Coronary Artery Spasm - return.
Nearly two years ago I was diagnosed with Corornary Artery Spasms (Vasospastic Angina) and have managed it extremely well until last week when the spams returned with vengeance. They seem relentless and nothing I do seems to stop them. I suppose I’m really quite concerned and not sure what to do. I

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

Fast heart beat
I had a double cabg in late January and am recovering well with no complications. I saw my cardiologist a few weeks ago and asked him all the questions I had in relation to all the little things that are worrying me slightly. He said that everything I described was perfectly normal and natural, ( including

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

I'm still feeling slight pressure in my chest (I sometimes feel like I have a golf ball stuck in my chest where the stent was
