Off meds but anxious š
Hi all. I have been off Azathioprine and prednisolone since April 2019. Whilst Iām glad Iām not on them I feel vulnerable and anxious about relapsing. (I was taken off them due to adverse side effects) At the time my consultant felt that as I was doing well without them there was no need to put me on

Just placed on Entresto
Really interesting reading your replies. I have just been advised to go on to Entresto lower dose am and higher dose pm. This was due to low BP readings under 100. Will know my blood test results soon to decide whether I can tolerate higher dose twice a day. I have had a CABG and mitral valve repair

Headaches are awful
Hi everyone, firstly can I just say that before my operation I have waited in the wings reading a whole lot of inspirational posts and a bit of reality what to expect. I had an unruptured left middle cerebral aneurysm which was an incidental find from an MRI scan on my shoulder. My aneurysm was treated

Proximal LAD Stenosis
Hi all, Had a CT Angiogram last week and just spoke to the GP about it yesterday. Apparently I have 50 percent soft plaque stenosis in the proximal LAD. Need to go for an angiogram to do more tests and they may fit a stent depending on the amount blood flow through it. Doc was pretty upbeat, said it

Cycle No More ā or maybe?
I had my latest angiogram on Friday 5 mar, the result of which was that no additional stents were fitted and that no physical improvement actions were implemented. Although I was aware of the possibility that no improvements would be possible during this process I really was not mentally prepared for

New to the ticker team.
Hi everyone. I think I have read just about every post and response now. Some inspirational stuff on here that has been reassuring to a recent recipient of LAD stent following anterior stemi and additional bystander disease. HA on 07.02.2021 out of the blue, boy did it hurt and I am not soft. Arterial

Racing heart beat wakened me up
I had my HA 4 months ago, had a LAD stent fitted and thought I was good to go. Horrendous side effects have finally settled but I've recently experienced heart beat of 111 that has wakened me from sleep and remained for two hours (this was the night of my covid vaccine) and also during my now regular

Stent
I had two stents last year and I have spasms. The medication Iām on has worked well until this week I am getting some chest pain. Nothing major but enough to be noticeable. Tonight I took some spray for the first time. Should I be worried?

Heart attack last August, no Stent
I had a STEMI last August. 999 super fast response, and I was taken to cath lab within 1 hour of the 999 call. They did angioplasty, but were unable to insert stent(s) because of ectatic Right coronary artery. I'm told this means that instead of being smooth, the artery has narrow bits and wide bits.

Post heart attack medication
Had heart attack nearly five weeks ago had one stent fitted. I am now on medication for blood press and cholesterol, how long does it take to reduce my high blood pressure and what side effect if any should I be aware of? Many thanks
