Dad has hypoxic brain injury after cardiac arrest
My dad had heart surgery came out and then had a CA for 20mins. He has had a scan which is saying hypoxic brain damage. We are on day 3 and he is moving legs, responding to pain opening eyes but he is unconscious. He is not responding to pain. I am writing for positive stories as it all seems very bleak

Heart Bypass
Hi all I’m knew here I’m waiting for a heart bypass and a valve replacement. I’m very overweight and trying to lose weight before op. I’ve had my anaesthetic pre op and he said that due to my size my recovery will be harder and I need to get my lungs as healthy as possible and I will probably be in Intensive

Cat and anxiety
Hello everyone, Approximately 2 weeks ago my eldest cat has been diagnosed with heart failure and risked to die. Fortunately, the vets managed to stabilise him and now he is back home with us. We have to medicate him twice a day and we are aware he is at high risk and the vets informed us that that

Anticoagulant switching
There have been a few post recently about pressure to switch from apixaban to other anticoagulants. I’ve been on apixaban for a number of years now and so far not been asked to change. However my 92 year old father in law, who has chronic kidney problems, has just been given edoxaban instead of his

AV node ablation
hi all I thought I would let you know I had my AV node ablation last Friday. If you have read My posts you will realise I was scared silly about it as it is so final. Dr Graham at LGI was amazing as were all the staff. They were so careful to make sure I was as calm as I could be. The procedure

So much pain
Hi all, I hope that you are doing well. Is anyone suffering from chronic pain due to central nervous system damage? How do you cope? I'm bedridden 2 years now after open heart surgery and overmedicated then undermedicated.

set pattern to PAF
I have had PAF for about 9 years. Symptoms tolerable but the attacks last about 12 hours. No diagnosed cause and cannot take medication owing to low heart rate just on apaxiban. Heart deemed to be too healthy to have an ablation & run even the low risk. I get an attack every 3 weeks, used to be less

Dental Treatment after open heart surgery
Hi I am 7 months recovering from open heart surgery for a repair to my mitral and tricuspid valves. This morning one of my teeth started hurting when I was eating my breakfast. Now tonight the tooth feels a bit loose. My question is do I have to have antibiotics before any dental treatment and if so

angiogram
Has anyone had to stop their apixaban for an angiogram. I understand because of bleeding, but when I went to have my pre op assessment the nurse didn’t know. She "thought" I had to stop the apixaban for 2 days prior and take aspirin 75 instead. I have tried to get on to the hospital, but always answerphone
