Severe ‘muscular’ type chest pain after stent
I had a stent fitted in February after having ‘muscular’ type chest pain and being a little out of breath. Gp sent me for checks more to do with my fam history. The problem is I am still suffering with intense muscular chest pain including v much on my left side and it’s getting so bad I can’t walk anywhere

Lifestyle after stent.
Hi, I had a stent (LAD) 3 years ago no heart attack as symptoms were just tiredness. I am now 71yrs old and walk 5 miles daily. I am on diazapam 10 mg daily for over 40 yrs and that helps with any anxiety. I find it very difficult to stick with strict diets so basically eat what I did prior to the stents

2 weeks after stent insertion. What can go wrong?
First, thank you to all respondents to everyone's posts. You have been so reassuring / comforting at anxiety producing times. What can go wrong in the early weeks after stent procedure? I didn't have a HA but blockage was discovered. Straight afterwards the cardiologist said, ' blood flowing well, other

Bypass surgery chest wound blistering
I’m new here & wondering if anyone has any advice. My husband had a cabg x 5 in January and his chest wound leaked for a long time thankfully that has cleared up but 3 blisters have formed on the wound now - the District nurse thinks they will reabsorb in time. Has anyone else experienced this?

Post-cardiac rehab support and advice- 42 years old
Hi. I suffered an HA in Aug 21 and had a stent fitted in my RCA. I’m 42 years old and still coming to terms with what’s happened. I was fit and active before this. I finish my cardiac rehab next week and I’m looking for any support or advice as I’m struggling to know where to go next. Im happy I’ve been

1 year since my Widowmaker update
Hi all, Yesterday I had my final check in with the Cardiology doctors and I’m in great health, my heart is strong, I feel strong and I’m now only taking aspirin and atorvastatin. A far cry from walking into A&E on 16/11/20 and suffering a STEMI which stopped my heart for 90 seconds. I was lucky that

Feeling a Bit Frightened and Anxious...
...and it's not even me. Tom, my husband of 50 years, is hitting a wobbly patch so I feel like sharing or offloading - so thanks for listening. His 'widow maker' heart attack was in February and the brilliant emergency services had him whisked away and stented (4) all within a few hours, home again

Statin reaction
This may seem petty and unimportant but two years ago I had a stent fitted as I had a blockage in my LAD . Every morning I take 75m aspirin and 40g Atorvastatin. I usually take these after breakfast about 9.00 the an hour and a half later I feel spaced out. At night I take ramipril and

LAD Artery
So it transpires that my 90% blockage that was treated with a stent on Friday was in my LAD artery! Otherwise known as the ‘widow maker’. Well that’s instilled fear within me straight away. My cardiologist only verbalised during the angiogram that one of my arteries was 90% blocked so needed angioplasty

Ptsd after stent heart attack.
After having a heart attack in mid August, I am suffering bouts of depression, crying and the feeling I could die at any moment. In town shopping I had a quite acute chest pain and then realized my GTNspray was at home. I panicked but after a while the pain subsided and I got home Then another sharp

Hydronephrosis
Ultrasound shows bilateral hydronephrosis. Also my bladder was not emptying. I had a Ureteroscopy done with a stent put in for two weeks as I had two .4 cm stones to pass. The stent was taken out 2 weeks ago, but I'm still having lot of bad flank pain on both sides plus under both sides of my front

Chest pain post angioplasty/stenting
Hi all, So I had a stent fitted (LAD) to open up a narrowing in my artery on Friday morning. Have been experiencing off and on chest pain. Not too intense. More mild to moderate pain on left side of chest. Just wondering how common chest discomfort is post procedure. It could be settling in pain where

Non STEMI
I am new here, I had a non STEMI 2 months ago and was prescribed the most common medications, I.e. Ticegralor, Bisoprolol, Artovastatin and Aspirin. I was fortunate that the angiogram and subsequent ultrasound indicated there was no apparent damage to the heart muscle and I have recovered fully. No

Cardioversion yesterday. On bisoprolol 7.5 for AFib but also needed post MI. Pulse 47/54. Will pulse gradually improve over next few days?
Had stemi. Cardiac arrest and stent fitted 3 months ago. Was in continuous AFib till cardio version. Bisoprolol was for AFib but also to help damaged heart muscle heal post heart attack ( best dose for that is 10mg). So trying not to decrease it. If I stay in sinus rhythm will my pulse improve?

I am having a drilling of the artery as it is blocked. What can I expect please?
So I have had 2 angiograms and one stent. My symptoms are much better but still there a bit. It's due to a total blockage of a small artery. Luckily my heart is fine and no real damage has been done. If I am honest I didn't like the angiogram procedure and this apparently needs two wires in each arm
