Dreaming
So I have been having vivid dreams (could say nightmares) and when I wake up I have symptoms of angina (aching in arms etc) and can feel my heart beating more than normal. I'm unsure whether during the dream my heart is racing faster because of what I'm dreaming about or I'm having the symptoms and that's

Help in deciding when to return to work
4 months ago I had a STEMI. arrested just as got to hospital. Had a stent fitted. It left me with reduced ejection fraction of 40%, some muscle damage and continuous AFib. I’m having cardio version Thursday but they’ve been clear it’s not a cure and if it puts me in nsr I will always have AFib. I’m

Psychological support after CABG
I was wondering how I can help my husband to get over the trauma of what he went through. He just had a bypass at 42 years and this is making him realise how limited his life span is. I know he tries to be positive, but he cannot help but think about what he thinks is his "impending doom" . He said that

Hi All! I had a heart cath, yesterday, and my left arterial descending artery was 98% blocked! There were actually two blockages, one dislodged and broke up when he attempted to place the stent. The pieces then flowed to the next blockage. That one was successfully stented. I am so very grateful that

Medications side effects continue
Hello everyone, I hope your weekend is going well. I am now nearing 6 months post CABG x 4 and still struggling with nausea and vomiting from some of the meds. I was changed to Clopidogrel from Ticegrelor, and am also on Nebivolol. I can’t tolerate the statin tablet so that is an ongoing conversation

Cor Triatriatum and post stent pain.
Hi, I'm a newbie! Quick precis of my story: I was waiting for an angio appt (told 6 month wait) when my heart decided it could wait no longer and I was admitted via A&E and eventually had a stent fitted. It was also discovered that I had Cor Triatiatum since birth, explaining why I'd be pulled out

Vasculitis vs arteriosclerosis, getting pregnant after a CABG and statin/diet questions!
Hi! I’m 34 and have just had a CABG, I’m 6 weeks post op and feel almost back to normal. Yes, I know, I’m young and have bounced! They think that my coronary arteries were damaged by vasculitis I (might) have had when I was 19, it wasn’t diagnosed at the time as I had just classic viral symptoms although

Stent before ablation
I am enormously grateful to this community. I am in an extremely good hospital but nobody speaks good English and I can't expect the doctors to spend too much extra time on me with my limited Russian and Google translate. Good news for those who read previous thread is that my stomach ulcer is not cancerous

Rotablation
Hi all. Well 4 1/2 years after my bypass surgery I found myself with similar angina pains although things went slightly differently this time. At first I think I was in denial about the pain 'was it imagined' 'was it indigestion'? In the end I could ignore it no longer so last Monday (18th) I phoned

Aspirin doseage
I have taken aspirin and Clopidogrel since my HA and CABG last May. I buy aspirin, save the NHS a few pennies, and I inadvertently bought 300mg instead of 75mg. 🤷♀️ So this morning I broke one in half and took 150mg (I tried quarters but ended up with crumbs 😂) I can’t get to the shops until Monday

Cataract and stent op outcomes
Hi All Has anyone had cataract op and how did it go? I had super vision for 4 days and then apparently the lens moved and now it’s not that great. Because I can read the chart they say I can drive but beyond about 5 metres my vision is blurred so I won’t be driving. I know it’s only 11 days but I am

Platelets dropping while on Zejula (Niraparib)
Hi Lovely Ladies. I went through two rounds of chemo for peritoneal CA. A few bumps along the way with a blocked ureter. A stent was inserted and I ended up in ICU with a kidney infection. (Sepsis). All good now in that regard except that my kidney function has been affected - they don't seem to be

Rosuvastatin verses Atorvastatin
Having had a coronary stent fitted in April I'm prescribed atorvastatin 80mg to clear fatty arteries. Would I be better off with rosuvastatin?
