Concerned I have PAD
Hello All, I used to be on this forum as Judge Dredd but I had to drop out due to some issues on another chat group unfortunately. Had long-term (20 plus years) hypertension and was diagnosed with CAD approx 5 years ago. Underwent a double CABG in Feb 2020 and then angioplasty with stent in Mar 2023

Hey everyone I've had a bit of a social media break. I hope you are all okay Yesterday (30/09) marked a year since my heart attack. I can't believe it's been a year. Since then I've had a Cardiac Arrest and a stent fitted plus a case of pneumonia and I've started running again and I'm back at work (

funny turn
Hello all, About 18 months ago I had a stent fitted - didn’t have a heart attack - but every so often I have chest discomfort, like now. I vape quite a lot (ex-smoker). I’m pretty sure that my current bout of discomfort isn’t heart related but my mind is going bonkers and now I don’t know whether I

Tumor Lysis Syndrome
As a result of developing tumor lysis syndrome 2021 while in the hospital (receiving Ven,) my kidneys were affected. This week I will have a kidney stent removed and possibly replaced. Has anyone had a similar experience? The kidney stents will be done in a hospital.

Concerned
Good morning all, Back in November, I’d had a stent fitted as I’d had a 90% blockage in my LAD. The CT Angiogram done before the Angiohram detected narrowing in multiple arteries. I was 44yrs of age then. Since I’ve made positive lifestyle changes. I’m left wondering though, how is any of us routinely

stopping bisopromol
Hi All, hope you are keeping well. In the last 18 months I’ve paid privately to see the consultant who put the stent inside of me. It started with paying for an echo cardio gram and also a fitness test because I put it down to the meds I was on, but that general feeling of dog****. Fatigued.

Stopping blood thinners after having a stent
Hi everyone, The Doctor has advised my dad to come off his blood thinners which he was put on after having a stent due to a blockage in his artery, he has said to stop them because his stomach is too delicate to handle the blood thinners and it's causing ulcers, my dad's worry is now that he is off them

Stent procedure Dec 2022
Been experiencing short breath, ie I need the need to take deep breath quite often, the cardiologist suggested an angiogram as all other tests seems ok. I was explained that if in the process they will see a balockge of over and above certain % a stent will be inserted. In short I end up with one stent

Having a STEMI in mid 40's...the search for underlying causes / answers for premature CHD.
Hi Everyone, My husband had a major STEMI in March 2023 with a full blockage of his circumflex artery. He was 44 years old and playing 5-a-side football in a local sports centre when he collapsed without warning. Thank goodness it happened there of all places however, as the swift actions of his team
