pre diabetes
Had an NStemi and stent fitted in Oct last year. Obviously a shock and have been following all advice, did cardiac rehab and going on daily walks and gym twice a week. I asked GP surgery for cholesterol blood test to see if it had gone down further and particularly if bad cholesterol had gone down. However

something cheerful
We are all here because of some type of event, me HA and stent fitted. This has so much information p#on this site and it is very supportive but the question most people ask is how long will I live, whilst no one knows . what we should be doing is celebrating every year since our first event. Wouldn't

Another Stent
I had a heart attack for my 60th birthday nearly 4 years ago and had 3 stents. I made a pretty quick recovery and soon was back into a fairly active life. Then three weeks ago I started to get chest pain coming on just randomly, even at rest - nothing as bad as the heart attack pain but still a worry.One

Stopping PPI?
Hello everyone, I'm approaching a year post Nstemi with one stent and thus the end of ticagrelor hourray! What I am wondering is if I am then down to aspirin as the only blood thinner (plus ezetimibe and atorvastatin long term but hopefully not much longer on bisoprolol and ramipril ) do I still need

Changing medication?
Our kiddo has been on Focalin for about four years now and has great success at school. We struggle so much in the mornings (prior to taking meds) , and it has been getting worse. It’s to the point where it’s affecting my other children, and frankly myself and my mental well-being. I’ve been reading

cramps caused by statins?
my husband had a HA in 2018, stent fitted and has been well since albeit on a daily regime of tablets. During that time he has had to switch statins 3 times due to pain and cramps in shoulders. He is now suffering terribly from continuous cramping in his legs. Do you feel it is the statins causing this

Vomiting blood following Drug Infused Balloon
Hi, I had my 3rd Angiogram last Thursday, They couldn't stent as my LAD artery is narrow as well as calcified. A drug infused balloon was used to dilate the artery (marginally), a few few hours later I became very unwell and vomited partially digested blood and fresh blood. I was discharged the next

My fitbit tracker can't get a consistent HR reading while i'm asleep or awake.
Hi all hope everyone is well First of all when it comes to monitoring heart rate etc, I am aware that fitbit tracker is not everyone's cup of tea. Thing is since i bought mine a few years ago it has always been so reliable and dependable....never let me down. I diagnosed with afib, mild mitral stenosis

Moderate Calcification
Good morning all, I was recently invited for a lung check and have been recalled as the scan showed moderate Calcification. As I like to be proactive and believe this is due to fatty diet, are there any recommendations for menus that will halt (improve?) This condition. My brother dies with this condition

Stent to LAD.
I had a stent fitted to an LAD about two weeks ago. This was not because of an heart attack. In November 2022 I was referred to the Chest Pain Clinic at High Wycombe because of chest pains. My bloods were fine, ECG was okay but on having an echocardiogram I was diagnosed with severe Mitral Valve regurgitation

here we go again😬
after 8 long months I finally summoned up the courage to run again. Long story short I had an op beg of last August, not allowed to run for 3 months, enforced sitting around aggravated my GTS, and then after physio for that I developed a painful/ weak ankle on the other side so more physio. Finally

New diagnosis for Ascending Aortic Aneurysm help please
Hi, feeling a little deflated. Had my first annual surveillance CT scan with contrast in relation to the kidney cancer I had. I had a partial nephrectomy last Feb and all is well. No further indication of any spread. Thankfully it was a low grade small tumour but I am still considered high risk.When

Gallbladder
Hi EveryoneIn 2014 my husband had the valve and 3 bypass op, recovered well. December 2019 had a heart attack and subsequent stent. September 2022 started with gallbladder pains but due to his previous ops there was considerable delay getting it removed. Delay that caused so much infection only half

Fighting back to health 💪
So 20 months ago I had a heart attack and stent op. I've always been very active and it was out the blue 💙 signs were there but I didn't realise what was happening. However I've been fighting back to fitness again and now training to walk 22.6 miles in April for the Glasgow kilt walk. I'm going to

Help Needed! Have I got Pernicious Anaemia?
I hope this isn't too long and/or too boring. I suspect I have PA but as with a lot of people here, no-one seems to take B12 deficiency seriously. I also have hypothyroidism so as my symptoms got increasingly worse over the past few years, I blamed my thyroid - the two conditions have many symptoms
