Dreaming
So I have been having vivid dreams (could say nightmares) and when I wake up I have symptoms of angina (aching in arms etc) and can feel my heart beating more than normal. I'm unsure whether during the dream my heart is racing faster because of what I'm dreaming about or I'm having the symptoms and that's

Help in deciding when to return to work
4 months ago I had a STEMI. arrested just as got to hospital. Had a stent fitted. It left me with reduced ejection fraction of 40%, some muscle damage and continuous AFib. I’m having cardio version Thursday but they’ve been clear it’s not a cure and if it puts me in nsr I will always have AFib. I’m

Just an update
Hi All! I had a heart cath, yesterday, and my left arterial descending artery was 98% blocked! There were actually two blockages, one dislodged and broke up when he attempted to place the stent. The pieces then flowed to the next blockage. That one was successfully stented. I am so very grateful that

Cor Triatriatum and post stent pain.
Hi, I'm a newbie! Quick precis of my story: I was waiting for an angio appt (told 6 month wait) when my heart decided it could wait no longer and I was admitted via A&E and eventually had a stent fitted. It was also discovered that I had Cor Triatiatum since birth, explaining why I'd be pulled out

New here, cabg’ed
I’m new here. Cabg x 5 about 7 weeks ago. Dropped the codeine after about 2 weeks (weird dreams!) and slowly reading paracetamol. Following the advice, slowing increasing duration, not intensity of walking and only real problem is drain holes (2 of 3) not healing properly and starting a steroid cream

Stent before ablation
I am enormously grateful to this community. I am in an extremely good hospital but nobody speaks good English and I can't expect the doctors to spend too much extra time on me with my limited Russian and Google translate. Good news for those who read previous thread is that my stomach ulcer is not cancerous

Rotablation
Hi all. Well 4 1/2 years after my bypass surgery I found myself with similar angina pains although things went slightly differently this time. At first I think I was in denial about the pain 'was it imagined' 'was it indigestion'? In the end I could ignore it no longer so last Monday (18th) I phoned

Cataract and stent op outcomes
Hi All Has anyone had cataract op and how did it go? I had super vision for 4 days and then apparently the lens moved and now it’s not that great. Because I can read the chart they say I can drive but beyond about 5 metres my vision is blurred so I won’t be driving. I know it’s only 11 days but I am

Platelets dropping while on Zejula (Niraparib)
Hi Lovely Ladies. I went through two rounds of chemo for peritoneal CA. A few bumps along the way with a blocked ureter. A stent was inserted and I ended up in ICU with a kidney infection. (Sepsis). All good now in that regard except that my kidney function has been affected - they don't seem to be

Rosuvastatin verses Atorvastatin
Having had a coronary stent fitted in April I'm prescribed atorvastatin 80mg to clear fatty arteries. Would I be better off with rosuvastatin?

Angioplasty
Due to have angioplasty in 10 days. I have a blocked LAD but my heart has done 2 by passes, to help, but they haven’t quite done the job. Exercise test showed st depression. Cardiologist is going to try and poke a way through, and stent the LAD. Anyone had anything similar.

Vaping
Hi guys, I had a stent fitted at the end of June this year. Does anyone have any advice on vaping? Is it dangerous to carry on? I'm on the lowest strength available.
