This has to be the silliest question asked to all us Heart Attack survivors, but has anyone felt part of you died on the day of your Attack, reason I ask this question is on the day I had my attack back in January 2019 , I was working in my daughters house putting up shelves / coat hangers and other

Unintentional weight loss
Hi all. My mum is 77 had a heart attack and heart failure 4 months ago. She’s just on medication as they couldn’t put a stent in. Anyway her recovery has been slow but she’s getting there. My main concern is that she’s lost weight without trying and she certainly doesn’t need to lose any. She’s only

Dealing with muscle pain
I'm almost 9 weeks in from having a stent fitted and am on aspirin and clopidogrel. I'm having a number of issues, one is the more common muscle pain. I've had it in my chest, and for the last few days it's been in my lower back and groin. I've tried ticagrelor as an alternative but I was not able to

Clopidogrel
Hi, I had a heart attack and one stent fitted 5 years ago, and since have kept well. My GP has just done a medication review and has noticed i have been on clopidogrel for 5 years. She has been in touch with the cardiologist who says my notes say i should have been on them for 12 months only then

20 Month Update
I've passed 20 months since diagnosis, and am also two weeks since my last chemo infusion and a week since my urinary stent was changed. It's been a rough month, and a CT scan later this week will determine the future course of my treatment. Read the full version at my blog: https://tominmotion.blogspot.com

Support for my father, North Yorkshire - anxiety and no rest.
Hi my father came out of hospital two days ago after his stent failed and they inserted a balloon. Is there a support group near Richmond North Yorkshire? I feel anxiety is an issue for him and resting at home is hard. He was out of hospital then next day due to covid risks and we didn't have a proper

HIIT
Anyone else doing HIIT? I am 4 months into recovery from HA and stent, I have been following the cardio rehab exercise programme and have been doing level 5 for a while. My general fitness level is very good and blood pressure is normal. I want to up the level of workout but I’m unsure if HIIT is safe

Stent testing
Has anyone on here had pressure test on stents done and did it hurt. As I had it done on my stents and it really hurt and I've still got the after effects 10 months since it was done. The test was done in the LAD where I had a stent put inside another stent. Any advice would be great as it's made my

Should I have more Chemo now?
My urologist confirmed that while the PCa nodes in my bladder have shrunk, they are still obstructing my ureter. Therefore, instead of removing my stent, he replaced it. So, I finished 6 Docetaxel sessions 4 weeks ago and as I'm responding to the Chemo, Eligard and Casodex, I'm considering 4 more chemo

Following a heart attack last week I had a stent fitted, through my right arm, how long can I expect to have a dead arm for as it’s affecting my sleep. Any advice will be gratefully received. Thank you
