What lies ahead?
Good morning everyone My cardiologist rang me yesterday. MRI showed that my heart is working at reduced capacity and there’s scarring on my heart tissue. It’s one of 2 things..... Coronary heart disease or Cardiomyopathy, what my brother died from a year ago aged just 41. He’s swaying towards Cardiomyopathy

Take 2.... keep going
I started this on our first lockdown April 2019. I managed to get to week 5, but I was really struggling with my breathing. I tried so many different things to help, but I really couldn’t breathe while running. I then suffered a heart attack and had to have a stent, so no wonder. I was pushing my body

Possible heart attack
Hi all I had a small heart attack in Oct 2015, had one stent then and another in January and then another in July of 2016. I haven’t felt right all the way through, continual chest pains at rest and walking and breathlessness. Nobody can seem to get to the bottom of things. I’ve had 5-6 angiograms, stress

CT with calcium/angiogram
I wonder if anyone else has my concern or can shed any light. I had angina in 2017 followed by a CT with calcium score (my choice as less invasive than angio). The result was bad over 600 and showed RCA "obscured " by calcium. Then had angio and stent put in LAD which was badly blocked. Been ok since

Post CABG recovery
Hello, I hope everyone is well. I have a couple of questions for anyone who has trod the post-cardiac surgery path before me. I had a CABG on the 5th March and I am very happy with my recovery so far; I am walking for exercise and increasing my distance - although I wish it would warm up a bit. I'm

Low Blood Pressure
Anyone any thoughts on this issue. Had Triple Cabg and valve Repair. Collapsed with BP of 84/48. In hospital three days. Now home but BP still quite low. Went dizzy a couple of days ago - BP 92/54. On the discharge letter they referred to “heart failure”. Anyone any experience of this. Thanks in advance

Had stent inserted July then again in December, chest pain has never truly gone away,
Has or is anyone else having this problem, also constantly worried that any pain is another heart attack

Legs with little feeling, anyone?
Just wondering if anyone has a similar issue with their legs. I am 4 and a bit months past surgery of CABG x4 and I still don’t have much feeling around the incisions in my lower legs. The scars are healing fine, but the pressure from swelling in the ankles makes it feel like I am wearing ski boots,

Hello.
Hello I'm a 40 year old father of 2. Noticed I was having episodes of chest pain while cycling back in August. After a Heart CT I underwent an angiogram on 17th Dec with 35mm stent fitted in the LAD. I'm now on all manner of medication and quite frankly feel rubbish. Aching and shivery and generally

Hi Everyone. This is my first post having just discovered the site which is excellent. I was diagnosed mid Nov with CLL following a routine blood test for another heart matter. Total shock as I am a 67 yr old fit man. Regular long distance cyclist who has cycled the length of the outer Hebrides, Lands

I’m new here - How did you recover from a heart attack at 52 years old
I’m 52, exercise regularly and eat an ok diet. I had a heart attack this week whilst cycling. Had a stent fitted and need another one in two weeks. This has really shocked me and I’m pretty frightened of what the future holds. What do I need to do to get back to some normality?
