Anxious after recent heart attack
Hello Everyone I suffered a heart attack a month ago and luckily got to hospital quickly where the clot was cleared and a stent was put in.

Afib in the evening
Hi All, I’m new here and don’t know much about Afib but could do with some help. I had a heart attack in March this year and 1 stent fitted which has been fine. A few twinges here and there but all in all I am now healthier than I have been for years. I eat well, exercise daily and am at my perfect BMI

Stent Fitted LAD Blocked + Atrial Flutter Diagnosed
Hi all - this is a copy of a post I put onto the BHF site a few days ago but haven't received a response so far. The emphasis so far is very much about the HA/Stent recovery and not much about the Atrial Flutter side of things although some of the meds I am taking particularly Bisoprolol/Apixaban are

Audible clicking noises
I’m 5 weeks post CABG, and all’s great so far. I’m having a few ‘loud’ bone clicking noises ‘from somewhere in there’ as I do exercises stretching chest and moving arms and rib-cage. Is this a natural part of healing or should I worry about?

An awful lot going on!
Hello everyone, I'm hoping to get some advice from anyone who has had similar experiences to my own with regards to my many health issues. Some background as follows.. I have inherited Cardiomyopathy which was controlled well by drugs for the last 15 or so years. Back in 2018 my condition had worsened

Lad Block - 1 stent fitted with Atrial Flutter also diagnosed
Hi folks I am a newbie here. As you can see from the title I have recently had a procedure (23 Oct) and am at home recovering. Have to say the cocktail of meds (7) is making me very tired and together with bouts of anxiety - which I have a history of - is not helping at all. I am awaiting to start cardio

Clopidogrel experience
I thought I would share. Had a heart attack back in April and stent fitted, was placed on a cocktail of drugs as most are. I reacted really badly after two weeks and stopped them all bar the clopidogrel and aspirin. I was told not to but I've done my own research and was comfortable in my decisions.

GCA patient saw cardiologist yesterday, med changes
Hi all: So I took, my weatherman to Cardiologist yesterday. Routine checkup, because of the history of CABG 2005 and stent replacement last year and occasional chest pain with flareups. So during his visit yesterday, Mac told cardiologist about needing nitro 3x in one week with symptoms of GCA. This

Pale hands and face
Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone might be experiencing the same thing. Sometimes during the day, my face and hands turn very pale and this is usually followed by a smell/taste that I can only discribe as being like iron. My hands also turn pale when I have them raised above my heart. I've had 1

Monkey whispering in my ear
I’m 5 weeks into double bypass CABG recovery and feeling really good. So good that a monkey on my shoulder has started to whisper in my ear such things as AF and STROKE. I think I maybe need a good telling off and a kick, and need to get on with my life now, (I’m very lucky to be fixed) OR are these

Chest tightness
Hello. I’m a few months down the line from having a Stent in LAD . Totally unexpected as suddenly started having angina after exercise .. just two months later the chest tightness started and has never improved. It decreases slightly on rest and even a conversation lasting more than 15 minutes increases

Just checking please - 48 bpm
Hi fellow heart-people I hope you are all well. It’s my four week anniversary of CABG double bypass and doing well so far ! I hope this progress continues. I bought an apple watch and perhaps have become too obsessed by the heart monitor. It is showing my BPM at rest as 48/49. I’m on Amiaderone for

I am on the list for a stent in possibly Jan/Feb/March.But who knows with this blooming Covid! Apparently I shall have lifelong Clopidigrol after

Apixaban
My warfarin has been ceased and I have been commenced on Apixaban. Since taking Apixaban I have been breathless and feel tight in the chest. I have had double CABG and a bovine valve replacing my aortic valve. Any suggestions should I go back to warfarin or continue with the Apixaban for a few more
