Any help with a breathing diagnosis really appreciated.
Hello all, love this forum, it’s been so incredibly helpful to me! ❤️ I am a 48 year old man. I am fit and healthy (well I thought I was!) 5 months ago, (March 2024) after some chest pain whilst running, I got diagnosed with coronary artery disease in my LAD and I was booked in for a stent fitting.

Chest pain during AF after stent
I am 75 year old female. I have had PAF for 10 years and it is now segueing into something more continuous - 3-4 times a week for 12 hours or so. Here's my problem. 2 weeks ago I had a N-STEMI, and an angiogram revealed a severe blockage in my right coronary artery. .... up to 94% at one point. A stent

Well I had my 7 month face to face chat with the cardiologist yesterday. I had tonnes of questions which I did email to him a month before the meeting. 1)My Question- At the point of the angiogram what condition were all the other important heart vessels in? They didn't require stents. Was that because

Ticagrelor after 12 months
I am coming up on the 1 year anniversary of my HA. I am only supposed to take the Ticagrelor for 12 months after my stent was fitted, but am now starting to worry a little. Is it OK for my GP to confirm that it is OK to stop taking it or should I try and get an appointment with a cardiologist. I would

Female. Longstanding much worsening PAF, and recently diagnosed ischaemic heart disease. Just home from hospital from an episode variously described as a heart attack and acute coronary syndrome - no idea what the difference is. I understand the AF is a separate entity that needs treating as such

Coming off of medication?
Hello, My husband (age 46) had a heart attack in December and had a stent fitted in his LAD artery. The surgery went well, all other arteries were clear, he attended the rehab programme and was coping well and was discharged. He’s on quite a lot of medication - aspirin, beta blockers, statins and ACE

Feeling dizzy during gardening
Hello fellow hearties. Quick question, when I kneel down, stand up, kneel back down, stand up etc, shuffling along to the next patch of weeding, over time I begin to feel more and more dizzy. I know this is a perfect excuse not to kneel down to do the weeding but does anyone else get the dizziness? I
