Last few months running has become impossible without chest pains and becoming breathless.
For some reason my fitness has took a nosedive over the last 2 months. I had a double stent fitted in Feb last year. I was back running and boot camping after 6 weeks. Training up to 10k again not as fast, around the hour mark as I didn't want to push it. I had been at the 48 min mark before the stents

Dad won't accept he has hypoxic brain injury after cardiac arrest
Hi, Me and my family are really struggling as my dad just won't accept that he has a brain injury although it is visibly obvious to us. We are also finding it really difficult as he does not want to adhere to a newer set of health rules such as not smoking, drinking or eating healthier in order to recover

One kidney has low function
Diagnosed with hydronephrosis with upj obstruction (congenital), I am in my 50's . Nuclear scan showed 100% function on left 0% on right. Had stent put in to see if there would be any kidney function. New scan showed 20 % function in right. Do doctors repair kidneys with 20% function?

Tingling after stent put in
Hi, I had a stent fitted 2 days ago and since last night I have had discomfort in my left shoulder and a sort of numb slightly tingly feeling in my arms and across my shoulders. Could this be to do with all the meds I am taking, or just the trauma and my body adjusting. I’ve got no chest discomfort but

Why am I still classed ss having heart desease?
I had one stent fitted 23 years ago. Since then I have climbed some of the most difficult mountains in the UK. I've completed 6 half marathons. Go on walking holidays twice each year. I continued going to the gym twice a week until I was 70 (I'm now 75). The only reason I stopped going to the gym was

The main underlying health condition in men under 65 dying from coronavirus is ischmaetic heart disease.
I have just read an analysis published in the Daily Mail online about underlying health conditions and mortality in covid 19 patients in the UK. For men under 65 the main condition was ischmaetic heart disease. Just wondered if anyone aged under 65 and male and had a bypass or stent had received a shielding

Feeling abandoned
I had a heart attack on 20th march just as the covid 19 epidemic blew up. I was in hospital for 5 days but didn't need a stent. I was discharged as having an nstemi and sent home with a big bag of pills and a wave. Now I know everything was in a state of flux and noone really knew what was happening

New here, advice needed...
My 53 year husband had a heart attack in November and had 2 stents fitted. An admin omission led to no referral for any follow up or rehab care. His referrals have also been "lost" twice since then so as a result he is still waiting for a further stent to be fitted. We were relieved to have a date later
