Is it normal to have an attack a day after having a Stent?
I had a stent fitted Tuesday and was discharged after having a heart attack on the previous Friday. I presented with jaw pain. Since my stent I have had 1 attack a day so far again with jaw pain. I have used GTN spray and it event2took the pain away. But is this usual to happen so frequently?

Hi, I wonder if you can help. My mother had angina and had a stent about a year ago. She continued to have palpitations and all the cardiologists said that she didn't have AF and that her heart was now fine.

How much damage can we expect
My mum had a heart attack and had two stents put in in 2006. Also with angina over a week ago she started to become breathless until 7 days later she could not talk. A GP rang an ambulance immediately. Her legs are now filled with fluid and docs have said there is significant damage to the artery walls

Follow ups at local hospital after stent
Hi I had a stent fitted at St Thomas' London. Its been 6 months. I've had a telephone appointment with the cardiology team since. They have now booked me a ecg at St Thomas. I was wonder if anyone has transferred their care back to their local hospital. It's a long train journey to go just for an ecg

Retained pacing wires
I understand most people having CABG or valve surgery these days have pacing wires connected in case of heart block or Afib after the Op. I have found out that in my case the wires were cut at skin level and retained. However I have read that retaining them in the body can cause problems later on there

Life Insurance
I am 40 years old and have a stent, which was fitted in 2015. I am now fit, healthy and had no issues since . Due to having a mortgage I have always had life insurance, unfortunately I have always done it for 10 year terms. My current insurance is coming to an end so looking to renew. A simple comparison

Running Fitness post angiogram
Hello. Two weeks ago I was half way through a marathon training schedule, as I have been for the last 12 years during Feb/March. However, I had to have an angiogram last week because of intermittent chest pain and “potential” stenosis revealed on a CT scan. No stent was needed as the flow was 97%. For

Change in Taste
Hi all Had a heart attack earlier this year and a stent was fitted. Has anyone experienced a change in their sense of taste? I get a sweet and metalic taste and its difficult to eat anything I eat doesnt taste very pleasant. I assume it is related to the medications I have been taking?
