Are there any natural supplements really worth taking for AFib? There’s so many claims out there.
Been in permanent AFib since stemi, cardiac arrest and stent fitted 2 months ago. Not obese never smoked exercised hard 4 times a week. Curious about supplements but also curious about medical treatments of cardiac version and ablation as I’m seeing arythmia nurse to discuss options next week. Any info

AF frustration
Good morning, My husband had a NSTEMI heart attack in June of this year and his recovery has been slow due to repeated episodes of AF, he hasn't had an official diagnosis yet as the aftercare has been very limited and he hasn't seen a GP or consultant since having his stent fitted. He had an episode

Post Operative Aortic Valve replacement, single CABG. 2019. Week ago, TIA admission to A&E and ward for 24 hours. Support needed please?
Post Operative Aortic Valve and single CABG July 2019 . On July 28th 2021 I had TIA, out of the blue. Paramedics called, taken to A&E, all investigations carried out, then up to the stroke ward for 24 hours. Home but feeling really shocked, and anxious. Live on my own. Is there a support group for this

Fostair Inhaler 100/6
How safe is the Fostair 100/6 inhaler please? After having been on a Symbicort inhaler since earlier this, my Asthma Nurse has changed my medication to a Fostair. Usually my breathing is under control but since beginning of this year, and after testing positive for Covid just after Christmas 2020, I

Is it possible to take a biopsy of a cardiac artery plaque in order to determine exactly what it contains?
Hi All I was found to have, via CT Angiogram, in July 16, a very high Calcium Agatston score of 1315. I then had CABG in Feb 17 at age 66. The day before I asked if it was possible to do a biopsy of a plaque, to help in identifying what they contained. They said it was not possible. Is this correct?

GCA culprit with possible plaque in artery
Has anybody had stents put in with GCA being the main culprit? I went for a scan and got the results and I can't find anything that means it's good or bad. My appointment with the vascular surgeon is tomorrow and was wondering if anyone on here can tell me if my distal external iliac artery is high

Heart Pills and Eczema
Nearly 10 months after starting on heart pills (ticagrelor, aspirin, ramipiril 2.5 , atorvastatin. lanzaprolole) following an angiogram (1 stent fitted), terrible eczema eruptions on my whole body plus itchy scalp and blocked ears. Could this be a side-effect of ramipiril which is a thiazide diuretic

I've had cabg heart op after heart attack back 21 years ago. Always since then I've had pain in left side of chest under ribs at bottom. I blamed it on the heart op. I've recently had lung function tests at hospital and apparently I have chronic childhood asthma! Is that causing all the pain and tight

No stent extra meds
After having a cardiology angiogram last I was told then by the cardiologist that I would need a stent but he would speak to colleagues. Then I got a letter to say I’m staying on my meds plus statin’s and aspirin. My finding were “Access was via the right radial artery. Results showed mild ascending

Back home after spending 10 days in hospital after a TAK flare up.
Was admitted to hospital 10 days ago after a violent flare up from TAK. Screaming headaches, which led to some numbness down my temple, cheek and jaw and heavy arms and tingling in little fingers and chest pain. At first they thought I had had a stroke or a heart attack. Anyway after many scans and X-rays

Esld
I've had cirrhosis for a few years now. I've had 4 bleeds, the last one was gastric but the first 3 were oesophagal. The last one resulted in a TIPS procedure which i believe is a stent through the liver. Now been told i have esld and without wishing to ask a daft question, what is the likely outcome

Do I still have angina?
I was diagnosed with angina about 7 years ago and after quite a few lifestyle changes I had it under control....I haven't needed to use my spray for years. Three months ago I had a heart attack and had two stents fitted to my LAD, apart from a couple of minor issues with dizziness if I stand up too quickly
