Roller coaster mind set
Hi, I am a new joiner, I am 60 and retired from a high pressured and demanding job 2 years ago. I had a heart attack in May 2021 which resulted in one stent. Initially I was very shocked, then the fear, then relief I was fixed. I adjusted very quickly and within one month was back to walking 5 miles

Reason for losing weight
Hi There It is now 5 weeks since my HA, angiogram, and 1 stent, and am doing well, in fact, back to normal. I am still tweaking my diet to make sure my intake is healthy and I only have one query. I have lost about 5lbs in weight, and I put this down to a couple of things, right or wrongly. I have

Second stent operation.
Hi all So I had my second stent put it. This one was more difficult as the artery was blocked. Three hours it took to do but I am very happy with the results. Obviously the area is sore as the stent is settling but with you lovely people on this forum I am much more relaxed and ready to recover. Once

Hellish night
Recently moved from Kent to Peak District to be near family. Suitable hospitals are not near though!! Have CHD and stent and arrhythmia which, according to one cardio may become AF. After 2 hours of erratic heartbeat phoned 111 and got the advice I knew I would, as it wasn’t the first time, get to
