Problem with new oesphageal stent fitted
My husband had an oesophageal stent fitted 3 weeks ago. It has not eased or helped any of his previous symptoms, if anything he is worse. Bad cough, sick every day, nothing stays down, on soup and custard only. Losing weight, lethargic, had an infection and on 7 days of antibiotics which has helped

Scared
Hi, I’m feeling scared at the moment. I had a stent fitted in November after suddenly developing unstable angina in October. Apparently I had a mild heart attack. The angiogram showed Proximal stenosis on Ramus intermediate-stent inserted Moderate mid vessel disease in LAD-negative IFR Diffusely mildly

Recent Heart attack
Had a heart attack 9.45am Wednesday. Called the ambulance. Paramedics did and ECG and took me 50 miles to Wolverhampton New Cross. Assessed and had an angiogram, angioplasty and stent straight away. On a ward having lunch by midday. Home the following day feeling better than I have for ages with a rucksack

DVT in Left Iliac Vein
Hello Beautiful Ladies.I was diagnosed with Ovarian Ca 18 months ago. I actually have no ovaries as they and the tubes were removed 10 years ago due to benign cysts. So it turned out to be peritoneal Ca. Same tissue apparently. It has been a rocky road - 6 months of chemo and Avastin last year. The

Nearly time for me to come off my blood thinner. 12 month post MI. One stent. Wondering whether to expect any reactions.Is it a gradual stopping of the medication or will it be stopped straight away.

Off meds but anxious 😟
Hi all. I have been off Azathioprine and prednisolone since April 2019. Whilst I’m glad I’m not on them I feel vulnerable and anxious about relapsing. (I was taken off them due to adverse side effects) At the time my consultant felt that as I was doing well without them there was no need to put me on

Headaches are awful
Hi everyone, firstly can I just say that before my operation I have waited in the wings reading a whole lot of inspirational posts and a bit of reality what to expect. I had an unruptured left middle cerebral aneurysm which was an incidental find from an MRI scan on my shoulder. My aneurysm was treated

Normal Reactions After Recent Stent
Hi All Two weeks ago I had a stent fitted after a heart attack two days prior, I’m getting myself into a bit of a state over something which I can only describe as pressure / mild discomfort in the middle of my chest Is this normal ???? Or am I causing this with my “am I going to die” scaremongering

Proximal LAD Stenosis
Hi all, Had a CT Angiogram last week and just spoke to the GP about it yesterday. Apparently I have 50 percent soft plaque stenosis in the proximal LAD. Need to go for an angiogram to do more tests and they may fit a stent depending on the amount blood flow through it. Doc was pretty upbeat, said it

Cycle No More – or maybe?
I had my latest angiogram on Friday 5 mar, the result of which was that no additional stents were fitted and that no physical improvement actions were implemented. Although I was aware of the possibility that no improvements would be possible during this process I really was not mentally prepared for

Hi everyone. I think I have read just about every post and response now. Some inspirational stuff on here that has been reassuring to a recent recipient of LAD stent following anterior stemi and additional bystander disease.

Racing heart beat wakened me up
I had my HA 4 months ago, had a LAD stent fitted and thought I was good to go. Horrendous side effects have finally settled but I've recently experienced heart beat of 111 that has wakened me from sleep and remained for two hours (this was the night of my covid vaccine) and also during my now regular

Stent
I had two stents last year and I have spasms. The medication I’m on has worked well until this week I am getting some chest pain. Nothing major but enough to be noticeable. Tonight I took some spray for the first time. Should I be worried?
