Does anyone know if there is an alternative medication to Clopidogrel?
Hi all I had a stent fitted 16 May 23. As is the norm I was prescribed Clopidogrel which I cannot tolerate due to dreadful gut and bowel issues which is a nightmare. Was prescribed Lansoprazole to counteract these issues only had some minor improvement. Literally, I am afraid to eat anymore. A morsel

Minor surgery after a stent
Has anyone had experience of surgery post stent? What did you do about the daily asprin? I am due to have minor surgery on my eyelid and the Ocuplastic surgeon has written to my cardiologist . The cardiologist writes that although it was 19 months ago and I am doing well he doesn't recommend suspending

Random Tachycardia
Hi Hearties! I had 4 MIs in 2018 at the age of 38. My LAD was stented (99% blockage), I was given a boatload of meds, and sent on my way. In the years that followed, I have had countless trips back to the A&E, with the primary symptom being tachycardia, dizziness/light-headedness, and occasionally chest

recent heart attack
Hello everyone. I had my heart attack three weeks ago this coming Thursday-I was on my narrow boat and actually thought I was having a bizarre panic attack. Anyway to cut a longish story short my partner called an ambulance, they broke the news ‘now don’t panic Lee but you are having a heart attack’

couldn’t fit a stent, what’s next?
Hi, in February I had a big heart attack after suffering a few in the past. I was admitted to hospital where they tried to fit another stent but couldn’t due to calcification in the LAD. I was discharged with new medication, however I’m anxious to know what’s next. Do I need bypass surgery? With

Hi. I had a mild heart attack in October 2021, one stent fitted. Follow up echocardiogram ecg in April 2022, all good, told no further appointments unless there's any problems. I am currently on Candesartan, Bisoprolol, Omeprazole, Aspirin and Rosuvastatin. No one has reviewed this since October 2022

Unstable angina symptoms after stent!
Hi all I had a stent put in yesterday and I was fine after the procedure. Woke in the night with mild angina pain but managed to fall back to sleep eventually. The pain is worse today...constant when resting. Gt spray does nothing to relieve the pain. Same with Relosorb. Just wondering if this is normal

Ticagrelor 6 or 12 months post HA and stents
Hi Can anyone advise why the prescribing of ticagrelor differs between geographical areas, some direct 6 months and some 12 months post stent and heart attack. Is there any short concise research I could read on the rationale/ outcome for length of prescribing?

Pins and needles
I am 4 weeks post HA and stent. In the last week have been waking up in the night with pins and needles down left side. Was bad last night and took 3 hrs to get back to sleep due to resulting anxiety. Spoke to my cardiac nurse who says it's nothing to do with the drugs. She says none of them have that

Thankfulness
Woke up to another grey morning, but have realised I have a lot to be thankful for. Firstly although I discovered I had a "widowmaker" blockage of the L AD, my other arteries compensated and I didn't have a heart attack. Secondly the team at Basildon who looked after me last year before and during the

Angina symptoms
Hello all, My first post here so be gentle! 😃 In October ‘21 I I had severe LAD disease which led to a myocardial infarction & a subsequent stent & all was good. In the last month I’ve been given a GTN spray only because the GP thought I had one, but I never had. I’ve also had an Echo recently,

Week 1
I’m a returning C25K runner, progressed really well in 2019 then ill health struck, then Covid, then last year I had to have a stent inserted. So after much procrastination I slipped into my ill fitting running gear, donned my trainers and put on some good music. I have just finished Week 1 and although

Heart Attack Journal #2
I really didn’t think I’d be back here again. After my first MI in August 2019, I really thought that the medication I was on would prevent a repeat of this. However, 3 ½ years on, it’s happened again. Seems that I’m in the small minority (less than 2%) for whom the standard medication doesn’t prevent
