That chest pain for years and years really was something after all!
Do you have unresolved, mystery chest pain? After years of going to the doctor, cardiologist, and ER with chest pain and having the doctors sort of patiently put up with me and tell me the tests didn’t show much—even putting me on blood pressure meds in order to do something for me (even though I didn

IVIG after heart surgery and stopping IBRUTIMIB
12 months ago I was on an Ibrutinib clinical trial for my CLL. Ibrutinib worked great for me for years. I found out I needed a triple bypass due to 95% LAD artery blockage. Not good! A stent wasn’t an option in my case due to necessity for blood thinners. Can’t do blood thinners, aspirin and Irbutinib

just had stent fitted
I would like some feedback on timescales to get back to good level of activity post stent procedure?, I had it fitted after investigating a year long angina diagnosis, up until a week before the op I was playing golf 3 times a week and wondered how long to get back to that level if not better.

How far to push yourself.
I recently had a heat attack whilst abroad on New Year's Day, and had fantastic treatment and from arriving at the hospital to the operating table was just 90 mins. Had a stent inserted and sent home after 4 days. Then told to contact my GP back in UK, to get a referral to get cardio rehab.. Got a letter

Triple Bypass 2 years on.
I sometimes reply to the questions and experiences of others but I don't instigate threads, so this is an exception. Two years ago today, age 64, I was in surgery for triple CABG following a heart attack and one stent in 2019, and a return of some symptoms such as pressure in upper chest and awful jaw

Clopidegrol or Ticagrelor
I have asked my GP to review my medication since my HA and stent op in Sept 2022. I am on the usual Asprin Ramipril Ticagrelor Bisoprolol Atorvastatin. I have been getting burning arm pains since then. He only suggested changing Ticagrelor to Clopidegrol. I am really in confused state as to whether to

Got some cholesterol readings, I don’t quite understand them.
Hi all, I had a blood test this week for liver function and the results included a cholesterol read out. The GP surgery sent me a text to say all the readings were normal. Trouble is I’m 4 months or so post quadruple CABG following Nstemi heart attack in July, am I considered normal on the same scale

unstable angina
Hi I have been in and out of hospital since December with unstable angina. I am currently waiting for my 3rd angiogram so they can try drilling the blockage and fit a stent. 100 percent blocked right coronary artery double vessel disease. I am on so many tablets that I feel,like a zombie. Lisinopril

Relief
Colonoscopy done and dusted, nothing sinister, just a bit of diverticulitis. Just waiting for a March to come now and find if I had a stent as part of ORBITA trial. Hopefully can get myself on list to get my knee done now.

Ureteral stricture surgery/Ureteral retransplantation, replacement of ureter w small intestines etc and specialists who do this
I have a third kidney transplant and a ureteral stricture. We have tried everything to fix the stricture but nothing has worked. So my transplant team decided that surgery was the option ,surgical retransplantation of the ureter using a piece of my small intestines where the stricture was ,in its place

Sternum discomfort
I had a CABG x 3 in July and am recovering well. My main problem is the discomfort/pain where my sternum was wired up. The main problem is at the bottom of my scar. I have lost weight so not much padding, I wondered if this will get better as time goes on. It is uncomfortable mostly when trying to
