Working normal after stent or by pass?
Hi, I would like to know if there is someone here who had stents put in or by pass and is working out as if nothing had happened, I mean, training really hard, getting weights.

Post Operative Aortic Valve replacement, single CABG. 2019. Week ago, TIA admission to A&E and ward for 24 hours. Support needed please?
Post Operative Aortic Valve and single CABG July 2019 . On July 28th 2021 I had TIA, out of the blue. Paramedics called, taken to A&E, all investigations carried out, then up to the stroke ward for 24 hours. Home but feeling really shocked, and anxious. Live on my own. Is there a support group for this

Exercise after stent
How should you wait after having 2 stent put in. After 3 weeks I still can’t take a brisk walk, as when I do I feel pressing pain in my heart.

Is it possible to take a biopsy of a cardiac artery plaque in order to determine exactly what it contains?
Hi All I was found to have, via CT Angiogram, in July 16, a very high Calcium Agatston score of 1315. I then had CABG in Feb 17 at age 66. The day before I asked if it was possible to do a biopsy of a plaque, to help in identifying what they contained. They said it was not possible. Is this correct?

Dreams
I had my HA about 3 years ago and had a stent fitted. Since then I have been fine, but something that puzzles me is that whilst I sleep well I do seem to dream so much more nowadays! Whether its age catching up with me (83)? Although I am fit and walk 2-3 miles every day, or whether I have always done

Asthma
I've had cabg heart op after heart attack back 21 years ago. Always since then I've had pain in left side of chest under ribs at bottom. I blamed it on the heart op. I've recently had lung function tests at hospital and apparently I have chronic childhood asthma! Is that causing all the pain and tight

Stent
Hi Last November my husband, 46 was diagnosed with stable angina. He was referred for a CT scan in January. February he had a call from the hospital to say go straight to hospital for a stent. He had 2 stents put in his main artery to his heart. He gets a small amount of chest discomfort. He is on aspirin

Anyone experienced internal bleeding after taking Ticagrelor and aspirin at the same time?

Spotty face
Hi I had a small heart attack in November 2020 and feel great after having a stent fitted. I’m on the usual meds and wondered if anyone has suffered with a really spotty face? I’m 61 and never suffered this badly in my teens! Could it be the meds? They also don’t heal quickly either due to the Aspirin

Fit healthy 50 year old woman starts running!!
I don’t enjoy running but recently started it again and now up to 4K each time. Just trying to improve my speed at the moment before I increase distance . It is the only thing that gives me comfort knowing that I don’t have any new blockages and that I am fine. I’m a 50 woman who was fit and healthy

Can there be a delay in postcholecystectomy problems?
I had my surgery in October 2017 when I had a gangrenous gallbladder. It was open chest surgery and I had a stent put in my bile duct. I have been experiencing some pain by my scar site in the upper right abdomen and the abdomen feels swollen. I wonder if it can be connected

Heart failure
I had a heart attack three weeks ago and had a stent fitted. I have been referred to the heart failure team which I find terrifying terrifying. Does this mean what it says that my heart is failing?

Clopidogrel
I have had a 10mm stent put in to cover 2 x 90% blockage in same artery. I have been prescribed clopidogrel. I am feeling so tired and pains everywhere since starting them 5 weeks ago. Is this normal? Did not have any symptoms before stent and blockages only discovered during health check.
