Post stent feelings

Anyway, around a month ago after suffering chest pains when exercising, I was told I had exertional angina, was given the wee spray, which helped However, a few weeks later, I was starting to have chest pains when doing nothing strenuous

Ramipril titration.
Hi been on Ramipril 5mg for 8 years or so and six months ago noticed blood pressure was in the 150/70ish mark. Contacted cardiologist for advice and he just said up your dose to 10mg once daily. Blood pressure in the morning first thing is still around 140/70ish but drops during the day to 112-120 ish

How long for stents to settle?
Hi, Firstly, sorry for the long post! I am 49 and earlier this year I was suffering with bad heart burn (have a history of gastric issues), which the GPs tried treating with various prazoles ending up with me on Pantoprazole. After talking to one of the GPs (never got to speak to the same one twice!

Ladies problems (comes with a warning of fairly graphic detail lol)
Hi all, Had my angiogram and stent fitted in my LAD (was 90% blocked) and started on daily aspirin, statin as well as an anti-platelet drug for twelve months. Since, when I’m having a period, I’m losing so much, the blood loss is constantly flooding my sanitary products, my underwear, through my clothing

For all those reluctant to have this procedure I would say , go for it ! I had 2 yrs of heart attacks , 5 angios until the last one when the surgeon suggested a bypass would give me a better life than going in and out of hospital getting stents in and them failing . I had my op 11 months ago and would

Hi Has anyone suffered from shortness of breath from Ramipril? I have been taking them since my HA in Oct 2020 and stent fitting. However, I thought my shortness ofbreath was due to my heart failure, but I actually saw a cardiologist this week for a follow up who gave me eneplenone (sorry about the spelling

Raised Bilirubin level
Dear Hearties, I had a heart attack 3 years ago. I was fitted with a stent and I am taking a cocktail of medicines after that. They are Atrostatin 80mg, Losartan and Bisoprolol. I have been told by GP that my bilirubin is high. Is this could side effect of the above drugs? I also use Paracetamol 2 tablets

Trying to cope after HA
Hi all - new here Had a HA last week (at a young age of 37!) here with 2 stents and a balloon angioplasty on my LAD. Apparently due to my age and lack of apparent risk factors, ,my case was pretty unusual and discussed within the cardio team. Having never been in hospital as an adult (nor even blue-lighted

Update
HI my friends! I have now seen my MPN specialist twice. I was back to see him in Nashville on November 29. My diagnosis has changed from ET to PV which is what I kept thinking (since April)! My HCT was at 47.5, so I had my first phlebotomy of 500MLs. Yahoo! I had been begging my previous Dr to do this

metal vs plastic ureteral stents
I just had removal of bilateral stent placed in Sept.2021-- the urologist mentioned the possibility of stent failure requiring nephrostomies-- he said he didn't have experience with metal ureteral stents which I inquired about thinking they would withstand the cancer should the tumor grow--- I have

Scared again
I was diagnosed with CHD in 2017 and had one stent put in LAD. I had been experiencing very mild exertion chest pain. Since then I have had not pain, that is until very recently. On walking uphill, I get very mild pain which I have only just had the courage to confirm as angina by using my GTN, which

BY Pass surgery coming in February. Recovery time ?
I am Philip. Britsh but living in Riga, Latvia . 79 Yrs old. Was rushed into hospital in August after heart attack and a Stent was put in on the most serious blockage. Three more to come ! Doc said a week in hospital then probably 3 months gradual recovery to get back to normal. Is this right ?
