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

Perspiring profusely
Does anybody else suffer with profuse sweating and dull pain in the chest. I started my heart journey in Spain needing stents fitted one year later I was rushed into hospital again with a heart attack where one of my stents in the LAD failed and caused a blood clot. I then moved back to UK as my understanding

Breathlessness advice
I’m at nearly two years post HA (6th May 21) and one stent 😊. I’ve lost weight, fitter than I’ve been in years and eating habits have improved. I acknowledge there is still room for improvement. In the last month I have noticed that I am becoming more breathless when walking or doing jobs like gardening

Ejection fraction 41% post MI ...
I'm just under 3 weeks post STEMI - with 1 stent to the LAD. Echo' a couple of days post procedure showed EF was only 41% .... (I was a late presentation, so myocardial damage was probably greater than it otherwise might have been)... I was previously extremely fit for my age (60's) - with no risk

TIPS Stent Help
Hi I am looking to find someone who is in the same predicament as me. There must be someone out there? I had a TIPS stent fitted in 2015 for severe portal hypertension and variceal bleeding in oesophagus and stomach. Has the TIPS procedure in Liverpool but as I live in Wales, ever since, there seems
