Sudden single sharp breath intake
I have recently developed a new symptom 1 1/2 year after an aortic valve replacement and a stent. I am having random sharp intake of a single breath several times a day. I otherwise feel totally normal and my breathing is fine. Any ideas what might cause this?

leg pain
had stent fitted nearly 3 weeks ago , I’m sometimes getting woken at night with ache in my left leg . Wonder if it’s vascular issue with leg getting enough oxygen , or could it be my Statin . Just been switched from pravastatin to rosuvastatin

High Calcium score

Results came back that I had severe blockages in 3 arteries and a Calcium score of 525 which put me in the highest percentile for a 69 year old woman. I had my angiogram and angioplasty in Sepember.

Shoulder / neck
Hi, I had a stent fitted to my 99% blocked LAD in December 2023. The issue first came to light with left shoulder pain and discomfort, which I'm still experiencing. I'm booked in to see my GP on Friday morning and they're doing an ECG, which showed no abnormalities prior to my stent. Any advice please

Raynauds
Dr diagnosed me in 1994 with Raynauds said it’s usually a prelude to later disease like, arthritis or scleroderma I have both now. Along with numerous other diseases. Had open heart surgery in 2005. Stent put in aorta in 2010. And pretty sure my next visit to vascular surgeon in March for my PAD in legs

Stopping clopidogrel safely—abruptly or gradual cessation?
I’ve been on clopidogrel (Plavix) for one year after a drug eluting stent was placed in my significantly blocked LAD (aka widow maker artery) 2/23. I’m wondering if the following is true or not, and what your experience has been with stopping clopidogrel safely—abruptly or gradual cessation? Because

after a stent…
This is for information only for those who may have a stent fitted recently or about to. It’s about side effects that can happen and why. I had a stent fitted to open up my LAD just before Christmas this year after being on a medical regime for 11 months. The procedure took about an hour rather

immune system
Hi guys Hope you are all having a good day. I'm 9 months post stent. Still haven't completely sorted my head out, but im getting there. Just thinking as i'm sitting here with man flu, is there any data that suggests that the post heart attack medication can affect our immune systems.
