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
Hello all... I had a very successful Angioplasty 2 weeks ago at the Wycombe Hospital and would like to thank the team there again. I had one stent fitted on the Circumflex artery which was 85% narrowed. I am now on the usual cocktail of drugs and wonder what other peoples experience of Ramipril and

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

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

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.

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

scared of dying
I guess one of my many problems or or at least the one that is dominant right now is my fear of dying. I've always had it and after having six bypasses at 42 and a stent when I was 51+ other medical conditions, I always felt it was justified. But now with the coronavirus and the high probability that

Aftercare from hospital after CABG (or lack of!)
My fiancé had x3 bypass in late January 2020. He had AFib and a heart flutter after surgery and had to spend additional time in icu. He has missed out on all aspects of aftercare - no cardiac rehab and 1 telephone consultation with his original cardiac consultant (not the team that completed his surgery

Permanent dizziness while vertical/walking
Does anyone out there recognise my problem ? Basically every moment I am either vertical or walking, I have about 10-15% dizziness; but none when either sitting or lying down. It's as if I have drunk about 3/4, (three-quarters), of a bottle of a good red wine, but without getting the alcoholic buzz.

Heart Attack with stent
I had a heart attack less than 2 weeks ag and have had a stent fitted. My heart stopped so I had one shock to bring me back. I am so grateful to the doctors who saved my life. I am feeling a bit nervy and anxious and cold and achy is this normal.
