received text from my bp surgery to say my omeprazole has been stopped and I’ve been switched to lanzoprazole instead ? No idea why ? Maybe cost . Has this happened to anyone else ? Plus I’m now 5 weeks post stent and haven’t received cardiology follow up . Should I get this or is that it ? You just

Hi Guys,It's 6 months post LAD stent and I thought I would log my progress. My life is pretty much back to normal, work full time and busy as ever Fitness wise, running, cycling and walking but still not really pushing myself to the limit as I used to when racing as I thought I would give it a year

Should I stop aspirin before non cardiac surgery.
I am a 62 year old male and suffered a heart attack in Feb 2020. I subsequently had one stent fitted. I have been on low dose aspirin and other meds since then. I have not needed any further treatment and was told by the cardiac doctor that he wouldn't need to see me for another 5 years. I am due to

Severe Proximal RCA Disease and Moderate LAD Disease - NO FURTHER ACTION!
Hi - I had a call from the cardiologist this afternoon, after a team consultation they have decided they will not be performing an angiogram and hence I will not be receiving any stents. They have said a stent would not decrease my chances of having a heart attack, and therefore it's not worth the risk

poo activity post HA
I had a HA and stent operation 3 weeks ago today and my bowel movements have yet to return to any sort of normality. Embarrassing to share, but I have loose stools that are not painful but nearly every morning after taking lansoprazole or say 20 mins after my breakfast. Anyone remember if this

Pain relief medication
Hi there, I had a stent fitted in LAD in 2021. Have a mild to moderate aortic leaky valve. I also have two slipped discs in lower back. For the most part, I have no pain or restricted movement. Every now and again, I’m in excruciating pain with my back for a few days, then all goes back to normal

Popliteal Artery Stenting - success or nightmare?
Hi, I have developed intermittent claudication in my right Popliteal Artery just behind my right knee - pretty much where the knee bends and can only walk short distances before pain kicks in. I am 68 years old, just retired and am an ex-mild smoker. Has anyone had a Stent placed in this particular

Massage for Relaxation
Just wondering if others have been in my position. I had an NSTEMI in late December and had a stent fitted. Before then I would have a regular massage as a monthly treat.I asked the Cardiac Nurse today if I could start them up again and she said that the relaxation benefits probably outway any potential

Tired!
Hi everyone, I had an ST STEMI three and a half weeks ago. Stent fitted. I have the usual medication for an MI, however, I am so tired, all the time. Is this normal? Is it the medication do you think?

Severe Proximal RCA Disease and Moderate LAD Disease - Updated
Good morning, I had a follow-up appointment this morning with the cardiologist, I'll need to wait for the consultation letter for the details, this is what I know. I have coronary heart disease, and it's worse in my right than the left, apparently that's good. They don't know what to do with me as I

Has this happened to anyone else?
Good Morning, Yesterday I got up from the chair and took a few steps and suddenly I started to shake but it was more like I was being rattled or severe shivering without being cold It only lasted a few seconds but it did quite scare me. I had a HA in April last year and had a stent then another episode

clopidril
I have been on Clopidril since having 4 stents in 2015 then a by pass in my leg. I then had another stent fitted in 2022. Further investigations found narrowing of the arteries in my other leg. I believe the clopidril is causing the hot sweats I have been having for years. I am wondering whether I have

still getting angina
in Sept, 2023 I had a pacemaker fitted. Angiogram showed I had the start of plaque in 2 arteries, but not enough for a stent. cardiologist said that I am fine, but I am still struggling with my breathing, especially uphill. Last week I walked for an hour up a downhill and it took me 24 hours to recover

Long term Effects of radiation
I had salvage radiation in 2014 after failed RP surgery in 2013 at age 69 for Gleason 9 PCa. I’ve also had radiation of pelvic lymph nodes in 2015 , right femur in 2017, and a rib and clavicle in 2018. A few years ago incontinence developed. I tried clamp, sling and AUS. The latter caused sepsis
