That's been a good dayđź‘Ť
It's 16 weeks since my HA and
angioplasty
, today I had a follow up appointment with the cardiologist at Scarborough Hospital. I was well impressed, my appointment was scheduled for 9.00am, I arrived 15 minutes early....before 9.00am I'd had my BP taken, been weighed and had an ECG.

Statins and leg cramps/ pain
I was put on 80mg Atorvastatin after having
Angioplasty
but because of severe leg cramps and discomfort, after 8 months I have been prescribed 40mg of Simvastatin statins. I am now getting a lot of discomfort in my legs at night, sometimes a kind of burning sensation and aches.

She said based on my history and family history it was best to have an Angiogram to see what was happening, The plan was to have me taken to the teaching hospital where they do
angioplasty
so if I needed stents they would do it all in one go.

Heart Scan
I was taken to another hospital where I had an angiogram and
angioplasty
. I went home after 11 days. I then had to go back In April and have a perfusion scan. During the scan the doctor stopped it and said that it was not for me. A couple of weeks later I got a report from my cardioligist.

Chest pain post angioplasty/stenting
Hi all, So I had a stent fitted (LAD) to open up a narrowing in my artery on Friday morning. Have been experiencing off and on chest pain. Not too intense. More mild to moderate pain on left side of chest. Just wondering how common chest discomfort is post procedure. It could be settling in pain where

How long does pain last after angioplasty
Painful arm two weeks after
angioplasty
. When the procedure was performed, my radial artery was spasming, so they changed places. But, the intravenous moved slighty out of my vein, and the relaxing meds went into my arm under the skin instead of the vein.

Wheezing/breathless post stent
Angioplasty
and stent all within a 2 week period. Haha!! Crazy times!! My question. I take the above meds still, plus Ticagrelor. I feel like I have asthma. I have felt like that all the way through - it’s what sent me to the doctor.

I was moved to another hospital where I had an angiogram and
angioplasty
. After 11 days I was sent home with meds and I thought was doing alright. In May I was admitted to hospital again and, I had to have an urgent triple heart bypass.

Referral to renal unit?
I’ve recently been in hospital for
angioplasty
which unfortunately couldn’t go ahead due to the twisting and an aneurysm in the RCA. I had a kidney removed 3 years ago due to cancer and the remaining kidney never picked up from about 45 gfr. It has gone steadily down to 37gfr.

Seeking for morale support from fellow heart stent heroes!
I’m a 45 year old male had an
angioplasty
done last august. My road to recovery has been quite an emotional roller coaster ride. I’m seeking to make friends with people of the same condition, to share their day to day struggles and how they keep their motivation up.

I think I'm on the mend 🙂
I've done hours of research on the computer as to what I can and can't do following a HA and
angioplasty
, the variance of information from care trust to care trust is unbelievable, some have superb detailed information others have not much at all.

Defibrillator??
Morning all, I'm now 7 weeks on from my HA and 6 weeks on from my
angioplasty
and I've got to say I'm feeling pretty good. I'm doing an hours walk at a decent pace every day, doing my Fitsteps classes again, doing my gardening and generally enjoying life.

ATORVASTATIN Side effects
I had the proceedure known as
Angioplasty
where the arteries ate widened using a balloon rather than stents. I now get very painful cramps at night but my GP will not reduse the dosage because of my heart attack, too risky I guess. Does anyone else ecperience this?

Arm pain right & left- Bisoprolol?
Had to be resuscitated when having
angioplasty
to remove clot. Artery had to be stented. Recurring effusions and pericarditis since then. Probably have PTSD as get very anxious. Keen to hear anyone with both right & left arm pain. Might be muscular after the open heart surgery.

Upper back pain AFTER heart attack?
My Mum is in her second week following a heart attack treated by
angioplasty
(stent). The past couple days she has complained of a general ache/pain in her upper back. Is this normal? It's got me on high alert and very anxious but she's claiming it as a general part of recovery.

I obviously mentioned to the nurses my dull ache, an ECG showed everything to be working well as did a very thorough scan of my heart....the specialist said the ache from the trauma of the
angioplasty
should go within a couple of weeks. He was bang on correct.
