Vaping
Hi guys, I had a stent fitted at the end of June this year. Does anyone have any advice on vaping? Is it dangerous to carry on? I'm on the lowest strength available.

After a cardio version what things should you avoid doing in relation to exercise or every day stuff? To reduce risk of returning to AFib?
Post HA, arrest and a stent ( which put me into continuous AFib) 3 months ago Saw arrhythmia specialist yesterday and will have 1st cardio version in about 4 weeks. I was very fit and used to exercise before this lot. I’m now in slow lane at swimming and get breathless walking to quickly or up a small

Newbie.... Just joined and trying to make sense of this new situation in my life!
Had my heart attack back in June, stent fitted, lots of complications. I had previously been fit and healthy (or so I thought), weak as a kitten when I came out of hospital and have slowly got stronger... Three and a bit months later still off work. Been through all the emotions, tears and low points

Are there any natural supplements really worth taking for AFib? There’s so many claims out there.
Been in permanent AFib since stemi, cardiac arrest and stent fitted 2 months ago. Not obese never smoked exercised hard 4 times a week. Curious about supplements but also curious about medical treatments of cardiac version and ablation as I’m seeing arythmia nurse to discuss options next week. Any info

AF frustration
Good morning, My husband had a NSTEMI heart attack in June of this year and his recovery has been slow due to repeated episodes of AF, he hasn't had an official diagnosis yet as the aftercare has been very limited and he hasn't seen a GP or consultant since having his stent fitted. He had an episode

Isosobride mononitrate
Had cabg x 3 2 years ago. 1 yr later discovered a problem with a 4th artery. Too narrow to stent. Given Ranexa to control angina type episode. Worked for about a year although I’ve been having hearing problems so when I had another episode didn’t want to increase it so meds changed to the isosobride

GCA culprit with possible plaque in artery
Has anybody had stents put in with GCA being the main culprit? I went for a scan and got the results and I can't find anything that means it's good or bad. My appointment with the vascular surgeon is tomorrow and was wondering if anyone on here can tell me if my distal external iliac artery is high

Heart Pills and Eczema
Nearly 10 months after starting on heart pills (ticagrelor, aspirin, ramipiril 2.5 , atorvastatin. lanzaprolole) following an angiogram (1 stent fitted), terrible eczema eruptions on my whole body plus itchy scalp and blocked ears. Could this be a side-effect of ramipiril which is a thiazide diuretic

No stent extra meds
After having a cardiology angiogram last I was told then by the cardiologist that I would need a stent but he would speak to colleagues.
