Possible GCA.
High dose because of
gastric
bypass
. Only got relief at high dose. Been tapering. Down to 3mls 9mgs. then had flare and increased to 5mls.15mgs. some relief. Then the headaches started. Went to urgent care and then saw GP. Both diagnosed tension headaches. Prescribed Tylenol. No relief.

My mum is going to have ICD box - please share experiences :)
Hi, Until a few weeks ago, my mum didn’t (knowingly) have any heart problems but her resting heart rate went to 174 on her Fitbit and wouldn’t go down so she went to hospital. They had to give her a shock to get her heart rate down. They did an angiogram and realised she had 3 clogged arteries

supra-arterial myotomy
hello has anyone had this heart surgery? It seems to be more available in US but not so in UK. Technically it’s cutting the heart muscle open to release the (most common) LAD which grew inside the heart muscle instead of on the surface of the heart during pregnancy so is a congenital heart defect (myocardial

Recovery post heart bypass.
My Grandad had a heart attack about 5 weeks ago, and subsequently was hospitalised. He then had a heart bypass just over two weeks ago, and thankfully he is now back at home. Since he came home he has struggled to sleep and has told my family and I that he is very dizzy, sick and tired. I can understand

rhubidium scan result and angiogram/stents next week
I have more than 10% ischaemia in the lateral wall (circumflex territory) and epicardial calcification on CT for cancer surveillance. How mild or serious is this? I am having an angiogram next week with stent if possible but there is a chance I will need a CABG instead. Any similar experiences?

Angina after CABG x3 and Clots
I had cabg x3, aged 56 on 16th September this year followed by internal bleeding, AF and collapsed lung. (I never do anything easy!) Was meant to be a quad but I had no 4th vein to use. Was sent home after 10 days in hospital. 2 days later was rushed in A&E by ambulance with a Saddle Pulmonary Embolism
