Stent pain
Hi all So I have had two stents one in June 2021 and one in November 2021. Both were successful but I seem to be having pain I'm the stent sites now and again. It's not really bad pain but it's not nice either. It seems to be after I have a session on the alcohol although i cant be sure. Does anyone

Twinges in chest
Hi All, Just a quick question, had a stent fitted in October 2020 and all has been fine, last day or two been getting small twinges left of centre of chest, may be down to me lifting a couple of heavy items recently but wanted to just check if anyone else has experienced this? Thanks

Looking for travel insurance advice
I was lucky enough to discover that I required a stent before i suffered any heart damage, my clinician says there are no concerns about ongoing health issues, and i am minimal risk - where can i find fair travel insurance that acknowledges this? i was quoted £800 to cover me for a 2 month stay in australia

Lipoprotein a
Hi. Does anyone have high lipoptotein A. Any success in reducing it? I'm 52 years old and have been told my coronary artery disease is premature so I was referred by cardio team to the lipid specialists. I was/am in good shape, decent weight/BMI and fitness. I'm now 8 weeks post-CABG x 2 and 7 months

Well as promised here’s the update, just came up from the CAF lab an hour ago after procedure to see if needed another stent and ended up with another 3 😳, that totals 5 in my LAD in just over three years since my HA, hopefully will be a while now before in need anymore interventions. Also hope I can

Indigestion after Heart Attack
I had my heart attack last year. One stent. Now experiencing right chest pain sometimes in the evening. I often think I am having another heart attack but after going to casualty I realise it is indigestion. I have never suffered with this prior to the heart attack. The pain is bad. It can be difficult

Not right after stent
Morning all does anybody feel worse after having a stent? I know I got severe coronary artery disease/angina but I felt pretty ok before I had this procedure and diagnosis, my heart feels like its aching all the time and I cant do much, before I was working full time at the gym 3 times a week.

No support
Morning all 6 weeks ago I ended up having a stent and diagnosed with angina all out of the blue, did have a bit of breathlessness and chest pain. Basically I was in and out of hospital within two days, loads of heart medications and basically left to get on with it, I've had no support, only now

Healthy Lifestyle choices can significantly boost your life span post CABG
Hello Lovely People, This is my first post and I don’t even know whether I am doing this correctly. I had a Heart Attack at the age of 33 and ended up having Quintuple Cardiac Bypass Surgery. I have had a lot of anxiety since then about quality life and my life span in general. Which, I am pretty sure

Update
Just thought I’d give a little update! So I’d had a stent fitted to relieve a 90% blockage in my LAD artery in November 2021. I was therefore started on Prasugrel (antiplatelet med) in addition to the 75mg daily aspirin I was already taking. They then found I have a moderately leaky aortic valve. Being

Newbie and nervous
Afternoon from sunny Wales :) My husband had a heart attack 7 weeks ago, just unlucky they said, as hes normally fit, no diabetes, no family history. But he had a stent fitted. We've had another echo last week, and his ejection fraction had gone from 32.5% just after the attack, to 40%. He had a call

Happy anniversary
Well just thought I’d drop by and say happy 2nd anniversary to me. STEMI with sudden cardiac arrest x2 and luckily only 1 stent, called Bruce, fitted on 27 June 2020. Since my blip I’ve started hiking, completed the great Birmingham 10k, travelled to places I’ve always wanted to go, and generally living
