Getting back to work . HGV medical requirements.
Hi , after suffering angina and meds not working I finally had a stent fitted in my Ramus artery. It was right on the junction so it was a tricky procedure, it's was attempted with just balloon and then a cutting balloon and my artery collapsed 3 times when the wire was pulled . Finally a stent was

how do you prepare for bypass!
Hi Just after a little bit of advice on how I can prepare myself for a bypass surgery, I only found out before Xmas after an angiogram they couldn’t fit stent because of where the blockage is in the left internal mammary artery. So I’ve been referred but now my mind is going into overdrive thinking

Nicorandil reaction
Recently went to hospital for chest pain, all test ok on paper, never had a bad ecg even with heart attacks. They put me on Nicorandil 10mg twice a day. I had been on it before, cardiologist took me off it 20mg twice a day after last stent in Feb. This time I had massive headaches, for 2 days, nothing

Liver Stent/Tips
Hi, I had a tips in May 2022, within 6 weeks it failed and I had urgent surgery to correct it in July 2022. I've been told my new TIPS is very big. Since then I have felt absolutely amazing. However, past week I've had a build up of ascities - not huge but enough to see my weight increase by 7lbs. I

encouraging someone to be active and enjoy live
hello, after a little advice as to how to help encourage my mum to be more active and to get out there and enjoy things. She can be quite sensitive so I have to tread carefully not to upset her but I’m feeling so frustrated with her. I under stand I’m not in her shoes and don’t know how it feels so thought

Blockage near junction
I had may angiogram today. One significant blockage was detected. The consultant said that the blockage is near the junction of two arteries and therefore he is not allowed to immediately fit a stent until he consults with the medical committee. He did not explain [i]

More angina when walking
Hi all, I've started to get angina again when I walk and I'm worried my artery is blocking again. Just as a quick background had stent Oct 2021 for 99% blockage LAD artery. My symptoms were pain on walking. Pains never went away and in fact got much worse. November 21 had another stent for 99% blockage

Not sure and nervous about using GTN spray
I had my heart attack on 26th and stent fitted. Surprisingly feel absolutely fine , but occasionally get a ‘gentle’ discomfort in the middle of my chest which doesn’t immediately go and am not sure whether to use GTN or not. Any advice on who it is best to ask regarding this as it’s a bank holiday ?

Home from hospital after heart attack
Short version of my story is that on Xmas evening I had a heart attack. I had to be resuscitated twice. In the ambulance and again at the hospital while they were inserting the stent. During various echo and ct scans they found a couple of abnormalities unrelated to what happened. Issues with the valves

Hi, I had a heart attack 28 months ago and 3 stents in my LAD. Very surprising but not totally unexpected as despite having no risk factors bar genetics , loads of my family had heart attacks so I always thought I’d get one eventually, though not at age 66. I’m doing ok but struggle emotionally to feel
