LAD
Last year I had 100% obstruction of the lateral anterior descending coronary artery. Nurses pointed out it's known as the widow maker. Treatment was endoscopy to flush the obstruction then placing a stent to keep the vessel open. What led to this was my barfing during the midday run. I'd barf

Do I still have angina?
I was diagnosed with angina about 7 years ago and after quite a few lifestyle changes I had it under control....I haven't needed to use my spray for years. Three months ago I had a heart attack and had two stents fitted to my LAD, apart from a couple of minor issues with dizziness if I stand up too quickly

Steroids and Heart Heajth
I’m 4 weeks post heart attack and stent placement. This took place whilst tapering Prednisolone after being wrongly diagnostic with Polymyalgia. I’m currently experiencing extreme tiredness and weakness and breathlessness, I’m wondering now if part of this weakness could be down to tbe steroid taper

Getting my head around my diagnosis
Supposedly a fit and healthy 40 year old Male who started getting chest pain during exercise about a year ago. Diagnosed with atherosclerosis about a month ago and fitted with a stent 2 weeks ago. It's been a rollercoaster. Scary and unexpected but coming to terms with it slowly now. Stopped smoking,

New heart problem
Advice needed on angiogram I have a 98% blocked and calcified left coronary artery. Lad is 97% blocked and 4 more vessels on left side77% blocked. Too dangerous to stent or cabg. Given medication. I feel like a time bomb. Does anyone have the same problem

Problems after MIGS surgery
Hello I had a stent inserted in my eye in early April to reduce the pressures. Unfortunately I am now being told that the eye has healed too quickly and there is no flow from the stent so I need to go in again for repeat surgery. Has anyone been through a similar experience? Rgds
