gout - aspirin?
hi. I’m 4 months post CABG x 2 and 6 months since a stent and going on all the meds including aspirin Clopidogrel ramipril bisoprolol Statins etc etc. I thought I’d got away without side effects but I’ve now had two severe gout attacks in the past month. Joints in my feet swell up with extreme pain and

Should I ask for a echocardiogram?
I'm in A &E at the moment having started with short, sharp chest pains early this morning. My first lot of bloods come back ok, troponin just 6, awaiting results of second trop result. I had Nstemi, angiogram and stent fitted December last year. Pain was nothing like I had today. I've been back to A

Struggling to exercise
Hi, I had a heart attack a year ago with a stent, and had an echocardiogram a few weeks ago and just got a letter 2 days ago telling me I had basal inferior hypokinesis (whatever that is!). I had no cardiac classes just phone calls due to covid. I started exercise at home with the best of intentions

Hello all, I've been browsing this forum recently and there's so much warmth and advice given that I'd like to share my story and hopefully receive some reassurance/advice in return. I'm a 44 year-old man who's a single father to a beautiful 14 year-old daughter. The last few years have not been kind

Ciprofloxacin Horror!
I don’t know where to start. I had been taking this drug for over a year until two days ago when I stopped it myself. I was prescribed it last April while in hospital with ARLD and alcohol hepatitis. I was very poorly and since recovered from it. My first blood tests after discharge were normal but

Completely beat physically and emotionally
At the age of 45 I experienced intermittent chest pain (even when at rest), sweats, headaches and fatigue. I was sent packing from A&E as tests were normal. I saw a cardiologist privately and they found a critical blockage of my LAD. I was reassured that I was fixed with a stent and all my risks were

Advanced PCa & Kidney Disease
I'm getting a CT scan soon to follow up on my ADT failure. They are concerned that there may be sign of kidney disease. It seems like it's relatively common in PCa warriors, so I'm presuming people have experience. I just checked on the kidney disease symptoms and I seem to have most of them. My onco

I had massive HA last year had a stent put it doing really well. But I keep on noticing my ankles are really swollen even when I get out of the bed in the morning they are still there. In the afternoon before I cook the evening meal I sit down with my feet up but it never goes down. As anyone else experienced

Heart attack problems
Hi everyone Sorry to say I had a minor heart attack on Thursday, but fortunately my wife rang 999 and everything after went as smoothly as clockwork. Ambulance arrived within 10 minutes and they did ecg scans at home and in the ambulance. They then phoned ahead to the Cardiac care unit, who admitted

Is PMR always bilateral?
It’s 2 1/2 years since original onset and diagnosis of PMR with bilateral upper arm pain. I started on 15mg of Pred and have been reducing slowly using Dorset Lady’s plan of 1/2mg reduction every 5 weeks, since I got to 8mg. However since reducing from 4 to 3 1/2 mg I have pulsating pain in my right

Angina after CABG x3 and Clots
I had cabg x3, aged 56 on 16th September this year followed by internal bleeding, AF and collapsed lung. (I never do anything easy!) Was meant to be a quad but I had no 4th vein to use. Was sent home after 10 days in hospital. 2 days later was rushed in A&E by ambulance with a Saddle Pulmonary Embolism

Heart ache - stress different from exercise (angina?)
I'm interested in my different kind of aches! I used to have angina, from exercise - drugs and a stent has stopped that, though I did experience a lot of 'bruising' ache after the stent, particularly when I tried to be 'normal' again and not wrap myself up in cotton wool - though I'm now so keen just

Leg Question after CABG
Hello Just a question on how people's leg wound has behaved after Vein removal for use in the bypass op. After 7 years mine has started to play up with a little pain around my ankle well more than a little pain really! My Dr has asked for a doppler test to see what's going on as I have also just developed
