I have been doing the BHF cardio rehab workouts everyday and I’m on level 5 with extra weights as it felt too easy. I have also just reached a personal milestone of running a complete

Live alone; what help will I need at home after a CABG?
I'm due to have a bypass in the next month for 1, possibly 2 or 3, coronary arteries following repeat in-stent restenosis after 2 angioplasty procedures. My question relates to the extent that I'll need any assistance at home after leaving hospital given that I live alone. I'm sure I can arrange for

Done Angiogram, now advised to do triple bypass!!! My world is crashed. I'm trembling with fears!
I muster enough courage for an angiogram. Thanks for all the encouragements from this forum. It surely helps! I was Hoping that a stent or balloon can do! But I was now smacked with Triple Bypass!!! I'm so afraid of needles, pain and had white coat syndrome. My bp shot to 200/100 while in hospital.

Coming off Clopidogrel
Coming off clopidogrel. Hi I’ve just come off clopidogrel just over a week ago, I had HA with stent fitted in the LAD 12 months ago, been back into hospital twice in Feb as I started getting pain in chest, first time they thought it may be unstable angina, and put it down to HA last year, second time

Rehabilitation & Meds questions.
Three months ago and whilst on holiday abroad I had a heart attack and subsequently a stent fitted. Having contacted my GP surgery recently, the doctor mentioned if such operation took place in the UK, I would have been referred to a rehabilitation programme. 1. Though am fine I believe it would benefit

Shielding
Hi, I took a heart attack 2018 and had a stent fitted, I haven’t had a letter to say I’m in the shielding group, so is that a good sign?

Pain in stent area
To anyone who understands stents-:) I have had a stent placed since 16 months ago and started instroducing bicep and tricep curls using 2kg dumb bells. Could this cause mild pain/discomfort in the stent area. It doesn’t affect my breathing but I just thought to ask this group if it is normal to feel

Underwear
Heart attack and stent fitted 2 days ago. First symptom was tightness in the chest - I thought my bra was too tight. Earlier today I had a major panic attack - it seems I’m frightened of my underwear. I know it’s a ‘Pavlov’s Dog’ thing but anyone else experienced this? Any benefit changing from wired

Hi - I’m WFH and really limiting my time outside- truly only essential food shopping and mainly exercise done in the house or garden. Might walk couple of times a week outside in a very quiet area.
