Statins and coffee
I've just a read a line in a piece supposedly in the Daily Express that says coffee might reduce the protective effects of statins. I don't drink lots of it - usually no more than 3 - 4 in a day plus a tea of ordinary instant coffee plus the occasional small ground coffee from a coffee shop, plus a normal

Stressed out by good news?!
Hey guys, Have any of you had one of these stress perfusion MRI scans? They show the blood flow to your heart muscle. I had mine last month and I have just got the results. Over all they are good...I had a 2x CABG aged 34 in January and the report from the scan shows I have 1/16th of my heart not getting

Yikes Prescribed Praluent injection!
Hi. Statins give me bad muscle pain and as I have Fibromyalgia I think the pain is worse. I was referred to the Lipid clinic and put on Ezetimibe with 5mgs of Rosuvastatin but I couldnt cope so I took Ezetimibe on its own but my number only came down to 6.1. It had been 8.5. Now they want me

medicine just dropped, no doctor consult
it’s a year since bypass surgery and my repeat prescription has Ticagrelor missing. I talked a receptionist (can’t get even a doctors consult phone call until 9 August!) Has anyone else had the same … receptionist told me that Ticagrelor was only to taken for 12 months but you would have thought a doc

PPI’s and self injecting
I’m a
gastric
bypass
patient so my PA is man made not autoimmune and I take omeprazole daily. I’ve been SI for a month now and although the results have been amazing, I’m not where I want to be and wonder if I need to continue at a high frequency because of the effects of PPI’s. Thanks x

Feeling ‘flat’ a year after bypass
I am a year post op after an ‘out of the blue’ heart attack and triple bypass. I have also been a Type 1 diabetic for 42 years. I had an unremarkable recovery. No problems apart from a wound infection months after operation when I also had COVID. I wasn’t really ill then either. My life has returned

Chest spasms
Help again please. I have had PMR for over 2.5 years and was taking 4 mg Pred daily. I started with TMJ which was eased with Ibroprofen. A week later I had sore eyeballs and the headache was further up my head. I have all the symptoms of GCA so had my Temporal Artery Biopsy yesterday. All went well so

Any suggestions for an (online) support group?
Hi, my partner recently had bypass surgery and we are looking for an online support group. Would you have any suggestions? We are in based in London, so any groups here that meet in person would also work. Thank you!

Does anybody here take Isosorbide Mononitrate 60 mg twice a day ?
Had a 3 X CABG 7 years ago, I’m now a 64 years old, male. Everything since then has been fine, until recently, as I've now started to get angina attacks in the early mornings whilst asleep, and if I exert myself (like walking to the shops). I had to go to A&E when using my GTN spray did not work on

Anyone experience Bile as a caustic?
The initial gastrologist told me that he normally sees bile reflux in
gastric
bypass
patients. I’ve had no such thing. I did have my gallbladder removed about 20 years ago. (Never any stones, but a gallbladder that was no longer functioning. Sick and diseased, I was told.)

Can you feel your heart post CABG
Hi all I’ve been for a stress test today on the treadmill and the same happened as it did the other day when I tried to go for my first hill walk on the local hills by us. I started off fine but as the gradient increased my heart rate obviously increased but the rate wasn’t massive around 110 the problem

Symptoms a year after CABG, 20 months after Heart Attack.
I would be interested in the experiences of others relating to the aftermath of CABG surgery. Potted history: From around summer 2017 when aged 60, I started to feel a mild tingling and "tight" sensation sometimes under my left ribs, sometimes in my back around the same height. It continued on and

Stopping Smoking
I am so proud of getting to a year+ since stopping smoking. Yes it took a heart attack and a triple heart bypass to give me the 'motivation'. I cannot believe I have no cravings whatsoever, ending a whole day fast and not being bothered about not having a cigarette, simply astonishing to my old self

Does the anxiety ever go away?
Hello everyone, I hope you are having a good weekend. It is now nearly 12 months since I had my heart attack and my CABG x 4. . The road has been bumpy since then. What with challenges with changing medications and wondering if each twinge or slight pain is another heart attack. The main problem I seem

Howdy all. Hope you're all tickety boo. Just a quicky. I joined the BHF forum recently to see if I could get help, support and info from there about the mitral valve stuff but Ive been shocked at seeing some of the venomous responses some peeps have had to, what I consider, legitimate questions.
