Help
I have recently been diagnosed with angina. I have artery disease ( 50-65% stenosis on LAD but my cardiologist says I don`t need a stent as my symptoms are being managed with various drugs including nitrates and statins. Is that a situation that other angina sufferers find themselves in?

10 weeks post stent and am still experiencing pain /tightness on the left side of my chest
I was treated as an ACS 10 weeks ago, and had a stent inserted as a result of ' moderate /severe mid - LAD lesion'. Everything else was normal and no damage to the heart muscle. I was also diagnosed as 'possible late presentation of takotsubo cardiomyopathy '.I have been recovering quite well with less

Cardiac micro vascular dysfunction/Vasospasm
The nearest I’ve got to one is: most likely
coronary
artery
spasm
or
coronary
micro vascular dysfunction. I was discharged back to GP with heart meds which sometimes help but also have side effects which then required more meds on top.

Balloon but no stent
So a question: A friend has just had an HA with primary PCI (so suffered a STEMI i guess) but has just had balloon angioplasty without a stent for treatment. Reading up this seems uncommon with 80% of cardiac angioplasty procedures appatently resulting in a stent emplacement. I ended up with 6 stents

How long for stents to settle?
Hi, Firstly, sorry for the long post! I am 49 and earlier this year I was suffering with bad heart burn (have a history of gastric issues), which the GPs tried treating with various prazoles ending up with me on Pantoprazole. After talking to one of the GPs (never got to speak to the same one twice!

Safe to take supplements?
Hi, With all the meds I'm taking in first year after triple CABG is it safe to take supplements (namely Vitamin D / zinc in winter months)? Or will I be overwhelming my liver? Thanks
