Weak, breathy voice
Hi, I've posted on here before, my husband had an NSTEMI in June last year and a stent fitted. Since then his recovery hasn't improved and we still haven't got a diagnosis. He is unfit to return to work and he has these episodes which are increasing in number each week. He feels an uncomfortable pain

Live for every day
Well today is my 1st anniversary of that very unwanted and unexpected heart attack, and every day I thank my lucky stars that I’m still here. Thankful for a 2nd chance.

Has anyone had to give up work because of their heart issues?
Hi all, I have chronic angina and had a stent fitted 6 months ago. I have a very stressful job that gives me palpitations and chest pains. I'm thinking of stopping working but not sure about benefits ( I'm 52 and never been out of work) I know PIP is nigh on impossible to claim but I really can't carry

How often are meds reviewed by GP or Cardiologist.
I have been on the same medication since Feb 2020, never the doses or my case reviewed with the exception of an appointment with a Cardiologist in July 2020. Dealing with my GP surgery and getting any response from them is hard work, however and before contacting them I wanted to check with others how

Hello
My twin brother had a heart attack at the weekend, he had 2 stent procedures and is now home. It has scared him and everyone in the family. From being 'fit', to feeling fragile and stunned, little overwhelmed by recovery ahead, looking to see if this community can provide some support, advice etc..

Finally had a face to face with my cardiologist
Yesterday after a long frustrating wait, I finally got a face to face meeting with my cardiologist I also took my wife to try and get through to the cardiologist how bad my issues are and how much it is affecting my day to day life. Got to say it was hard work due to her being so dismissive of things

NI Chest Heart and Stroke 5k
So,signed up yesterday for a 5k walk at Stormont at end of February . After my heart attack in April last year it amazed me how dr's can go through your wrist and insert a little metal stent into an artery to keep you alive!! Also my son has a bicuspid aortic valve which will probably need replaced

Help
I have recently been diagnosed with angina. I have artery disease ( 50-65% stenosis on LAD but my cardiologist says I don`t need a stent as my symptoms are being managed with various drugs including nitrates and statins. Is that a situation that other angina sufferers find themselves in?

I was treated as an ACS 10 weeks ago, and had a stent inserted as a result of ' moderate /severe mid - LAD lesion'. Everything else was normal and no damage to the heart muscle. I was also diagnosed as 'possible late presentation of takotsubo cardiomyopathy '.I have been recovering quite well with less
