60% to 80% stenosis in mid and distal LAD
Hi everyone, Started the year off in and out of AE with high/low irregular heart beat and AF. Seen Cardiogist, had echocardiogram ( normal ) and CT coronary angiogram. Cardiologist happy that change of drugs will stop AF but now it has highlighted this blockage problem. I am not breathless, even after

Husband ignoring advice
My husband found out he needs a stent 3 weeks ago, he is due to have surgery at the end of March. He already has type 2 diabetes and gout both diagnosed 5 years ago, and is obese. He typically wants medication to manage his conditions and refuses to change his lifestyle of unhealthy eating and drinking

Worried re drink
For the first time in about two years I got drunk last night and now I’m worried I’ve damaged my heart? Has anyone else had one too many after a night out when they have a stent

Clopidogrel and vision
Hi everyone I hope you are managing to stay cool in this heat. I am hoping to come off my Clopidogrel in September, which will be 12 months since CABG. Since I have been taking this my vision has definitely got worse. As a diabetic of 36 years I have to look after my eyes, but they have definitely deteriorated

any advice gratefully received
Waiting time for a stent . i had an angiogram 2 weeks ago after exhausting all other tests to find out why i have a mumur and LBBB. The result which they told me at the time was 80% blockage in LAD . I have just had a call from cardiolgist to say that after discussing my case a stent would be advisable

Heart friendly multivitamins
Hi all, so I’d normally take a daily multivitamin. Hadn’t given any thought into whether I should or not since the Angiogram and stent. Transpires as I’m on antiplatelet medication, I shouldn’t be taking Iron or Vitamin K (contraindications). This advice came from a Pharmacist. Instead I’ve bought these

Bp advice
Hi all, I am a little concerned about my BP. It's slowly getting higher, today's reading was 157/79. I am also hearing my heart beating in my right ear all the time which is a little unsettling. I have contacted my GP, currently only can do so via an online request form which can take up to 48 hours

Unsteady on feet and getting pressure headaches-do you think it is Bisoprolol?
HI, I had a stent fitted the beginning of December and was put on Ramipril, Bisoprolol, Isosorbide Mononitrate, Atorvastatin, Clopidogrel & Aspirin (and Lansoprazole for reflux). In the last 3 weeks or so I have started to feel unsteady on my feet. This tends to go away if I walk for a few minutes,

Massive setback…😡😢😡😢😡😢
Just got word from the transplant team that they now consider me too high a risk for a double lung transplant. As some of you may remember the assessment work up flagged up a calcification build up in a heart vessel ( LAD) which needed sorting. I subsequently went to the Harefield for angioplasty and

BLOOD Pressure concern
My BP has been very low 99/61 pulse 51, following da 116/62 pulse 49. I am taking Rosuvastatin 40mg. I take this at 5 pm. Prior to my heart attack I never had any issue with BP as I was always on the lower side. I have read that it may be to high a dose, and also that taking this medication with food

I am still having difficulties with my food
Well it's been about 5 months since my 3x and stent & I am hoping to get back to work next month. I still have the painful shoulders and going for an X-ray next week- as these steroid injections didn't really help - otherwise I feel great, out walking everyday and enjoying my new life and appreciating
