Hello, new to the forum
Hi everyone, new member here. I've been reading a lot of posts on the forums, and it's good to know I'm not the only one having problems with medication after a heart attack and stent fitted. I've been prescribed aspirin, clopidogrel, beta blockers, blood pressure tablets and statins, and to be honest

Worried for my father
My father aged 58 had a widow maker heart attack in September 2020 and had initially ignored symptoms leading to delayed angioplasty by 4 days, where two stents were placed. One more stent was placed in the RCA in December 2020 after the blockage increased from 80 percent to 99 percent in just three

Is it normal to have an attack a day after having a Stent?
I had a stent fitted Tuesday and was discharged after having a heart attack on the previous Friday. I presented with jaw pain. Since my stent I have had 1 attack a day so far again with jaw pain. I have used GTN spray and it event2took the pain away. But is this usual to happen so frequently?

How much damage can we expect
My mum had a heart attack and had two stents put in in 2006. Also with angina over a week ago she started to become breathless until 7 days later she could not talk. A GP rang an ambulance immediately. Her legs are now filled with fluid and docs have said there is significant damage to the artery walls

Life Insurance
I am 40 years old and have a stent, which was fitted in 2015. I am now fit, healthy and had no issues since . Due to having a mortgage I have always had life insurance, unfortunately I have always done it for 10 year terms. My current insurance is coming to an end so looking to renew. A simple comparison
