Post angioplasty 'angina attack' - confused.
3 weeks after a stent was inserted and all other arteries were stated as 'pristine' , I have had difficulty getting back to full physical activity. Yesterday I was 5 minutes into a short walk when I suddenly felt all energy go and had to stop... there was no pain, very minor breathlessness (if at all

Fatigue and meds
Hi all, I had a heart attack in 2020, given balloon angioplasty and a stent, since then been on a morning dose of bisoprolol 1.25mg.

Balloon but no stent
So a question: A friend has just had an HA with primary PCI (so suffered a STEMI i guess) but has just had balloon angioplasty without a stent for treatment. Reading up this seems uncommon with 80% of cardiac angioplasty procedures appatently resulting in a stent emplacement. I ended up with 6 stents

Anyway, around a month ago after suffering chest pains when exercising, I was told I had exertional angina, was given the wee spray, which helped However, a few weeks later, I was starting to have chest pains when doing nothing strenuous

How long for stents to settle?
Hi, Firstly, sorry for the long post! I am 49 and earlier this year I was suffering with bad heart burn (have a history of gastric issues), which the GPs tried treating with various prazoles ending up with me on Pantoprazole. After talking to one of the GPs (never got to speak to the same one twice!

Ladies problems (comes with a warning of fairly graphic detail lol)
Hi all, Had my angiogram and stent fitted in my LAD (was 90% blocked) and started on daily aspirin, statin as well as an anti-platelet drug for twelve months. Since, when I’m having a period, I’m losing so much, the blood loss is constantly flooding my sanitary products, my underwear, through my clothing

Shortness of breath on Ramipril
Hi Has anyone suffered from shortness of breath from Ramipril? I have been taking them since my HA in Oct 2020 and stent fitting.

Raised Bilirubin level
Dear Hearties, I had a heart attack 3 years ago. I was fitted with a stent and I am taking a cocktail of medicines after that. They are Atrostatin 80mg, Losartan and Bisoprolol. I have been told by GP that my bilirubin is high. Is this could side effect of the above drugs? I also use Paracetamol 2 tablets

Trying to cope after HA
Hi all - new here Had a HA last week (at a young age of 37!) here with 2 stents and a balloon angioplasty on my LAD. Apparently due to my age and lack of apparent risk factors, ,my case was pretty unusual and discussed within the cardio team. Having never been in hospital as an adult (nor even blue-lighted

Update
HI my friends! I have now seen my MPN specialist twice. I was back to see him in Nashville on November 29. My diagnosis has changed from ET to PV which is what I kept thinking (since April)! My HCT was at 47.5, so I had my first phlebotomy of 500MLs. Yahoo! I had been begging my previous Dr to do this

metal vs plastic ureteral stents

Scared again
I was diagnosed with CHD in 2017 and had one stent put in LAD. I had been experiencing very mild exertion chest pain. Since then I have had not pain, that is until very recently. On walking uphill, I get very mild pain which I have only just had the courage to confirm as angina by using my GTN, which
