Life has changed
I woke up 5 days ago worse for wear. I was agitated and couldn’t breathe properly. Two times this struck me. Around 5 am and 7am. The para said we’ll run you in just in case. My heart rhythms were fine but the hospital blood test revealed a heart attack. The angiogram revealed 2 main arteries affected

Viagra/Cialis after heart attack
Viagra/Cialis after heart attack, opinions please Having been discharged from Cardio rehab, my last conversation with my very helpful and amazingly knowledgeable nurse was consider Viagra even if I didn’t have any issues. She suggested that I take some time to do some research. I have mentioned this

Newbie Guidance Please
Hi everyone. Apologies in advance, but I have tried searching for the answers before posting but I got a little overwhelmed. I had a HA 9 days ago followed by 1 stent being fitted, with maybe another in the next couple of months. I have 3 areas I would value your guidance on: 1. Acid reflux discomfort

Ranexa
I’ve been taking Ranexa. 8 months after a triple bypass I had an “episode” had my grafts checked out all ok. It seems I have a fourth artery that really required bypass or stent but it was decided it was too thin for work. Decided to use meds instead hence Ranexa. Up to the episode I felt great. Travelled

Bypass or not?
I am 78. I first noticed I had Angina 10 years ago. An angiogram showed two totally blocked arteries and the third struggling. It was not possible to stent them. The angina almost went away completely when I was put on Ranexa. Since then I have been diagnosed with CHF somewhere between stage 2 and

Safe to take supplements?
Hi, With all the meds I'm taking in first year after triple CABG is it safe to take supplements (namely Vitamin D / zinc in winter months)? Or will I be overwhelming my liver? Thanks

Regular episodes of unstable angina
Hi, I had an MI in 2018 which required a stent; up until a few months ago things were pretty good however since April I have had to attend a/e for chest pains and told it is unstable angina. My ecg, bloods and another angiogram do not show a new heart attack (which I am really pleased with) but I am

Sternum Clicking post CABG
I am experiencing Sternum Clicking post CABG. Now 4 weeks since surgery and I’ve had minor clicking for about 2-weeks. Like 4-6 clicks or pops per day, mostly later in the day when I’m tired. Have you experienced this and how long does it take to heal? Thanks so much. It’s a bit disturbing 🙃

Unstable angina
After having a stent fitted in the LAD artery 6 months ago and feeling really well, I now have a slightly uncomfortable tightness in my chest. It’s there most of the time, definitely not the pain of angina, just an awareness. Anyone else had this ?
