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

Eight months into good heart recovery and then , surprise surprise, hello Parkinsons! How does one affect the other?
Have any of you experienced both? I doubt it's good news, I imagine a battle between my recovery - very good so far - and PD. With 2 new valves an Atriclip and a CABG, I was told to expect 18months for recovery (thats confirmed in scientific papers) so I'm wondering who's the hare and who - or what

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

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

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?
