Stat bike exercise?
Today was a visit to the cardiologist. Two years ago I had 100% obstruction of the LAD, one of the major arteries feeding the heart. It was cleaned out then a stent put in. Lately I've had chest pain similar to the pain from the obstruction. But a recheck says the arteries are still wide

Cabg issues
Hi My dad went in to hospital for cabg last monday. He was so happy about getting it done so quickly. It was all good until he had an episode the following night, we believe a heart attack. He has damage now to his heart. He is still on a ventilator and they are trying to keep him stable. I am so scared

Cardiac rehabilitation
I had a heart attack and stent fitted in April and the hospital staff were absolutely amazing. Since my discharge things changed drastically no cardiac rehabilitation classes just a few odd phone calls. Made an appointment with my GP for a meds review in June and the earliest telephone appointment

Just joined, found you by accident!
I'm from Northern Ireland. I had a heart attack in 2016, a stent fail in 2019 and an unexplained issue in 2020 - spent a week in hospital with a slightly elevated Troponin level (very slight but higher than my usual) and chest pain. I wouldn't allow an angiogram due to the horrible experience I had when
