Ticagrelor bruising
I am 5 months post HA and stent. Came home very bruised from the angioplasty. That cleared up well but have had all sorts of random bruising since then. They just appear each morning from nowhere, no apparent injury or even a minor knock. Was accepting it but they seem to be getting worse the last few

The mind of an alcoholic
Hi all I am an alcoholic, I have liver cirrhosis and a TIPS stent and want to get sober…went to hospital to try and get a detox last Sunday, waited 12 hrs in A&E and they said the NHS do no have the funding or recognise alcoholism as an illness. I wanted to detox so I could go to AA meetings It’s

Insomnia (boo!)
Common problem with the meds, I know. But 6 weeks after my stent was inserted ("cardiac incident") and I can't grab more than four hours uninterrupted. What meds will the doc put me on to get some sleep? I read regular sleeping pills are risky for heart patients. Any Intel? Thanks in advance! 👍

Stent in trunk coronary artery
Hi - has anyone had a blockage in this artery? I was in Spain when I had my HA and the Cardiologist tried to explain but the language barrier got in the way. The final report was in Spanish too.

Invited for my unmentionable this week, feeling unexpectedly anxious, advice needed!
I'm not anti-V but I unexpectedly feel anxious about getting my boo-ster this week after my heart attack & stent last month. I'm 48, female & have a healthy, active lifestyle so for me, my heart attack came out of nowhere. Now I'm on 7 drugs every day, with a blooming GTN spray I'm having to use a couple

Slow recovery and set backs after angiogram and stent
I had an angiogram and stent inserted in late July after three weeks of angina. It was diagnosed as uncontrolled angina, it came on rapidly over three weeks and got worse very quickly. I suspected that is what it was and was happy with what was done and how quickly they did it, arrived 10am, stent inserted

Angiogram/Angioplasty
Hi I am having an Angiogram/Angioplasty on the 22nd of September and have my pre-op on the 18th, what is the normal recovery from this procedure if nothing is actually carried out after looking through the arteries and recovery if a stent or anything is done? I am currently doing the BHF 10,000 steps

My last 4 months
On Friday 28th April I had a major heart attack in front of my husband and daughter, They thought I was over reacting until my daughter rang 999. They advised her that I was having a heart attack and advised her where the local defib was. 999 could not get a crew out to me for 90mins. They took me to

What do constitutes heart failure?
If you have a stent inserted. Does this mean I have what is called heart failure. My specialist has never used these words but now I’m wondering. So what exactly does heart failure mean?

When to start exercise?
Caveat: I understand I am not asking for or receiving medical advice. Simply canvassing opinion from those with similar experience etc. I had a stent inserted a month ago. It wasn't a planned procedure. I haven't been contacted by NHS cardiac rehab for my initial assessment yet. This could take some
