Can medication be reduced after a certain time with no problems?
In 2012 I had a heart attack which resulted in the insertion of a stent, fortunately prompt treatment meant there was no major damage to my heart, although I started getting AF attacks in 2016. In 2017 I started taking 100mg of Flecainide and this was successful in stopping my AF attacks. In 2020 I

Insulin working differently after cabg
Hi I've had a cabg x4. Before surgery my diabetes was stable using both a slow release and a fast acting insulin. Since the operation the insulin is reacting more strongly to the same foods & I can't seem get a balance without dropping - and whichever medics I ask they have no knowledge of this. I

Orbits trial
Reading everyone's posts this week about their experiences with the NHS this year I think I have been very lucky. Having eventually been diagnosed with angina after 2 trips to our local hospital's A&E I was referred to Basildon cardiothoratic Centre and they have been fantastic. As you are probably

Fat Feet
I see four doctors. Two neurologists--one for MS and one for PD, A cardiologist and a primary care doctor. All have their own schedules which don't coincide with mine so I see doctors every three months. A couple days ago I saw the cardiologist. He listened to my heart then ran an EKG then

what exactly does a stent involve?
Consultant has just copied me into letter to GP which seems to suggest that the choice is mine, to have or not, and I’m not clear what this would involve! 😬 Any advice, please?

I want to feel normal again
I had a CABG X 3. 5 months ago was hoping to feel at least a bit better by now but just feel worse. The cardiologist has said the way I’m feeling is nothing to do with the surgery. My chest pain is gone but I’m breathless and unable to walk far. I could walk farther a few weeks ago than I can now. I

Calling all patients who have had a heart valve surgery or a TAVI
Hello lovely ones! Some of you may know me already - I had a 2x CABG last Jan, aged 34. Well today is my 36th birthday! I am happy and healthy :D The reason I am posting is that I am hopefully moving in to the world of cardio industry, I was previously in clinical nutrition and artifical feeding.

Don't blame it all on the prednisone! Check things out.👩🏻⚕️ or 👨🏻⚕️
I'm writing to add a soft warning to be mindful. I was diagnosed with GCA in 2019 and finally got down to single digits this summer, I'm taking 5 mg per day plus Actemra. I'm only dropping .5 mg every six weeks. It has been fairly smooth except the fatigue, I did nothing and was [i]so, so tired![/

Just getting worse.
Hello everyone.I had a heart attack in August and had a stent fitted. This was all fine and I was discharged after a couple of days and was a happy man, feeling lucky and ready to get back to some sort of normality. However after a few weeks I had a setback when some nasty chest pains had me visiting

Beauty - laser treatments
Hi, Following my HA and stent in May 21 I have lost 2 stone, with a few more pounds to go! My son gets married next year and purely for vanity I am considering some laser facials which are supposed to plump up the skin and reduce fine lines, which are more prominent since the weight loss. Now I am
