Weight loss after surgery
Hello everyone, I'm new here so please bear with me... I was lucky enough to get my double heart bypass done in between covid surges - it was third time lucky mind you, and the second time was because a last minute emergency patient needed my ICU bed, I was all ready, gowned up etc. That was a disappointment

3 month anniversary of double bypass
It’s a landmark day for me, 3 months, the magic 12 weeks ‘back to normal’ marker. Back to work this week (3days), pitching some balls on the golf course, and mowing the lawn etc. The only remaining meds are a statin and an aspirin dairy. Scar looks decent, chest still a little tight, but all pretty

Ablation recovery update
Good morning kind people, Just wanted to let you know how things are progressing, and for some advice please. It is now 9 weeks since I had my ablation, and as I have already posted, I have been having problems with my blood pressure dropping very low, and feeling as if I am going to pass out when ever

Surgical scar lumps.
Hi all, It's three months since my heart surgery and while my scar has healed I've noticed three small lumps at the bottom of the cut. They aren't painful but I do worry that they may be infections. Any ideas?

Taking NSAIDs like Ibruprofen with other drugs
I've injured my hip and wanted to take some anti-inflammatories such as ibruprofen. I vaguely rememberred I was told not to take them at one poiints but thought it was because I was on betablockers. But amiadarone being such a 'fierce' drug I thought I had better double check. Anyway, I contacted my

Furosemide side effects
I am suffering severe hearing loss and inflammation of big toe joints. I understand these are known side effects of the diuretic Furosemide. It was prescribed by GP because I have slight heart failure and various heart valve problems and in danger of water collecting round organs, although I have no

Advice
Hi, I’m new here. Acute heart failure July 2018, many med changes without success, CRT-D fitted Nov 2018. Further med changes since then including changing from Ramipril to Entresto. Still no improvement. Now consultant is discussing heart transplant and I’m scared. Any support or advice very much appreciated

If I can't reach behind my back after surgery, how will I be able to use toilet paper? This is actually very worrisome!
Well, this is embarrassing! But I am scheduled to have open heart surgery on Tuesday so I was reading about it, and it says you can't reach behind your back for a few weeks afterwards. How am I going to use TP after taking a dump then? I'm single and alone so there is nobody I could ask for help with

Anyone know what this could be on my smart watch ECG
So I am now on flecainide and Bisoprolol for AF and SVT. I have an Apple Watch that does my ECGs which my cardiologist has the results from. I have been experiencing strange beats that make me feel a bit funny. I have attached a picture just wondering wether anyone knows what it might be. It’s in sinus
