Cardio consultant appointment
Hi, good morning Have got an appointment next week with cardio consultant. Had Stemi HA and stent April 2019 totally out of the blue and not really feeling 100% yet. Am I expecting too much? Had lots of return visits to a&e and 2 week stay after big GI bleed from the medicines. Still very tired in afternoons

Statins and PAF meds ... should I worry?
Hi, Wife has just had her annual blood test from GP which shows her cholesterol level as 5.4 mmol/L. This has been flagged as borderline and GP has recommended she goes on statins. She suffers from PAF, but has had no noticeable events since last August when they upped her Bisoprolol following a stay

GTN spray
Hello hope all are well. Anyone had any issues with taking their GTN spray on a plane or any other meds. It's my first time flying since my HA and stent.

Stent inside stent
Hi Has anyone on here had a stent put inside a partly collapsed stent? As I had this done last year and started to be unwell since this procedure was done it's been nearly a year now and the symptoms have got much worse. Apparently my heart is ok by the tests that have been done but doctors seem to don't

Kissing ovaries and obstructed ureter
I'm new to this forum. I was recently diagnosed with endometriosis this January after years of horrendous periods, which I assumed were normal! I'm 28 years old, no children, and no desire to have children. I'm in a same sex relationship as well. I have 'kissing ovaries' which have massive cysts on them

An abnormally slow exercising heart rate..... WHY?
Up until Dec. 2017, when I was 68, I was almost exceptionally fit and had a resting heart rate in the low 50's and a high energy rate in the mid to high 180's. I had a stent fitted in April 2019 following which I have endured 3 rapid ambulance visits to A&E because of heart pain, low blood oxygen levels

Needing Advice
Hey guys, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted. To give you some background, my dad was diagnosed with stage IVb prostate cancer/Gleason 9 in October 2018. Prostatectomy not an option for local and peritoneal Mets at that time. Underwent 6 rounds of taxotere, responded SO well with minimal side effects

Letter from Cardiology Bypass & Stenting
A quite technical post ( sorry ) Just posting this for Michael so I can be clear as to my individual case of Stent and Bypass surgery.. I was taken to the Cath Lab for PCI, previous information was a bypass grafting to my LAD using LIMA and a Vein graft to my Obtuse Marginal branch of my Circumflex.

Abnormal Stress Test
Hey everyone, I was hoping to post a HA anniversary upbeat outcome from my stress test today. Its almost 12mths post HA and stent... but the computer says NO. Seems I have some abnormal blood flow so I have been recalled for another angiogram. I was hoping to hit the reset button today and get on with

BBC Newsnight report Stents V surgery trial
The program looked at heart doctors holding back data that suggested that more people with left main disease who were fitted with stents were dying than those who were treated by open heart surgery. The Excel trial was sponsored by the US stent manufacturer Abbott. The European Society of Cardiology

Heart Doctors Held Back Stent Death Data
This is more a disturbing than an interesting read. I will watch Newsnight tonight although I did not spot whn it is being broadcast. At the moment I am not commenting further as I do not want to speculate! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-51539112

Doctors. No symptom is too small...

In 2004 I had a stent fitted for a 95% blockage in an artery. It worked well up to the start of running, when I started to get aches in my

Waiting forever after complications with an Angiogram
Hi all, New here. Had a heart attack in early July last year and had no idea that I had suffered one - no chest pain, just dizziness, nausea and pain in my arms and back more akin to muscle aches after exercise (I also thought I had some sort of gastric reflux and swigged a load of Gavescon). Anyway,
