Mini Stroke?
Hi Strange thing happened Friday. Nearly 1 year post Stemi heart attack and stent, 7 months post GI bleed, had strange moment. Wife was talking about her sisters whom I have known for over 30 years.

HA, stents & pericarditis
Hi - I am new to the forum, I had a HA 5 weeks ago out of the blue (42, fit, moderately healthy lifestyle, non smoker and no family history). I had 4 stents fitted in a lower marginal artery... pardon my ignorance on the terminology, in simple terms and from the images I was shown I had a blockage

Blood sugar all over the place
It's been 20days after my 5x bypass. My blood sugar level was not well controlled at all. I'm on metformin 500g x twice daily. BMI 21, I am a type 2 Does cabg affect blood sugar? I'm on iron pills and its making me constipated too. Does anyone have the same experience? I'm also watchful of my food.

Sharp stabbing pains after HA
Hi everyone It’s been nearly 4 weeks since my HA and stent in RCA. I seem to be recovering ok (apart from the anxiety we all go through) but I am getting occasional sharp pains (lasts a second) in my chest particularly if I am exercising. No other symptoms. Does anyone else experience the same?? Any

What do you think?
Few weeks ago, and whilst on holiday in the Red Sea, I had a heart attack and subsequently a stent fitted. Though am grateful to the doctors in hospital where I had the operation, upon my return home I felt the need to see a specialist here in the UK to discuss the medications I was given and the “

Aftercare from hospital after CABG (or lack of!)
My fiancé had x3 bypass in late January 2020. He had AFib and a heart flutter after surgery and had to spend additional time in icu. He has missed out on all aspects of aftercare - no cardiac rehab and 1 telephone consultation with his original cardiac consultant (not the team that completed his surgery

B12 and Vitamin D3 supplements
I have a low Vitamin D count (38 I think) and I also have a B12 deficiency. I use to get a regular B12 injection every 3 months (coming up next week) but have been worrying about whether it can interfere with my drugs and current condition. B12 especially I need as I collapsed in the past due to symptoms

Post stent exercise
Age 66, been going to gym for 9 months, walking, boxercise, never felt better, eating well etc. ......then suffered mild heart attack, had 1 stent fitted, now taking usual post stent meds. Obviously going to listen to Cardiac Rehab team, but can’t help wondering how it’s going to affect future fitness

Breathless after ICD/pacemaker

Left Arm soreness after a stent
Hi everyone I had a heart attack nearly 3 weeks ago (a huge surprise) had a stent in my RCA, which clogged within 12 hours and they re-stented. I keep getting a soreness in my left arm and feeling nauseous with stomach ache. No chest pain. Is this normal? Drugs? Anxiety? Thanks
