Oesophageal stent
Hi My mum has just has a stent fitted, it’s been 8 days now and she has terrible pains and nausea so bad that she can’t eat, she had to be admitted to hospital for an IV. She is back home now but is still suffering from the same conditions, I was wondering if anybody had any advise or has had this treatment

Have you had an endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage? Request for help from National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE)
Bile is a fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gall bladder that aids in the digestion of fats. Biliary obstruction is when the channels carrying bile from the liver and gall bladder into the small intestine (bile ducts) become blocked, and is most commonly caused by tumours or gallstones. This

Anxiety Struggle
Good morning, well here goes another day. As soon as I wake up I think I can hear my heart pounding and just seem anxious all day. I was taken off Citalopram back in March following a heart event (not a heart attack but diagnosed with CAD with a narrowing in my LAD, no stent needed at the moment). I

Hi everyone! My husband was prescribed Leaquin after stent replacement. I forgot the equal antibiotic that you all recommended and tried to ask the doc but he looked at me like I was just plain old stupid! Feeling tired and frustrated, sitting here with this prescription in my lap. Thankyou to all

Bronchitis, hospitalization and pancytopenia
hi everyone, I am currently on peg 45mcg/week and somehow got a nasty bronchitis that I was unable to shake. I was sent by my GP to the hospital ER to receive IV antibiotics and they decided to admit me because of my past history of having a heart attack and current stent (that’s another story). While

6 month study for use of stents versus placebo effect
Had the angiography/angioplasty friday. Obviously don't till the end of the 6 months whether I had a stent or not. Procedure went well not to uncomfortable just felt a bit of tugging. Choice of music to listen to. Problem after as groin incision decided to seep so ended up having injection to tighten

Views on running after CABG?
I suppose this is a addressed to people who used to run before their operation.I used to run and I wasn't very good.Pre op on a treadmill I could run at 5mph, or twelve minute mile pace, if I veered over this I might have chest discomfort and had to take a rest.I was warned not to exert myself but felt

Down hearted
This is going to be long winded but it is getting me down. Those of you who have read my posts will know that in 2020 i had two stents fitted one in each artery which led to so many things appearing, frozen shoulder in one arm tennis elbow in the other. Due to walking as part of my rehabilitation i found

I've been lucky because i am fairly content on a pillow slope and laying stock

overwhelmed
Lockdown and last child leaving for uni caused loneliness and the inevitable comfort eating. I went to doctors with heartburn and discovered it was a HA - stent fitted and new tablets I went home and within days was readmitted with biliary sepsis and statin related hepatitis. Then I went to Mexico

I have PMR and blood pressure just plummeted for no reason. Ideas???
I live in Australia. I started with PMR in late August 2021. It was hit with 50mg of Pred and that stopped the excruciating pain it's tracks. Then the hard part started. I initially knocked chunks off the Pred, coming down really fast from 50mg to about 6 mg in three months. I had the odd bout of neck

Why do I keep experiencing involuntary sharp intake of breath.
Hi I am m 3 weeks post CABG and increasingly I am experiencing sudden involuntary intake of breath. I can only describe it like when a child is sobbing and then suddenly draws in breath. My Sats are all good, breathing is otherwise normal. Has anyone else had this? 🥴

Angiogram results
Well yesterday was my test day. I posted about it was going to be an angioplasty but I didn’t really want stents if there was a problem I wanted another bypass as it’s so close to my Quad CABG being done last year then I’d rather get it fixed then repaired. I had a long chat with the cardiologist and

beta blockers
Why do the docs love prescribing these type of drugs. I never had them prior to my cabg. I have suffered the dizziness and light headed ness but it’s the overwhelming fatigue that gets me down. So last week l decided to record my b/p twice a day to see if that sheds any light on the situation. Long story
