Unplanned hospital visit - MVD - next steps?
I ended up in hospital on Thursday on my birthday! Had a black out at home along with usual chest pain. Had another angiogram to check my new stent put in last November was ok. All good & arteries not clogged. Through a process of elimination they told me they thought i had MVD and Vasospastic Angina

Failed angiogram
Hi all, only my second post on here. I’ve just got home from a failed angiogram. Back in 2019, I had a NSTEMI resulting in a stent fitted on the LAD. After roughly 6 months, I started suffering angina pain on exertion. I reported this to my cardiologist who subsequently referred me for an angiogram.

Trans Apical TAVI op done and dusted at last!
Just thought I'd let everyone know that I've been out of hospital for a week now, after waiting 13 months and two cancellations for an urgent aortic valve replacement. Stiches due out tomorrow. I'm especially grateful to Tessie28 who warned me that even though the op is termed 'key hole' it is still

Covid for Christmas
Hi All, Posted two days ago about really feeling the cold post CABG (my op 10 months ago) and it making my chest ache and hurt. Well, it may also be hurting due to having just tested +ve for Covid. Seems Santa put me on the naughty list! Not felt too bad, just generally crummy the last few days but

Update
So the Coronary Angiogram complete. It was ok, the staff were lovely and cardiologist answered all my questions. I didn't really feel anything other than an ache when they were feeding the tube through. I told them I was very nervous and asked if they could give me something to help relax me and they

Late Happy Christmas
I was busy enjoying Christmas Day, an event I was told in June 2020 I would not witness unless I had an urgently needed op. Well, i had that op, a CABG (3 grafts) and a Davids Procedure and i made it! So Happy Christmas (albeit late) and all the best for 2021. For those in need of that op - there are

Coronary artery spasm
I have been told the above is better than a heart attack but also that it can lead to one. Anyone out there with knowledge of this condition and its effects both in the short and long term. Have been put on Anlodopine but every few days feel light headed and have pain in neck . On 5mg. Anyone else with

Wishing you all a Happy and Safe Christmas
A huge thank you to everyone who supported me in my partners journey through his wiggly veins, angina, numerous tests, failed stents and ultimately his CABG and AFib episodes this year. You are all superstars. Unfortunately his recovery has been longer and much harder then we’d planned for - but he

Coronary Angiogram
I'm due to go into have this on Wednesday. Very relieved, slightly nervous... more than slightly when I think about it too much. The hospital have decided to do a two in one so to speak, if they find it's a blocked artery they will put in a stent whilst I'm there so I'm taking blood thinning tablets

Fear of something terrible happening
Hi I have a congenital heart defect that was detected 2 years ago which mean my right artery is in the wrong place, running between the pumping chambers which sometimes cause angina type symptoms I’m under cardiologist and on waiting list for CABG hopefully by end of feb, there isn’t really any data

Coming off Ticagrelor
I had heart attack in 2017 and had a stent inserted. In August 2021 I will have been taking Ticagrelor for 4 years without problems (only bruising at times) and also 75mg of Aspirin daily. I am really concerned as the time gets closer to stopping it, do I just stop it I’ve read people can have heart

Now what?
Three years ago I developed a tremor in my dominant arm. At the same time I developed a Deep Vein Thrombosis in the same arm. Then a 100% obstruction of the LAD coronary branch. The LAD is also known as the widow maker. A stent plus drugs cleared all that up but nothing has helped get rid of

Just not right!
My journey started April 2016 being diagnosed with coronary heart disease, went through CABG 4 weeks later. After recovery I just never felt as good as I had hoped and sure enough symptoms returned and June 2020 I had stents fitted. Still don’t feel anywhere near how I hoped to after these procedures

Do you keep active
Just a note that having a heart attack and having a stent fitted does not need to be disabling or stop you doing things. I had a heart attack on September the 13th and 3 day's later a stent was fitted. In October I travelled to Spain where I walk and use an E bike to zap around the hills and mountains

Am I classed as having heart disease
I had a minor heart attack at the start of last year due to a narrowing of one of my arteries. They fitted a stent and said there was no other signs of narrowing elsewhere. Do I count as having heart disease?

Stopping Ramilpril
I had a stent fitted in December 2019 due to a blocked artery. I didn’t have any heart or lung problems and have very good blood pressure. My doctor at the time put me on Ramilpril along with other meds and I have recently developed a bad cough which is driving me mad. Would it be safe to stop taking

Unstable on my feet post HA
Greetings. Almost 2 years ago I had a heart attack. I had a stent fitted and all has been well. The only slight concern is seem to loose my sense of balance and bump into things. I am taking one 3.75 tablet of Bisoprolol a day.
