Cycle No More – or maybe?
I had my latest angiogram on Friday 5 mar, the result of which was that no additional stents were fitted and that no physical improvement actions were implemented. Although I was aware of the possibility that no improvements would be possible during this process I really was not mentally prepared for

Questions about stents and support
Update and questions I haven't posted on here for a while for many reasons (including the whole COVID thing) but as I'm still trying to get my head round stuff and had questions, I'm hoping there are some of you out there who can offer me some ideas/support. I'm currently seen at the Brompton, where

Coronary Angiogram
I'm due to go into have this on Wednesday. Very relieved, slightly nervous... more than slightly when I think about it too much. The hospital have decided to do a two in one so to speak, if they find it's a blocked artery they will put in a stent whilst I'm there so I'm taking blood thinning tablets

Heart Twinges after physical activity
I had 3 stents fitted after MI in April last year. Every now and then, I get twinges in my heart. I this is normal and nothing to worry about. I cycle at least 5 days a week for 6 miles, HR up to 130 with no issues. My concern is, after being very active over the weekend, house clearing, I am having

anxiety after a stent fitting
Hi. I'm new here. I had a series of HAs, an angiogram and a stent in the LAD coronary artery two weeks back, in Oxford's JR hospital. Everything was fine, and this miraculous operation described as 'routine'. Since then I've often felt perfectly ok, but have also had days (and nights) where I almost

Angina
Hi all, Can I ask what your angina pains you get, as I am having different pains recently like electric shock to the heart they only last for a second, the other night I had about 8, I took gtn and the pain did go eventually. My doctor at the hospital said that shooting pains are not a symptom of angina

New girl unsure of what things mean
Hi Im new here & unsure of what this all means. I have had a few episodes of chest pain with pain in my jaw. (Four times it has happened in 7 weeks) GTN spray does help, I have needed to use it twice in two of my funny turns & three times twice. No evidence of a heart attack from ECG or blood tests

Angina and ECG
I have just come home after 2 days in hospital following an episode of prolonged chest pain which I treated with GTN spray, but which kept coming back over several hours. Doctor in A&E diagnosed heart pain and I was admitted. Kept having episodes and was put on a GTN infusion, which helped the pain

New and nervous about Angina and how to cope with it until CT Angiogram diagnosis.
I have recently been treated for suspected angina and awaiting CT Angiogram diagnosis. From getting symptoms when walking, I now get regular attacks whilst sitting relaxing. I’m on Bisoprolol, aspirin and GTN spray. Having fainted with early use of GTN I’m nervous about using it. I don’t get pain

Angina progressively getting worse
Just wondering if others have had similar experiences of Angina symptoms getting worse over 6-12months. Had a stent fitted in main left artery at the end of April20 instead of having a bypass because of Covid. They sent me home with the standard meds and I thought I was fixed, sadly I still got Angina

Hi all I had a small heart attack in Oct 2015, had one stent then and another in January and then another in July of 2016. I haven’t felt right all the way through, continual chest pains at rest and walking and breathlessness. Nobody can seem to get to the bottom of things. I’ve had 5-6 angiograms, stress
