Popliteal Artery Stenting - success or nightmare?
Hi, I have developed intermittent claudication in my right Popliteal Artery just behind my right knee - pretty much where the knee bends and can only walk short distances before pain kicks in. I am 68 years old, just retired and am an ex-mild smoker. Has anyone had a Stent placed in this particular

Massage for Relaxation
Just wondering if others have been in my position. I had an NSTEMI in late December and had a stent fitted. Before then I would have a regular massage as a monthly treat.I asked the Cardiac Nurse today if I could start them up again and she said that the relaxation benefits probably outway any potential

Tired!
Hi everyone, I had an ST STEMI three and a half weeks ago. Stent fitted. I have the usual medication for an MI, however, I am so tired, all the time. Is this normal? Is it the medication do you think?

Severe Proximal RCA Disease and Moderate LAD Disease - Updated
Good morning, I had a follow-up appointment this morning with the cardiologist, I'll need to wait for the consultation letter for the details, this is what I know. I have coronary heart disease, and it's worse in my right than the left, apparently that's good. They don't know what to do with me as I

Has this happened to anyone else?
Good Morning, Yesterday I got up from the chair and took a few steps and suddenly I started to shake but it was more like I was being rattled or severe shivering without being cold It only lasted a few seconds but it did quite scare me. I had a HA in April last year and had a stent then another episode

clopidril
I have been on Clopidril since having 4 stents in 2015 then a by pass in my leg. I then had another stent fitted in 2022. Further investigations found narrowing of the arteries in my other leg. I believe the clopidril is causing the hot sweats I have been having for years. I am wondering whether I have

still getting angina
in Sept, 2023 I had a pacemaker fitted. Angiogram showed I had the start of plaque in 2 arteries, but not enough for a stent. cardiologist said that I am fine, but I am still struggling with my breathing, especially uphill. Last week I walked for an hour up a downhill and it took me 24 hours to recover

Long term Effects of radiation
I had salvage radiation in 2014 after failed RP surgery in 2013 at age 69 for Gleason 9 PCa. I’ve also had radiation of pelvic lymph nodes in 2015 , right femur in 2017, and a rib and clavicle in 2018. A few years ago incontinence developed. I tried clamp, sling and AUS. The latter caused sepsis

Previous Heart attack/stent
2016 when my life changed. I look back now and see that my life in a wierd form changed for the better following my heart attack at the age of 55.

Is this a long wait to see a cardiologist, or is it normal?
I had an MI while abroad in December, I had to have CPR, I had a stent put in and spent 4 days in a foreign hospital ( it was very nice and my treatment was excellent) and I am now on what appears from this forum to be a pretty standard cocktail of thinners, statins, beta blockers, etc . I’ve seen

Emotional setback
Hi All,Had HA back in September & had a stent fitted. After struggling with side effects of meds for many months, it seems to have sorted itself out & for the last month, I seem to feel like my old self again. Over the months I've had one or two little niggles/ feelings around my chest. Never lasted
