Gums and bleeding
Hi. I had a heart attack 5 weeks ago. All fixed now, stent fitted and drugs given. However, my mouth suddenly fills with blood at least 4 times a day? My gums are as white as a sheet. Has anyone else had this experience or know why? I have a dental appointment in a few weeks so I'm hoping for some answers

100% blocked artery
Hi My husband had a heart attack 2 weeks ago and was unable to have a stent put in the artery that was blocked. He is having an MRI scan next week and the cardiologist will see him the week after. He mentioned, in a review letter, that they may perform a staged PCI but that this procedure would be of

Waiting Times
I have been told today that I need a stent fitted and I wondered usually how long it will be approx until it is done. My cardiology department are playing catch up at present so I suspect it could be a while!

poisoned by statins
I have now come to the conclusion that instead of getting the correct treatment for my heart problem I have been given a higher dosage of statins that is causing me more harm. I believe that my diagnosis should be treated with a stent or a bypass. I have three siblings , two have had heart attacks and

Are there any Life and Health Insurance providers for people with heart conditions?
Hi everyone 🙏🏽 So I had a heart attack when a little over 10 years ago now. It was not a big one and thankfully the great people at St George's Hospital picked this up and saved me by inserting 1 stent. The question I have is regarding life and health insurance. Can anyone recommend any Insurers

Could it be arteries becoming

Raised alt liver function blood test
Hi has anyone had a raised alt level on liver function blood test? I had a mild HA in October with 1 stent. Have you found it has been to do with the statin? I've never drank or smoked.
