Scared
I had a severe heart attack on Sunday 24thbkine 2024, I’m 33. This has stemmed from an undiagnosed hereditary condition. I have had a stent fitted less than 24 hours ago. I was discharged from hospital today. I feel like I’m grieving and I don’t know why. I’m crying so much on my own, I have a supportive

Ear noise
Hi,almost 4 months after my heart attack and stent fitting I've still got the rather annoying noise or'whooshing' sound in my left ear.Any other experiences on this,does it ever go away? Or lessen...can't hear it during the day as background noise drowns this out,but night time is frustrating...thanks

Angiogram
Good morning everyone firstpost. I have just had an angiogram I now have two narrowed arteries pressure wire test ok, the consultant was rushing between cath labs and said I have reversible ischemia?? Not sure what that means. I would have had a stent if pressure wire test failed. Any insights are welcome

coq10 use for statin muscle pain
Hi , wondering if anyone has experience with taking CoQ10 with a statin as well as blood thinner, specifically Plavix? Prior to having a stent placed in April, I was on a statin only and have read that you should take CoQ10. My cardiologist said take it or don’t take it it doesn’t really matter. It’s

10 weeks in, not feeling great
I am a 57 year old woman, and had an Nstemi 10 weeks ago, and one stent fitted. I am on 2.5 bisoprolol, tricagrelor, 10 of ramipril, 80 statins and also aspirin. My ejection fraction was poor at 45 (which I found a bit upsetting when it transpired I was the lowest in the rehab class) I was on HRT before

Short of breath.
Hi all, haven't posted for a long time but read posts most days. Had a HA and 1 stent fitted 3 years ago and on the usual tablets no problem. In the last 2 weeks when I am about to nod off I feel as if I'm going to stop breathing and wake up and it's very scary,and try to sleep with more pillows sitting

Cocodamol
Hi there,I had a heart attack (congested arteries) and a stent fitted last year. On the usual cocktail of meds. My back has started playing up and at night I find that if I take two OTC cocodamol it can help me sleep. Is this permitted? I know I can't take NSAIDs but not sure about cocodamol. Paracetamol

sleeping position after mid LAD stent
This is probably a silly question, but should we be sleeping on our backs only after having a stent in our LAD? I prefer sleeping on my sides but read somewhere that side sleeping puts pressures on the heart and is not recommended.

Next Steps
So in chatting with my GP he advised that the next step is for the cardio rehab nurse to discharge me to him. He said then they will see me in 12 months. Is this the norm after having STEMI and stent 7 weeks ago?
