after a stent…
This is for information only for those who may have a stent fitted recently or about to. It’s about side effects that can happen and why. I had a stent fitted to open up my LAD just before Christmas this year after being on a medical regime for 11 months. The procedure took about an hour rather

immune system
Hi guys Hope you are all having a good day. I'm 9 months post stent. Still haven't completely sorted my head out, but im getting there. Just thinking as i'm sitting here with man flu, is there any data that suggests that the post heart attack medication can affect our immune systems.

What happens after heart attack
I had 2 heart attacks in 2022 and had an emergency stent fitted. Should I be having regular check ups as I have not had any follow up since I finished my rebiltation

pulse
had stent fitted last week . Have been on blood thinners and statin since , but wasn’t told to carry on with beta blockers or nitrate tabs . My pulse at the moment is only 59 which is low ish for me without beta blockers . Does this mean the stents not working properly ?

Drinking alcohol
I'm going on a cruise and my other half wants to get the drinks package.But I suffer from microvascular angina and had a stent fitted 4 years ago. I'm on heart meds/statins. My question is should I be drinking for 14 days . I do drink but about once a week . To break even I would have to have at least

angioplasty with stent
had stent put in rca on Tuesday . The pain in my arm is horrendous and hot to the touch . Is this to be expected with the trauma ? And the acid reflux is quite bad . Reading up on it could be side effect to clipidogrel . Any here had similar issues

left arm tingle is confusing me
hello, The top, rear, of my left arm has been tingling for about a week now. I had a stent fitted a few years ago and I’ve since given up smoking and I run 4 times a week. However, I’m always worried when it comes to any “symtoms” that could be heart related. Should I go to the hospital?

lump in throat
hi everyone. I am a woman in my early 50s. I had a heart event two weeks ago. I was admitted to hospital where I was discovered to have a fast heartbeat, and also an irregular heartbeat and a blocked artery - following the event I have had a stent in this artery. I had noticed over the last few months

Fluid retention after CABG
Hey guys,I was wondering if anyone has suffered from long term water retention after having a CABG (quadruple)? The reason I ask is because my father has been taking 40mg of Furosemide for the past 10 years and his legs have been slowly getting worse. Any help/suggestions would be gratefully appreciated

heart bypass graph
I’m still on the virtual ward. It’s been 3 weeks now. I’m waiting for a bypass graph. Has anybody been on a virtual ward and how long where you on it . I still got no news of my bypass graph. I’m just wondering how long people have had to wait for theirs. I’ve got a 99 per cent blockage in my left artery

Feeling rough
I had a MI in March last year and had 1 x stent several days later. Since then I've had various problems with the medication that I was given with mainly fatigue, so my medication was tweaked for several months after. I am now on the dosages I was originally put on and have been for a while and felt
