Well I have heart disease and a recent stent in my LDA. I get breathless and dizzy with a squeezing in my right lung area and chest when I put my hands above my head to wash my hair/hang washing out or bend over to empty the dish washer or washing machine….then I get extreme fatigued and need to rest

Anniversary or milestone. Think I prefer milestone. It's been a year and a week since my stemi heart attack in 2024. I think I was "lucky?" as my resultant echo showed nothing bad and I was in hospital within 1 hour once the HA started. One stent. I'm in my mid 50's, a bloke, kept fit , never had

Hi, I eventually saw my cardiologist in September 2024 for a sit down face to face consultation. I saw him briefly a couple of times when I had been admitted to hospital. I thought I was on the way to things speeding up as my stent was done in 2022. I got a letter a few days later with my next appointment

Hi ladies I'm struggling. I had my op almost exactly a year ago and chemo finished in June. Scan showed NED, but was soooo tired (and bloated, with pelvic pains that have now stopped) that come October I was given another scan, NED again. However, I am so tired I cannot function. I feel like I have

I had a quad bypass and aortic valve replacement back in 2013. I have been suffering angina for about 5 years now and it is progressively getting worse. Everything in the NHS seemed to progress at a glacial pace so I have taken the plunge and gone private. I had spoken to three cardiologists before

I am recovering from an MCI in July. Feel lucky that I got fixed quickly whilst in Spain and had a stent fitted. I do struggle with what I should and shouldn’t do.

Initially I was taken to my local hospital who didn't want me nor did the specialist

I had a heart attack on the 1st October. Treated with balloon because artery was completely blocked with clots but after second angioplasty was told there was no need for a stent. The attack was very sudden - got up feeling fine and it happened 10 mins later. Since then have had a real loss of confidence

I had a heart attack in August and a stent fitted. After a few days in hospital they allowed me to go home. Today I was due to start my rehabilitation but I received a phone call off my specialist who has just replaced my old specialist to say he wants me back in hospital on the 2nd Dec. Apparently after

Hi. I had a heart attack in May and had five stents fitted. I'm 63 and have now been diagnosed with Ischemic Heart Disease. I've recently been given access to my heart scans. All the stent interventions were successful and say: 'there is a 0% residual stenosis post intervention' - apart from one
