Angiogram

[baron]

Had this proceedure carried out yesterday seen a 3cm blockage in one of the arteries in my heart, going to have angioplasty done soon, only discovered problem since having tight chest whilst exercising at the gym, lost a cousin 3 weeks ago to massive heart attack, the silent killer.
I consider myself very fortunate and lucky to have found it before it was to late.. thanks NHS.

Hope all goes well Baron.

I have a niece who had an angioplasty some years ago and she has done very well.

Best inform them at the blood donor centre as I think that will now have to stop.
You should be taking Asprin as well as statins, You will be as right as rain in a week or two, it's a minor procedure by todays standards, all the best

Yeah for some reason the cold air plays havoc with me as well i have 3 blocked arteries but due to the proximity of the artery damage they cannot stent/balloon them so @ times you feel like a ticking bomb just waiting for something to give again.
I also have angina now and ever since that was diagnosed i have deffo noticed the cold air issue you mentioned.

But the main thing is you are on the mend m8 and an early warning to take more care of yer body, but if your anything like me tho that will be the day :Laugh:
