just back from seeing DR at hospital and 3 out of the 4 bypasses have worked?. he says there is nothing surgically he can do at this point and will see me in 1 year's time. keep on with the Gtn spray when needed. do's this mean I still have angina??

Unfortunately yes! If you need GTN spray to relieve angina type symptoms then you have angina. Sorry the fourth graft did not work. How and when did you know something was wrong?

hi thanks.

had quad back in april 2017 every thing was ok until april this year when I started to get a bit breathless DR says the 4 one was to a branch of small vessels, and the three where main ones and it is the 4 that has not worked.

Thank you. I had a quadruple just over two months ago but feel I am lagging behind the norm at the moment. Been discharged and medics seem happy.

hi Michael

sorry to hear you are not feel your best after my bypass it was 4/5 months before I felt any better. 2 months is a little to soon for you to be feeling back to your normal self small steps will pay in the long run. hope you feeling much better soon and remember SMALL STEPS ARE BETTER THAN NONE.
