Happy anniversary
Well just thought I’d drop by and say happy 2nd anniversary to me. STEMI with sudden cardiac arrest x2 and luckily only 1 stent, called Bruce, fitted on 27 June 2020. Since my blip I’ve started hiking, completed the great Birmingham 10k, travelled to places I’ve always wanted to go, and generally living

A couple of personal anniversarys one biggish and one huge.
Twelve months ago I was moved from Shrewsbury cardiac ward to Wolverhampton so that I could be given a angiogram, so I smoked my last cigarette exactly 365 days ago to the minute, I stubbed it out and got into the ambulance at 09.00, and I was not allowed outside of new cross for another eight days.

Angiogram recovery
Hi I am going to have my second angiogram. If I have a stent how long will it take to recover from? I am really nervous.

Lump on my arm after angioplasty and stent insertion
Hi, I had a HA a year ago and underwent angioplasty where they put 4 stents in. After the op as they were relaxing the clamp on my wrist, I had a large loss of blood under the skin, they put pressure on the bulging area and all was fine. A few weeks later I spotted a small lump at the site of the blood

ADT options for BCR oligometastesis
Recent Auxmin and PSMA scans show that my husband has BCR oligometastesis (MRI shows nothing). It seems there are two different treatment options/opinions: 1. Lupron OR Eligard OR Firmagon OR Orgovyx for a few months and then radiation, then continue hormone therapy for 1-1.5 years 2. Lupron OR Eligard

Low blood pressure
Hi all, 1 year on from my stent and all going well, however for the past week, I've been getting dizzy spells. I went to my gp who diagnosed low BP and told me to keep hydrated and rest, which I have done but still getting the dizzyness. It feels like a very mild electric shock in my head sometimes

Slight swelling and pain in right hand one week post angiogram procedure. Should I be worried?
My procedure went well and I didn’t require a stent which is good news. I’m only needing to take statins. However 5 days post procedure I noticed the swelling on my forearm just above wrist ( opposite side of wrist to the wound site which is healing well). I did rest it post procedure followed all guidance

Monomil after stent?
Hi all, I had a stent fitted yesterday and the pharmacy discharge letter says that my monomil has now been discontinued. Is this normal? Will it do any harm if I continue to take it until I get clarification from the cardiologist? Cheers.

Just got CPAP
Just received a CPAP this week after several months wait. Tried it the first night using a full mask. Stopped using after 1 hour because of sore throat, sore nasal lining. Too dry! Will try to use on a Friday night with higher humidity setting. My history: major LAD heart attack with complications 23

Lipitor
My husband's was prescribed 20mg Lipitor per day following the fitting of a stent. He was informed that whilst his cholesterol was "low" this was required to protect the stent. He has been taking this dose for many years. However, in February he was admitted into hospital suffering from confusion
