Got another stent in 15 months - why and what should I do next. Anxious?
Hi, I am 61 year old living in San Francisco Bay Area and in Jan 2023, I got 4 stents (2 in LAD, 1 each in LCx and RCA). Had 50-60% blockage in distal RCA and D2 of LAD. Before the stents: LDL-C was in 70s, ApoB and LP(a) were never measured. A1C was 5.6, Blood pressure 130/80. Active - Biking 3

Silly I know... seeking reassurance. Since my NSTEMI (and stent fitting) in December I have eaten ultra healthily and have lost 1.5 stone without even trying. I take 30 minute brisk walks daily and am feeling much much better. My cholesterol has dropped from 4.3 to 1.1. Yesterday I ate two pieces

Update on me/angiogram/contrast
A while back I wrote about how I had a blockage in my legs and would have to have an angiogram/plasty with contrast. My vascular doctor and nephrologist worked together and came up with they would hydrate me 4 hours before the procedure and 2 hours after, also the vascular would only use as much contrast

Inflamed liver
Hi All, I haven't posted for a while, so I will try to explain how I feel generally. Had HA back in September & had a stent fitted. Most of the time I feel ok but every now & again I feel pretty awful, like I'm getting over Flu or a virus. My main symptons are tenderness in lower ribs & stomach ache

vegan burger
hi there, I had a stent put in just under a month ago and I have been eating really well. I am going out tonight for a vegan beyond burger and am freaking out that it’s not healthy enough. Do you think I’ll be alright? Is one burger alright? Many thanks Karin

Still pain
Hello, My husband had a stent and double bypass following a heart attack 8 months ago. He's doing incredibly well with rehab and getting fit again. He's still getting pain around his pecks and tightness across his chest when exercising. This goes when he relaxes, so short-lived . I was wondering if

Question for those who are stented
Hello I'm sure this has been asked several times but I've had a look and cant find an answer on here. In January 2023 I was stented due to a blocked LAD artery. My other arteries were healthy and fine and the blockage was believed to be caused from a clot due to Antiphospholipid syndrome. My question

Alternative to a Stent
Hi everybody, I just read this article by John Crace in the Guardian. He had a heart attack about a week ago and then had an Angiogram. He mentions that he expected to have a stent fitted to resolve a blocked artery, but instead the cardiologist used a drug to remove the blockage. I had not heard about

Post nstemi.. liver bloods?
So in December 2023 I had an nstemi (have a stent fitted).Today I went for a blood test to check my cholesterol levels, kidneys and liver function. I assume because of all the meds I'm on. This evening I get a text to say to book a "routine appointment" with my GP to discuss liver bloods. I rang and

1 year on from heart attack and stent fitted. Still struggling.
I walked to the hospital for an appointment today, for a pre-op for a knee replacement. The hospital is only half a mile. On the way back I was out of breath and experiencing pain in the top left hand side of my chest and light-headed, and I had to sit and catch my breath. At the pre-op they checked

Such sad emotions after coronary heart disease diagnosis.
Hello. I have recently been diagnosed with coranary heart disease with a 100 percent block in RCA. The cardiologist opened this up as far as possible but unable to place a stent because the artery was to narrow. The cardiologist doctor also told me they are not to concerned about this because there is

Female heart attack
Hi, I had a heart attack on 1st March. I am shocked and still in a bit of disbelief. I am a 53 year old woman and always thought I was pretty healthy. I'm not obese, I don't smoke, I probably could exercise more and eat more healthily. I am pretty active. I have had alot of stress lately. My LAD was

flying
how soon can you fly after having stent fitted , and is it not advisable to fly long haul . Also can anyone recommend a travel insurance company that doesn’t charge a fortune, but still covers for this ? Thanks

post heart attack and stent insertion
my partner had heart attack and stent inserted at the end of January. Nothing but trouble since in that it seems the medication has some effect in constant dizzy spells and light heads, so extreme that he cannot leave the house and isn't eating as much etc. He has been taken off ramipril altogether.
