Left arm pain ? Cause
Hiya just after some advise really. I had a stent fitted to my RCA for an 80% blockage found routinely from an ECG in March 2020 and whilst having angiogram they noted a degree of plaque in my left circumflex which is not my dominant artery (my RCA is the dominant one) of around 40-60% so they did a

Heart medication
Good morning all, I had a cardiac arrest in 2017 in A&E waiting room. I was treated successfully and had the blockage cleared but no stent was inserted due to the artery being to narrow for a stent. Almost 4 years on I have now been told I am pre diabetic. I have come across some statements on Google

Wedding Day worries.
Hi all, After my heart attack at Christmas and subsequent stent insertion I am now focussed on my wedding at the start of May. I am starting to get some anxiety about the event and whether it is likely to overstress me to the point of another cardiac event on the day. I know this is irrational as I am

Confidence
Hi, I had a heart attack 6 weeks ago and had a stent fitted. I'm 74 and usually an active, positive woman but my self confidence seems to have taken a knock. Is this normal?

Prognosis and return to work after ‘widow maker’
Hi. I really need some help:advice. I had a massive heart attack out of the blue 5 months ago.

Problem with new oesphageal stent fitted
My husband had an oesophageal stent fitted 3 weeks ago. It has not eased or helped any of his previous symptoms, if anything he is worse. Bad cough, sick every day, nothing stays down, on soup and custard only. Losing weight, lethargic, had an infection and on 7 days of antibiotics which has helped

Scared
Hi, I’m feeling scared at the moment. I had a stent fitted in November after suddenly developing unstable angina in October. Apparently I had a mild heart attack. The angiogram showed Proximal stenosis on Ramus intermediate-stent inserted Moderate mid vessel disease in LAD-negative IFR Diffusely mildly

DVT in Left Iliac Vein
Hello Beautiful Ladies.I was diagnosed with Ovarian Ca 18 months ago. I actually have no ovaries as they and the tubes were removed 10 years ago due to benign cysts. So it turned out to be peritoneal Ca. Same tissue apparently. It has been a rocky road - 6 months of chemo and Avastin last year. The

Nearly time for me to come off my blood thinner. 12 month post MI. One stent. Wondering whether to expect any reactions.Is it a gradual stopping of the medication or will it be stopped straight away.

Off meds but anxious 😟
Hi all. I have been off Azathioprine and prednisolone since April 2019. Whilst I’m glad I’m not on them I feel vulnerable and anxious about relapsing. (I was taken off them due to adverse side effects) At the time my consultant felt that as I was doing well without them there was no need to put me on

Headaches are awful
Hi everyone, firstly can I just say that before my operation I have waited in the wings reading a whole lot of inspirational posts and a bit of reality what to expect. I had an unruptured left middle cerebral aneurysm which was an incidental find from an MRI scan on my shoulder. My aneurysm was treated

Heart attack (Stemi) and unable to stent because of ectatic Coronary artery
Last August I had a STEMI. A heart attack which resulted in the complete blockage of the Right coronary artery. When they looked via the angiogram/angioplasty they found that the artery was ectatic. That means apparently that it is not uniform in cross section , and not smooth in end to end shape. They
