Breathless and not being taken seriously (IMHO)
A bit of a rant follows... I’ve been really breathless since my HA amd stent, but thanks to this wonderful forum, I was sure it was all my meds and thought that once they were tweaked it’d all be ok. I’ve told every medic I’ve seen about my breathing, but they only took me seriously when I started

My Heart Attack
Well I had a heart attack and died in my sleep. Fortunately my partner woke up and realised something was not right and started immediate CPR and called an ambulance. I was taken to Portsmouth QA hospital where they found I had a blockage to the heart and fitted a stent. I was kept in Critical Care where

First Post - Doing the Doxydoe
Hi everyone, here is my story, in mid Dec 2019 I was diagnosed stage 4 prostrate cancer having had no previous symptoms. My gleason score came in at 9 and a PSA of 50, quite a shock. It has invaded into my bladder and closed off my left urethra, so only one kidney is now working, having a stent put in

Post stent
Hi I’m new here. Had a heart attack on the 13th of this month. Cardiac care superb and stent fitted on the 20th. Since discharge home have had arm pain and yesterday an angina attack which resolved with GTN spray. Naively I thought that with the artery opening up with the stent that this would solve

Very quick update - NEPC
Had my PET scan and met with the MO today, and the diagnosis is ... neuroendocrine prostate cancer. He claims this is a new cancer that originated in the neuroendocrine cells of my prostate, as opposed to mutations of my original prostate cancer. The good news is now I have a treatment plan and my

Jogging great gran.
I am a female ages 73 with atrial fibrillation. I used to run up to 40 miles a week but 6 years ago I had a cardiac incident while doing a 10k run and since then I am very short of breath. I had an angiogram after that incident and was told that the anterior cardiac artery is 60% blocked but because

Constant pain and fatigue
I'm wondering if anyone can help me I had a heart attack in November 2017 and had 4x stents put in as I was to young for a bypass. I kept having a chest pain for over a year so they decided to do another angiagram in March 2019 where they found a stent had failed and another artery was getting narrow

I am a 61 year old male and I kept myself active with running, sailing, cycling etc. However, I started to become breathless when walking the dog. Net result was that I needed

Extra sleep
Since having my heart attack on new years day this year and having a stent put in and being told I'm fixed I'm well on the road to recovery however I find I'm needing around 9 hours sleep a night, is this normal?

Dangers of b12
I read this on web MD - is it correct? Vitamin B12 is LIKELY SAFE for most people when taken by mouth, applied to the skin, taken through the nose, administered as a shot, or injected into the vein (by IV). Vitamin B12 is considered safe, even in large doses. Mild itching has been reported in one person

Graft repaired
Thanks to everyone for your support and advice. My husband was found to have one failed graft and some calcium build up in his arteries. The surgeon said they were reluctant to insert stents in formerly repaired grafts but he said he'd give it a try. He enlarged the artery with a balloon as much as

Does anyone know...
Do you come off the clopidogrel a year after your heart attack or a year after a stent? As a very very Miss Clumsy it would be nice not to look like I’ve fought 27 wrestling bouts. I know I’m on the aspirin forevefverrer

Hello from a newbie
Hi, I've joined this forum as I had a heart attack on Monday at the ripe young age of 46. I've had a stent put in and apart from finding everything tiring, I am feeling very well. Tonight is my first night home and I'm finding it a little difficult to get to sleep as I'm missing the reassurance of telemetry

aged 76 I suffered a triple heart bypass aged 74. Since I packed up playing rugby in 1983 aged 40 I have suffered chest pains despite playing badminton and tennis to a later age. I learnt long ago that there is a nerve traveling from your anal area to your chest and irritable bowels can cause chest pains
