Unexplained severe pains after heart attack & stent 4 wks ago
Hi, Looking for others that may have the same pain as I do! I'm a 48yr old female that had escalating symptoms (exhaustion, light headedness, hypertension) for 6 months before my heart attack. I had one stent fitted. My heart attack presented strangely apparently - I had most of the pain in my left

Clopidogrel
Due to come of clopidogrel at the beginning of September, it being a year since I had my stent. Did anyone who was in the same situation just stop them completely or did they wean themselves off. I will have a week's worth of tablets left.

Any advice?
Hi guys, sorry to be a total let down. I have cirrhosis and TIPS stent fitted 8 years ago. I have battled the booze many times and last periosd of sobriety was 19 months, at the moment it has got hold of me again and I need to stop. Getting delivery from Deliveroo of 10 cans of lager a day, its not much

Survivor 52 - my story
Whilst I have posted on others 'story' lines I realise that I've not said anything about my own in one place. So here goes ... In October of last year I had an angina attack, not sure what brought it on. Within a day or two I was in A&E with chest pains and unable to breathe. It passed and I was sent

early repolarisation
Hello members, My family has had its fair share of emotional difficulties since my father had his heart attack in September 2020 where two stents were placed in the LAD and one stent was later placed in the RCA in December 2020. He has been taking good care of himself and the reports have been

Angina aggravated by cold air
In spite of getting a stent four weeks ago I'm still getting angina symptoms. Ever since my symptoms began last year I have noticed that they become more pronounced in cold air. For example today I took a long walk in summer sun and felt fine. Tonight I walked again in colder air and the symptoms reappeared

To monitor or have surgery?
I was recently diagnosed with an aneurysm on my internal carotid artery. The team at the Wessex Neurological Centre have told me it’s a borderline decision on whether to do surgery or monitor it and that the choice is up to me. If they proceed with surgery they would need to do an endovascular stent

Northern Ireland Cardiologist ?
I know this is a long shot but can anyone recommend a private cardiologist in N. Ireland ? I have never used private clinics before in my life but I'm desperate to get some advice on the failure of my stent to resolve my angina. Going private seems to be the only way to get a consultation.
