from nothing to bypass!!
so had another angiogram today following a Myoview perfusion test that showed some lack of blood to the heart! consultant advised unlikely anything to worry about and likely a false positive on the scan just come out of catheter lab having been told I either need a complex stent or a bypass!!

My husband likes to socialise and is now after three weeks is still smoking and binge drinking. I'm trying to support him but feel very worried that this heart attack hasn't

To monitor or have surgery?
I was recently diagnosed with an aneurysm on my internal carotid artery. The team at the Wessex Neurological Centre have told me it’s a borderline decision on whether to do surgery or monitor it and that the choice is up to me. If they proceed with surgery they would need to do an endovascular stent

Another echo about a year later and EF still same. Since July 23rd this year have been experiencing constant AF (all day and night without

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.

Narrowing Arteries
Hi there - I don’t post too much but find this site amazing and so supportive. What a great community for everyone. It’s so nice to hear everyone sharing their stories and getting some great advice back. I do have one question tho. I had a stent last year, for a 99% blocked artery. I have another narrowed

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?

Views on running after CABG?
I suppose this is a addressed to people who used to run before their operation.I used to run and I wasn't very good.Pre op on a treadmill I could run at 5mph, or twelve minute mile pace, if I veered over this I might have chest discomfort and had to take a rest.I was warned not to exert myself but felt

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

Triple Bypass 2 years on.
I sometimes reply to the questions and experiences of others but I don't instigate threads, so this is an exception. Two years ago today, age 64, I was in surgery for triple CABG following a heart attack and one stent in 2019, and a return of some symptoms such as pressure in upper chest and awful jaw

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?

Do you recognise this rash?
I was taken into hosptial on 23rd January with a
coronary
artery
spasm
and intense pain in my upper abdomen and back with vomiting. After chest x-ray and ultra-scan it transpired I had a dilated bile duct and my liver function was right off the charts. And NO I definitely don’t drink.

Post Cabg how soon do you think i can i lie on my side?

I've been lucky because i am fairly content on a pillow slope and laying stock

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
