Angiogram-who is to blame?
I was due to have an angiogram last Thursday but because I hadn't paused Apixaban for 3 days before I couldn't have it. The consultant who was to have conducted the procedure met me and simply said "these things happen" but we then had one of the most disagreeable consultations I have ever had afterwards

AVR and bisoprolol and other meds.
I was wondering if anyone has had a aortic valve replacement or open heart surgery and put on bisoprolol or other beta blockers while on an anxiety medication? I had surgery 1 year ago and I am still bedridden and was on beta blockers for 11 months and taken off abruptly and now I'm in a withdrawal.

Bionic Bobby is back
Managed to escape from Askaban after lunch thanks to hot wheels Sam and Mikey on navigation and just got home. Quick resume Angiogram --- coronaries all good . Had 20 min aura following contrast which is a first for me. Only residual problem was the dresssing. Nurse with the clippers who prepped

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

Worries about having a stroke
Hi everyone, this is my first post. I’m a 51 year old female and I had mitral and aortic valves replaced last year so am on warfarin for life. I have real anxiety about having a stroke after having a TIA after having the Astrazenica vaccine. I need to have surgery on both of my knees, probably partial

Before seeing an electrophysiologist
I’ve got an appointment beginning of august to see an electrophysiologist for broad complex tachycardia, SVT, PAF. this is all after muscle damage from heart attack. The letter says I’ll have 2 hours of tests before seeing any doctor. Anyone any ideas what these tests might be? Besides the obvious ECG

Possible AF
Last Sunday I had a dreadful accident. I either slipped or tripped in the kitchen. I had a kettle full of boiling water in my hand at the time. The result was that I badly scalded my leg and was taken by ambulance to my nearest A&E hospital which is 20 plus miles away. Whilst enroute the paramedics did

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

Heart attack I didn’t know about?
I’ve just come back from seeing my cardiologist who said I’m doing pretty well following my quadruple CABG 6 weeks ago but wants me to do some stress tests because I’ve used my gtn a couple of time since. The big thing is now we had time to chat as my surgery was pushed through really quickly following

Doing the Plank post CABG?
hi i am 6 months post quad CABG and in a good place fitness wise. i want to do some more core exercises so was thinking of the plank which I did pre-op. Question, when just lying on my front on a hard carpeted floor I can still feel pain in the centre of my chest which I understand is normal.
