what exactly does a stent involve?
Consultant has just copied me into letter to GP which seems to suggest that the choice is mine, to have or not, and I’m not clear what this would involve! 😬 Any advice, please?

I'm writing to add a soft warning to be mindful. I was diagnosed with GCA in 2019 and finally got down to single digits this summer, I'm taking 5 mg per day plus Actemra. I'm only dropping .5 mg every six weeks. It has been fairly smooth except the fatigue, I did nothing and was [i]so, so tired![/

Exercise
I need some information about safe and effective types of exercise for people with a history of heart attack and atrial fibrillation. My heart attack was six years ago and was treated with one stent. I have had two emergency admissions with fast AF; the first was one year after the heart attack and induced

Just getting worse.
Hello everyone.I had a heart attack in August and had a stent fitted. This was all fine and I was discharged after a couple of days and was a happy man, feeling lucky and ready to get back to some sort of normality. However after a few weeks I had a setback when some nasty chest pains had me visiting

Beauty - laser treatments
Hi, Following my HA and stent in May 21 I have lost 2 stone, with a few more pounds to go! My son gets married next year and purely for vanity I am considering some laser facials which are supposed to plump up the skin and reduce fine lines, which are more prominent since the weight loss. Now I am

Come out feeling worse than when I went in!
Well following 8 months of worrying about having a heart attack, it’s happened. Admitted to hospital for a week, had angiogram which was the most horrendous experience but no need for stent as the culprit artery is too small to stent so prescribed a lot of medication. This was my second angiogram this

When I spoke to gp (doctor) they changed it losartan

Rotoblator treatment for unblocking lad artery
After an out of the blue heart attack 5 months ago and a stent being fitted I am now due back in hospital to have my heavily calcified LAD artery drilled out by a rotablator procedure and then having a stent fitted. This is all new to me - anybody had this treatment done who could fill me in on what

Worried
3 months after acute heart attack and stent I'm still short of breath if I do any walking. Is this normal? I quit smoking after 45 years.

Diagonal branch
Hi, I had a HA last November resulting in 4 stents fitted , while having this done consultants tried putting in a 5th stent in my Diagonal Branch. They Had no luck after several attempts and decided to leave that one. Nearly a year has gone past and I still have sharp pains and dull aches on the left

Taking part in Watchman trial to establish if it’s safe to come off anti-coagulants like Apixaban
Good afternoon everyone. On Thursday I am scheduled to go for a procedure to have a Watchman device fitted inside my heart at John Radcliffe Hospital here in Oxford under supervision of the Cardiac Research Team. I volunteered to do this as part of a world wide trial covering 3000 patients to assess

Just started Isosorbide Mononitrate
Hi My husband is 67 and had two stents 17 years ago . He has been fine up until now but due to some breathing issues has been checked out and one stent has started to block and there is stenosis before and after the stent in the LAD and a large branch before the stent showing tight proximal disease.

Post stent operation recovery
HI everyone. I had 1 stent fitted on 01/09/2022. I am really struggling, both physically and mentally since the operation. Doctor prescribed me statins and prasugel. I am now struggling with extreme fatigue, so I am turning to you for advice. Before I was diagnosed with 1 blocked artery

rhubidium scan result and angiogram/stents next week
I have more than 10% ischaemia in the lateral wall (circumflex territory) and epicardial calcification on CT for cancer surveillance. How mild or serious is this? I am having an angiogram next week with stent if possible but there is a chance I will need a CABG instead. Any similar experiences?

orbita trial
it's been a few stressful weeks, my mum unfortunately passed away just over two weeks from having the operation to mend her broken hip. She was 104 and I think at the end she just gave up, did get pneumonia. Had a few not very bad angina attacks which I think we're stress related as not had any
