Slightly breathless after stent
I finally got round to getting a stent for my mild angina last Monday. So far I feel OK but have not tested things out yet with a long walk to see if the angina has gone. However I do experience a slight sense of breathlessness even at rest. Just a slight sensation that I am not fully breathing. Is

Centralized chest pain. Feels like stent pain.
I had a stent put in 3months ago. I went for a walk two days ago and when I slept that night I reinjured an old shoulder injury.Woke up the next morning and have had sharp centered pain in my chest that I can compare to the pain I felt a few days after having my stent. It's very short. One to two seconds

Dodged Another Bullet
I was on Eligard for two years and the hormone treatment was ended in October 2022. On July 3rd 2023 I had a minor heart attack. Fortunately I recognized the symptoms straight away and went directly to the ER. I had a >90% blockage in my right coronary artery, and ended up with one stent in the artery

cardiac stress perfusion MRI
Back in November I had a stent fitted as had angina attack out the blue and my RV was almost completely blocked. Since then I’ve still suffered with angina attacks. My consultant has put me on nicorandil which after fighting the side effects practically cured my angina. I’ve just today had a cardiac

stent
I started having chest pain in March 2022. I was referred to hospital for a CT coronary Angiogram In May 2022. The results showed I had no obstruction of the large coronary arteries. So this didn’t explain my symptoms. I just kept getting worse with many trips to the doctors saying this could be stress

Shortness of Breath
Hi folks, I have been a member of this community for awhile but have never posted. About 4 years ago, I started being very short of breath. Since I am a former smoker, the first thing that came to my mind was lung cancer. I went to lung specialist who ran numerous tests and concluded that my lungs

As such I have fallen between the gaps. I have no idea about what I can and can't do. Im no 6 weeks post

Billiary Stent
6 months on from my transplant and I’ve just had my second stent fitted, I walk at least 2.5 miles a day but I’d like to do a bit more moderate exercise to try and lose some belly fat. My wife is concerned that it could cause the new stent to migrate as well, is she right. Thanks Chris

DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE LAD BLOCKAGE 95%
My Cardioligist did a left heart catheration last weds and placed 2 stents in my RCA that was 99% blocked. That has all seemed to work out well. He also was going to try and stent my LAD that he now says is 95% blocked. He said the entire LAD was 95% thru out the entire LAD. He decided then it would

Pain after stent
Hi, my husband had a stent 18 months ago following an Angina diagnoses and still gets some sharp pain in the chest every now and then which always happens when he is at rest. The pain is quick and sharp and doesn’t last like the Angina pain he had pre stent so he doesn’t need to use his spray. It still
