Pmr and heart attack
Hi thereI'm writing for my husband. He had pmr for about 18 months diagnosed after a bout of covid. He did really well with the steroids, they worked to manage the symptoms and he took his last dose in February. Previously he was a fit, healthy and strong person. Pmr definitely took some of his muscle

”Novel” myocardial bridge surgery - article
Hello for anyone interested and / or with a MB, I came across the article below which offers up a “novel” approach to CABG surgery for extensive bridges (greater than 5mm deep I interpreted that as). this article suggests a bypass with the LIMA from the point of entry to the point of exit. There is

had to call a ambulance
hi everyone, I felt very unwell on Saturday with new chest pain in my left hand side of my chest and found it difficult to breathe. I usually get it in the middle of my chest. My partner called an ambulance and I went into hospital. After ECG and blood tests they didn’t think it was a heart attack.

Hypertension and blood pressure
Hello I have been struggling lately having what I call ‘funny turns’ they are totally random and happen at different times, some weeks none, other weeks 3 or 4 times. My heart starts beating fast, chest pounding and go all hot and dizzy, thinking I am going to collapse if it doesn’t pass. I have bought

Slightly breathless after stent
I finally got round to getting a stent for my mild angina last Monday. So far I feel OK but have not tested things out yet with a long walk to see if the angina has gone. However I do experience a slight sense of breathlessness even at rest. Just a slight sensation that I am not fully breathing. Is

Centralized chest pain. Feels like stent pain.
I had a stent put in 3months ago. I went for a walk two days ago and when I slept that night I reinjured an old shoulder injury.Woke up the next morning and have had sharp centered pain in my chest that I can compare to the pain I felt a few days after having my stent. It's very short. One to two seconds

Dodged Another Bullet
I was on Eligard for two years and the hormone treatment was ended in October 2022. On July 3rd 2023 I had a minor heart attack. Fortunately I recognized the symptoms straight away and went directly to the ER. I had a >90% blockage in my right coronary artery, and ended up with one stent in the artery

cardiac stress perfusion MRI
Back in November I had a stent fitted as had angina attack out the blue and my RV was almost completely blocked. Since then I’ve still suffered with angina attacks. My consultant has put me on nicorandil which after fighting the side effects practically cured my angina. I’ve just today had a cardiac

stent
I started having chest pain in March 2022. I was referred to hospital for a CT coronary Angiogram In May 2022. The results showed I had no obstruction of the large coronary arteries. So this didn’t explain my symptoms. I just kept getting worse with many trips to the doctors saying this could be stress

Shortness of Breath

As such I have fallen between the gaps. I have no idea about what I can and can't do. Im no 6 weeks post
