Recovery
Other half had SAH Aug 2020 followed by stent fitted around 10 days later after aneurysm found. Very little info from Hospital about what to expect and almost everything I’ve found our has been online. Need info about people’s recovery.

It’s been a slow process but she’s doing okay. The one thing I’m worried about is that she looks to be losing all her muscle mass and actually

Blood clot after heart attack
Hi, I have just joined this community after my Husbands heart attack. He had the attack monday 31st and had 2 stents inserted, he was meant to be released from hospital Friday but they are now keeping him in probably until Wednesday. This is because he has a blood clot and he is now on warfarin.

Using an Inhaler with cardio issues
As a few will know I have had Cardio problems since 1997, fixed with quad CABG and later stents fitted. Had several issues with breathlessness and diagnosed with HF. All of these quite well managed these days. Earlier this year just before everything kicked off I had had more breathing issues and had

Ongoing problems after CABG - impossible to get anyone to listen
Just wondering if anyone has any advice...fiancé had 3x CABG in January. He had AFib and heart flutter after op (several occasions of it and was on Amiodrone for 3 months.) An ecg he had in March showed no AFib and he was taken off the amiodrone. For the last few weeks/months he’s had “funny heart moments

One year on
One year since my unexpected HA. One stent fitted and a triple bypass October 2019. Had blood test mid July and all good. But GP put me back on Ramipril and changed statin. After two weeks my energy levels were not good and was feeling run down most of the time. After discussing this with GP I am on

Omron BP continually monitor reporting Atrial Fibrillation but ECG 'normal' anyone else experience this?
I recently invested in a top spec Omron Blood Pressure Monitor (I wanted the App function to track my BP as have been experiencing low BP and was reducing BP meds after 15 years, now been able to stop BP meds, hopefully this as a result of diet, weight and exercise changes not other potential conditions

Cardiologist wanted to keep me in till the stent and said I was too high risk to go home. Had angioplasty
