Come out feeling worse than when I went in!
Well following 8 months of worrying about having a heart attack, it’s happened. Admitted to hospital for a week, had angiogram which was the most horrendous experience but no need for stent as the culprit artery is too small to stent so prescribed a lot of medication. This was my second angiogram this

I’ve made a year.
Hi all, well yesterday the 17th was my first birthday, 1 year since my quadruple CABG. There has been ups and downs and there still is, but I’m still here and that’s the main thing as I should never have survived the first HT according to the surgeon and other cardiologist’s. I just hope it doesn’t go

Losartan not effective
After my procedure with stent my doctor asked my GP to keep my BP at 135/80 on discharge note. I was on rampril 2.5 mg for sometime which was fairly successful for few weeks but then I had dry cough at nights and BP was also shooting up 150 /100 . When I spoke to gp (doctor) they changed it losartan

Rotoblator treatment for unblocking lad artery
After an out of the blue heart attack 5 months ago and a stent being fitted I am now due back in hospital to have my heavily calcified LAD artery drilled out by a rotablator procedure and then having a stent fitted. This is all new to me - anybody had this treatment done who could fill me in on what

Worried
3 months after acute heart attack and stent I'm still short of breath if I do any walking. Is this normal? I quit smoking after 45 years.

Update on CABG
Good morning everyone. Finally getting to see Cardiologist on tuesday after my referral for the surgery was overlooked. I was in hospital again two days ago, basically sitting at home, felt nausea kick in and my resting heart rate went up to 168bpm and blood pressure 153/102 😒 . Usual scenario in A

Diagonal branch
Hi, I had a HA last November resulting in 4 stents fitted , while having this done consultants tried putting in a 5th stent in my Diagonal Branch. They Had no luck after several attempts and decided to leave that one. Nearly a year has gone past and I still have sharp pains and dull aches on the left

Taking part in Watchman trial to establish if it’s safe to come off anti-coagulants like Apixaban
Good afternoon everyone. On Thursday I am scheduled to go for a procedure to have a Watchman device fitted inside my heart at John Radcliffe Hospital here in Oxford under supervision of the Cardiac Research Team. I volunteered to do this as part of a world wide trial covering 3000 patients to assess

Just started Isosorbide Mononitrate
Hi My husband is 67 and had two stents 17 years ago . He has been fine up until now but due to some breathing issues has been checked out and one stent has started to block and there is stenosis before and after the stent in the LAD and a large branch before the stent showing tight proximal disease.

Post stent operation recovery
HI everyone. I had 1 stent fitted on 01/09/2022. I am really struggling, both physically and mentally since the operation. Doctor prescribed me statins and prasugel. I am now struggling with extreme fatigue, so I am turning to you for advice. Before I was diagnosed with 1 blocked artery

Fast heart beat
I had a double cabg in late January and am recovering well with no complications. I saw my cardiologist a few weeks ago and asked him all the questions I had in relation to all the little things that are worrying me slightly. He said that everything I described was perfectly normal and natural, ( including

orbita trial
it's been a few stressful weeks, my mum unfortunately passed away just over two weeks from having the operation to mend her broken hip. She was 104 and I think at the end she just gave up, did get pneumonia. Had a few not very bad angina attacks which I think we're stress related as not had any

Back pain after stent

Another stenosis close to first one!
Hi everyone. I had a stent fitted for a stenosis of my LAD artery 26/10/21. I continued to get chest pain which got much worse in May 2022 where I've since had to use my GTN spray whenever I'm active. I was reassured can't be cardio so must be gastro. I do have gastro issues and had an oesophageal
