When to start exercise?
Caveat: I understand I am not asking for or receiving medical advice. Simply canvassing opinion from those with similar experience etc. I had a stent inserted a month ago. It wasn't a planned procedure. I haven't been contacted by NHS cardiac rehab for my initial assessment yet. This could take some

Hi, is this group also help and support for partners of someone who had a heart attack/ bypass CABG? Thank you .
My husband had a heart attack 7 months ago aged 48. They fitted a stent and a week later had a double bypass CABG. He has finished rehab and he is growing stronger each day.

My ex husband had a triple by-pass and not very long afterwards a major stroke. He survived for another 10 years but lost the use of his left side. Had no idea at the time that apparently it is an associated risk. He had high blood pressure but would not get treatment for it so I think this must have

Can coughing irritate a new stent & how bad should chest pain be before I use GTN?
Hello, I've got couple of questions - I know pain is subjective but thought I'd ask anyway! It's about 6wks since my HA & stent. The first few weeks after leaving hospital were tricky, with a few random severe pain events that had me whisked into hospital, despite my protestations, and are now

NHS Stent Treatment
Hi all, At the beginning of August I had the trabeculoplasty treatment. Unfortunately that never worked and my pressure is still really high they are now talking about doing another treatment asap. It’s something to do with putting a stent in my eye and it should help open the drainage and

Amlodipine for angina
My husband, who is nearly 72, had a heart attack in April last year caused by high cholesterol. He had a stent fitted, told that his heart had no damage and was put on Bisoprolol 2.5mg twice a day, ramipril 2.5mg twice a day (now changed to Losartan 50mg once a day), ticagrelor for a year and aspirin

Side effects
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced what I presume are side effects from my current post stent tablets. The tablets are aspirin, clopidogrel, lansoprazole and atorvastatin. Last week I experienced weakness and breathlessness. This week it's a bit of nausea. Has anyone else encountered any

In reply to Amanda with a father who refused a triple heart bypass and has type 2 diabetes. I had a triple heart bypass in 2017 3 months after my wife died.. I do wonder if my wife dying of a brain tumour brought it on. It was not good as 12 months later I had sternal dehiscence and a epigastric hernia

sleepless nights and panic attacks
hi everyone. It’s 5months since I’ve had a stent fitted. It’s been a 2 step forward and 1 step back recovery. Recently, 3 times in the last week. I’ve been waking early hours of the morning and not getting back to sleep. During that time I go from trying to control my breathing to a full panic attack

Cardiac MRI
Hi everyone, Last week I received my MRI result & I’m not sure what to make of it. I’ve got some upcoming appointments to discuss it but they aren’t for a few months yet. It says that I’ve got LVH which I’ve known about for some years, & the ejection fraction has gone up from 45% to 58%, the right

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)
Morning all, Four years ago I had PAD in my right leg. As the surgeon found crystalline deposits when attempting to fit a stent it was not possible to treat it that way and I had a bypass operation instead. Since then I have not felt a single pain in that leg But now I am having the same problem in

Cleveland Clinic - Update
So I took the option of going out of area to The Cleveland Clinic in London for my angiogram that I had been pushing for a year, as I knew something was wrong, although the general opinion was that I was fine and I was beginning to think that I was imagining it. If you feel something is wrong don't give

Ejection fraction
Hi. My husband had a heart attack just over a year ago., with one stent fitted. Had a few ups and downs in the first 6 months, but the last few months he has been feeling really good mentally and physically, and is fitter than he’s ever been. However he had a routine echo a month ago the results of which
