Oeosophageal stent at GOJ -serious pain and inability to eat
Hi everyone After having battled my tumour back with 6 rounds of FLOT last year it unfortunately came back with a bit of a vengeance with some peritoneal metastases which have caused fecal impaction and bilateral effusions. Delays in getting theses symptoms treated resulted in me losing even more weight

Does being called for a flu jab every year (aged 62) make me an "at greater risk" person?
Hi. Can someone please help. It concerns the "Underlying health conditions"thing. Every year my GP summons me for a flu jab. I am 62 years old and had CBGs, a Stent, an Aortic valve repair and repairs to my rising Aorta following an Aortic Dissection. My question is am I a person with an underlying

Not sure
I had a heart attack 2 years ago and 1 stent. No other issues since. I have 3 children that r in school. I work as a deputy manager for a domicillary care company and regularly visit my service users. We have no confirmed cases of Corona virus yet but should I be worried? The general attitude is we must

Allotment escape
Hi, I had a stent put in last year, I've had pneumonia in the past, but I got an allotment, do I have to self isolate for 3 months do you think? cos I'll have to get all my spuds planted in a couple of days, the only obstacle to going to the allotment is the gate, I'm not anywhere near other people,

Should I self isolate?
I have seropositive RA, Bronchiectasis and heart disease. My lungs are already inflamed most of the time and sats are 93 at best. I live alone, but there is a connecting door to my daughter, son in law and grandson(21) They all work and so are out and about. Also, in the Mall where they work a colleague

Anyone had LAD stents?
My husband has a long lesion in his proximal LAD and possibly a small lesion in his RCA and is on a waiting list for a stent or two, he’s type 1 diabetic and I’m worried about how effective stents are long term, and the impact on our future of his heart disease. Can anyone help reassure me as I feel

Weight reduction with angina
Im a 65 year old female and had a RCA stent fitted in 2013. I can walk on the flat over a fair distance but uphill is another story mostly resulting in an angina attack. I rarely use my spray as it gives me an headache and I can manage with just resting. I admit I don’t walk everyday? I’m 2 weeks into

Complete Coronavirus Confusion!!!
Hi everybody I have a stent and I have a small bronchiastisis with Asthma plus inflammatory arthritis. I am a 54 year old teacher and was looking forward to being told that school would be shutting and therefore being more confident of avoiding coronavirus. I believe that I have a poor immune system

First time post
Hi Everyone, I have had Angina for fourteen years and until last June I hardly ever used my spray as I had a slow release pill, Elantan 25. Then in June started having a dead arm shoulder at night sometimes. Saw three different GP's and was ignored until 2nd January after particularly bad night and

Monomil
Evening everyone First time today I had to use my GTN spray, a trip to GP was needed and he has increased my monomil xl to 2 tablets a day - has anyone else found this to help their angina symptoms? I think I was in denial that I have angina and that after my stent I would be back to normal- how silly

Hitting a brick wall.
Hi all, I am nearly 6 weeks post MI and stent fitting. Up to now I have been relatively ok, increased my activity by walking around an hour every day and now introducing cycling for 40 mins as and when the weather will allow. Today however I woke feeling tired, no energy and very emotional. Apart from

Coronary Heart Spasms/Micro Vascular Angina
Coronary Heart Spasm/ Micro-Vascular Angina Is anybody else suffering from this debilitating condition? I have it on a daily basis and since recording the episodes from 11th February, I have had over 50 spasms. I'm due to have a 6th stent, but nobody's hurrying to do it. I feel unsupported and frightened
