a lot slower and more challenging than I ever imagined. I feel permanently sick, can’t taste food, can no longer drink tea or coffee, am always tired and it takes

Problem with new oesphageal stent fitted
My husband had an oesophageal stent fitted 3 weeks ago. It has not eased or helped any of his previous symptoms, if anything he is worse. Bad cough, sick every day, nothing stays down, on soup and custard only. Losing weight, lethargic, had an infection and on 7 days of antibiotics which has helped

Episodes of strange imagery
Hello everyone, My brother (63) had a serious heart attack 5 weeks ago, had a stent fitted and then placed in ICU for 6 days on a ventilator and sedated. He is still recovering slowly in hospital and is now waiting for a neurological assessment with more physiotherapy. He is mainly lucid but has

Scared
Hi, I’m feeling scared at the moment. I had a stent fitted in November after suddenly developing unstable angina in October. Apparently I had a mild heart attack. The angiogram showed Proximal stenosis on Ramus intermediate-stent inserted Moderate mid vessel disease in LAD-negative IFR Diffusely mildly

DVT in Left Iliac Vein
Hello Beautiful Ladies.I was diagnosed with Ovarian Ca 18 months ago. I actually have no ovaries as they and the tubes were removed 10 years ago due to benign cysts. So it turned out to be peritoneal Ca. Same tissue apparently. It has been a rocky road - 6 months of chemo and Avastin last year. The

Nearly time for me to come off my blood thinner. 12 month post MI. One stent. Wondering whether to expect any reactions.Is it a gradual stopping of the medication or will it be stopped straight away.

Unlucky 13 and minus 7’ outside!! 🥶
Today is 13 weeks after my heart bypass, unlucky for me a snowy, cold, icy start to WK2 Run1 of the C25K programme. 💪 I completed my run but my hands were frozen by the end!!! Managed the longer duration running periods OK but found it difficult to concentrate on the new breathing technique introduced

On the edge with too many decisions
Long story, some venting, need input. Some of you have followed my story of my major car accident last March. It was the other driver’s fault, but I was really hurt. So, on top of COVID-19, I was hospitalized alone, had no job, and spent 9 moths in physical therapy only to have them tell me they have

Off meds but anxious 😟
Hi all. I have been off Azathioprine and prednisolone since April 2019. Whilst I’m glad I’m not on them I feel vulnerable and anxious about relapsing. (I was taken off them due to adverse side effects) At the time my consultant felt that as I was doing well without them there was no need to put me on

Headaches are awful
Hi everyone, firstly can I just say that before my operation I have waited in the wings reading a whole lot of inspirational posts and a bit of reality what to expect. I had an unruptured left middle cerebral aneurysm which was an incidental find from an MRI scan on my shoulder. My aneurysm was treated

Angina
Hi all, Can I ask what your angina pains you get, as I am having different pains recently like electric shock to the heart they only last for a second, the other night I had about 8, I took gtn and the pain did go eventually. My doctor at the hospital said that shooting pains are not a symptom of angina

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
