not happy!
feeling abandoned! Hi everyone! In two days time it will be the third year anniversary of my stent operation. I didn’t have a heart attack. Just shortness of breath and the angiogram (I think) found a “severe” blockage in my LAD. I assumed)dangerous) that I’d be back to normal after the stent. But

Random Halloween Question
Morning all, So I have an unusual question for you all this morning. In my family, I’m very close to my twin sister (she’s currently going through squamous cell carcinoma), my girlfriend, my daughter and her girlfriend and my son and his boyfriend. Yes, a very rainbow family! But every year we enjoy

Stopping heart attack meds After 12 months
I have stopped Ticagrelor and Omeprazole after taking for 1 year following 1 stent fitted for heart attack. I did not wean off them just stopped. I've had bad stomach ache, constipation, feeling sick, acid since, particularly bad laying down I'm thinking it's because of stopping Omeprazole? Any ideas

Symptoms a year after CABG, 20 months after Heart Attack.
I would be interested in the experiences of others relating to the aftermath of CABG surgery. Potted history: From around summer 2017 when aged 60, I started to feel a mild tingling and "tight" sensation sometimes under my left ribs, sometimes in my back around the same height. It continued on and

Orbita trial
Just a quick update ventured to the gym today for my first aqua class for 8 months, after all the trials and tribulations of this year. So happy managed the 3/4 hour class without any angina. I am beginning to think I must have had the stent at the angioplasty as not any anti angina meds now. If it

5 1/2 years post ablation
It is so nice to come back to this group and find some familiar names still helping other people. My ablation was successful but with difficult 2 months recovery. A few times I had short episodes of general weakness with shortness of breaths. Every time it happened was after having coffee. Now things

Recent echo after A/F diagnosis
Had a 3X CABG 19 years ago ( I'm 69 now) and just 3 months back had a bout of A/F which was treated with the usual Bisoprolol and Warfarin (bad reaction to Apixaban so that was a no go). Had the echo 3 weeks ago and was given the results yesterday - valves working well but Ejection fraction down to 40
