Next Steps
So in chatting with my GP he advised that the next step is for the cardio rehab nurse to discharge me to him. He said then they will see me in 12 months. Is this the norm after having STEMI and stent 7 weeks ago?

Aortic stenosis
Hi, I have heart disease and had a stent 2 years ago,I'm on a cocktail of medication.I had an echocardiogram recently that shows mild aortic stenosis and mild/ moderate aortic reguritation. This was a surprise to me as this has never been mentioned until now.Looking back at a CT Angiogram from 2019

chest pains
I had a stent in my LDA 4 years ago. Over the last 2 years I have had intermittent chest discomfort symptoms which tie up with unstable angina, although nitro spray doesn't help. 2 years ago had a myocardial perfusion scan which showed good blood flow to the heart. Still getting the discomfort, though

I had a heart attack twelve months ago and had a 4.5 cm stent fitted to LAD. All test are clear but still get pain sometimes - consultant has told me that I have blockages in minor arteries that will cause angina pain but not serious. Is anyone else in this position? thanks Richard ❤️🩹

Statins causing muscle and joint pain.
80mg Atorvastatin, 10mg Ezetimibe, 2.5mg Ramapril, 90mg Ticagrelor, 2.5mg Bisoprolol, 75mg Asprin, 20mg Omeprazole. Had my MI in August 2023 and had a single stent fitted. Another artery was slightly clogged but the hope is medication for cholesterol will keep the blood flowing . From August I

no stent-tortuos artery
Hi all who replied. I did have angiogram, apparently the LAD is 65-70%, then another part 74%, BUT it is what they call a tortuous artery, really curved and twisted, looked like a country lane on the angio, with corners! So apparently difficult to stent and made the decision not to and treat with meds

Feeling emotional
Just wanted to get things off my chest! I had a heart attack out of the blue on 31st May. I have written a very long story about it in my bio. My hubby is working abroad. I care for our 3 teenage children and the oldest is 19. When I was back in the ward after my angioplasty and stent, I phoned my husband

Heart attack
When I add my heart attack, I also add 2 cardiac arrests while they was fitting a stent. Now I have been diagnosed with ischeamic heart disease. I was wondering if anyone knows how much damage cardiac arrests cause to your heart

red spots around ankles and lower legs
Hi all Anybody else have these. They’ve appeared on both legs. Up past the knee on one leg. Kim 14 months post stent. I’m on Omeprazole, asprin, Bisoprolol, prasugrel and Atorvastatin. I’m going to try and get an appointment with the gap tomorrow.

Heart Attack- 1 year review of medication
Good Morning, It will be coming up to a year soon of having my HA & Stent fitting. I will get a review of all medication I currently take, I would like not to be on any! But I feel anxiety of coming off them and having another HA. I guess this is normal. I’m just looking for any advice or your experience

Numb hands
After my sHA and stent I now wake up with numb hands, almost like pins and needles. I mostly wake on my back so it's not from lying on them. It goes away after a few minutes of being awake. I wondered if anyone else has experienced this. Ta 😀

Difficult week
After my last admission I was experiencing considerable pain again , went to hospital & after ecg was blue lighted to Belfast. I was having a stemi and my right artery was blocked. A stent was fitted straight away but unfortunately I went into cardiac arrest afterwards, I'm so lucky I was in a hospital

best time to take statin and BP meds
Hi, wondering what the consensus is on best time to take these meds . Originally, I was told to take BP medication’s at night along with my statin. While in the hospital, getting my stent, I was told to take my BP medication in the morning and the statin at night. Thank you

Stent - do I need one?
I have haad scan, stress test, and there is a suspicion of LAD giving problems, but nothing conclusive. I was put on Beta blockers, statins, and now I have no pains, low blood pressure and am walking up to 18 miles a day with group. I do get raised heart beats if I walk to fast, or am physically tired
