111 update
Hey everyone I've listened to you all and called 111 They weren't very helpful, saying it's just a bug, I had to almost scream at them I'VE JUST HAD A STENT" They finally listened and I'm waiting for a call back I've also told Mum and she's trying (but failing) to remain calm V x

Running can literally save your life !
A rather dramatic title, but In my case it was probably true ! Ok, so I now feel it is time to bring this out into the open. The Admin team know about this . Thank you to Oldfloss and MissUnderstanding for picking up the slack ! Only a handful of others have known about this And to the ones who knew

Stopping Clopidogrel
I've been told to stop Clopidogrel after 12 months since getting a stent.Just 2 days after stopping, I'm getting severe pain like heart attack. I have unstable angina and glyceryl nitrate spray didn't help .took aspirin too as usual. I'm not sure if withdrawing Clopidogrel has caused this. Anyone experienced

supra-arterial myotomy
hello has anyone had this heart surgery? It seems to be more available in US but not so in UK. Technically it’s cutting the heart muscle open to release the (most common) LAD which grew inside the heart muscle instead of on the surface of the heart during pregnancy so is a congenital heart defect (myocardial

Angioplasty tomorrow...in urgent need of advice asap pls
Hi all angioplasty booked for tomorrow but not sure if I should go ahead with it or just cancel. Reason for procedure: Doc wants to investigate extent of artery blockage in order to prescribe flecanide medication for afib. If blockage is severe he will fit a stent during the procedure. Got quite a shock

Failed angioplasty/ stent placement
Has anyone ever had a failed angioplasty when attempting to put in stents in an occluded vein? If so- has there been a second attempt? Was it successful? Thanks

Stopping me breaking something returning to racing
Thanks to the encouragement from members of this forum I am now back up to parkruns again. I am now looking to enter club 10k races. I am speaking to my GP next week and ideally I would like to get their clearance, or a cardiologists, on how hard I can push myself. The surgeons did a good job and I

Hi everyone, I'll try to keep this one short today and not write a doctoral dissertation of emotions. That's how I feel and at least with my "community fam" - it's a no judgement zone. I'm feeling fair since the Kidney Stone/Lithotripsy Stent Procedure surgery. That's a mouth full (right) - some days
