Northern Ireland Cardiologist ?
I know this is a long shot but can anyone recommend a private cardiologist in N. Ireland ? I have never used private clinics before in my life but I'm desperate to get some advice on the failure of my stent to resolve my angina. Going private seems to be the only way to get a consultation.

Angiogram results
Well yesterday was my test day. I posted about it was going to be an angioplasty but I didn’t really want stents if there was a problem I wanted another bypass as it’s so close to my Quad CABG being done last year then I’d rather get it fixed then repaired. I had a long chat with the cardiologist and

beta blockers
Why do the docs love prescribing these type of drugs. I never had them prior to my cabg. I have suffered the dizziness and light headed ness but it’s the overwhelming fatigue that gets me down. So last week l decided to record my b/p twice a day to see if that sheds any light on the situation. Long story

breathlessness
I am feeling very breathless today but with no pain in my chest just a weird fluttering feeling.I’ve got angina and I’m waiting on a stent for a 100 per cent blocked artery. Has anybody had theses symptoms? I get breathless but it just seem I still am even when I rest.

Flying after stent
Can I ask how soon people flew after they had a stent fitted. Did you experience any side effects during the flight?

Hi everyone. I had a heart attack on 3rd Aug 2023 and was rushed to the Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital where the great staff there managed to save my life. I have had a stent fitted and hoping to go home on 8th Aug. All seems to have gone well with just some soreness. The hospital and everyone involved

left sided chest pain for over 2 years after stent
I had one sent in June 2021. I have had left sided chest pain since than. Any one else in the same situation. Pain seems to be constant, breathing ok. Any solutions ? Stress echo normal, holter monitor normal.

How long until stent improves angina symptoms?
I got a stent on a LAD blockage just over 2 weeks ago and had high hopes that my angina symptoms would disappear. However this has not been the case so far. I feel pretty much the same as before, getting a burning chest sensation when walking and felling breathless occasionally at rest. Is it possible

Painful collar bone
Hello everyone and I hope you are all feeling OK.Question: I had a heart attack last month and had a stent fitted. Towards the end of last week I developed mild pain in my right collar bone. It is still there. I've tried researching it - to no avail. Has anyone else experienced this?

Teeth Problems (who would have thought!)
Hi, I had a heart attack a year ago and had a stent fitted and then another fitted 6 months later and am really getting on well. However I have noticed that since starting taking the drugs my teeth have stained a good few shades darker and have broken 2 teeth in half just eating food. Has anyone else

I’m perplexed about Pluvicto
After one dose of Pluvicto, Joe’s PSA rose, and Mets are unchanged. His second dose is August 4. I asked his onc what good looks like: how will we know if P is working? When? No good answer……he’ll rescan after 3rd dose….. His QOL is lousy, from what I see, anyway. Spends days moving between

Gastric source of angina symptoms
In my quest to get to the bottom of my angina type symptoms I have recently had a stent implanted in my LAD but the symptoms persist. - Mild burning sensation in chest after a few minutes of walking outdoors. (if I walk indoors I have no such problem - it seems to be temperature related?) If I pause

More on statins
I've actually been tolerating ADT quite well over the past year but beginning in January I started feeling tightness in chest, low endurance, out of breath, heavy fatigue, attributing all to Xtandi...Then in May I fainted after getting up from the couch so the old lady took me to the ER...I had an emergency

Vitamins
Hi all, I used to take a multivitamin tablet daily, until my heart stent age 44 two years ago. My Cardiologist asked me to stop taking them as there were certain vitamins that became not good to take e.g. ones on there linked to clotting. I want to start taking vitamins again. My diet is as good

Stent not relieving angina symptoms - so far
Last year I began to get mild burning in my chest and back when walking. So angina was suspected. I was put onto aspirin, statin, bisoprolol and ranolazine and they seemed to greatly reduce the problem. I had a heart scan which detected a significant blockage in my LAD. So
last week
I got a stent
