1st Heart Attack
Hi! Newbie here! My name's Jim. I'm 42. Just had my 1st heart attack. Colluded LAD looks like the cause. 1 Stent fitted. Father of 3, engaged to be married! I just thought this was somewhere I could tell the world and maybe find some help moving forward with my recovery. Also diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes

I Can Do an Oil Change
My latest blog post, where I ponder the paradox of having a "can do" attitude while on disability leave. In other news, I completed chemo back in June, finished radiation in July, and continue on Atezolizumab, Lupron, Abiraterone, and Xgeva. I'm finally beginning to see glimpses of improving health

Operation planned
I don’t comment a lot but I read many of your messages and questions and feel for you all. It’s a horrible journey to be on and I’ve previously been told I had IBS, low pain threshold (definitely not) and imaginary pain. It actually took a nurse to say to me when I came back for another suspected urine

Concerned by chest pain
I'm starting to get worried now. Last week I was admitted to hospital after 4 days of chest pain. I underwent several ECGs and a couple of blood tests and the conclusion was that it was not a cardiac event. I'm now on my 8th day of chest pain. Where the pain is seems to vary - upper chest, lower chest

DVT recovery 6 months in
Thought I’d share my experience and recovery in case it helps anyone else. February this year, I was admitted with severe DVT causing my leg to become ischemic, i am 33, fit and healthy, not overweight, non smoker and rarely drink, and no recent long haul flights. Although the cause of my DVT is unknown

What more can possibly go wrong!!
Hi all. I just thought I’d come on here and vent if you don’t mind...anyone that has seen my previous posts will know my mum had a heart attack and went into heart failure at the end of feb this year. Due to Covid and lockdowns she hasn’t seen any drs or consultants face to face and all appointments

Stent lifespan
Do stents wear out and need replacing ? If so what is the normal life span of a stent ?

Rami[pril and Bisoprol combined leading to excessive tiredness

Bisoprolol and 'weird feelings'
I have a friend (yes folks, I genuinely do) who had a heart attack and a stent fitted 3 years ago. Amongst other things she was prescribed 2.5mg bisoprolol. This was upped to 1 tablet twice a day after she started to complain of a 'weird feeling that went right through her body and ended up in her legs

Blocked Artery
I live in Spain and was diagnosed with Angina some years ago and prescribed medication. After a few years my condition got worse I was given an angiogram, when they discovered a totally blocked artery. I was told that it was impossible to fit a stent and that it was not necessary to have a heart bypass

Blood sugar all over the place
It's been 20days after my 5x bypass. My blood sugar level was not well controlled at all. I'm on metformin 500g x twice daily. BMI 21, I am a type 2 Does cabg affect blood sugar? I'm on iron pills and its making me constipated too. Does anyone have the same experience? I'm also watchful of my food.

Scared after Heart Attack and 3 Stents
I had a serious Heart Attack on July 13th and received (2) stents - 52 year old male. On July 30th, I received a third, due to some additional blockage found. The 3rd stent was scheduled and not under emergency conditions. Overall, my Cardiologist was pleased and said all (3) stents were working well

Low Oxygen Levels - When to be Concerned?
Hi all. I had a major HA 9 weeks ago and had one stent fitted to a fully blocked left artery. I've been recovering pretty well all in all. My EF has gone up from 30% to around 45% and my 'severe left ventricular dysfunction' has improved to 'moderate LV dysfunction'. My question is this, I woke this
