Hi all, Well I saw the surgeon yesterday in fact there were two of them and my appointment lasted 35minutes😳. It didn’t go as I wanted, but I did get some answer’s, they were very good and explained everything. They showed me my angiogram and my CTC results and explained all the flow patterns. My two

However, since having covid a month ago I have had more incidents than in the last year. Has anyone else

This has been awful for weeks now. Using the usual methods to minimize. I've searched far and wide for best intervention and causes. I know structures are a possibility. Diarrhea, bleeding and pain more common so thankful avoided those. Anyone else have this problem and what worked best? I'm

After a lot of research and advice, these are what I went with 😁Brooks Levitate 👟 I tried so many different styles today.. Trail's just didn't feel right 🤔 Think I'm to used to my brook's glycerine But these have a bit of a lower heel drop.. which hopefully helps alleviate my ball of the foot pain

morning all, in April last year I had a hospital admission for suspected heart issues, in September I was told I have a significant narrowing in an artery, not a main one, they tried to start me in a whole heap of meds and suggested a stent, I wanted a chance to avoid all this so for 6 months I have

I am newly diagnosed with Microvascular Angina after months of chest pains, fatigue and feeling generally poorly. An angiogram showed my main arteries are all ok. Therefore it turned out that it is this disease. It is a relief that I can put a name to my condition but equally not great because it’s not
