310 Lb., 66 Year Old Man 11 Weeks After Cabbage.
I just signed up. I hope I can learn from all of you and contribute to the forum. I’ve had a couple of periods of time when I was in athletic tip-top physical shape at 210 lbs., but most of my life I’ve been a pig. I’m not a small fat man... I’m a stout large boned fat man... Based on many bone measurements

Routine check ups after CABG x5
I’m just asking out of curiosity - my husband had a quintuple bypass in Canada 2 years ago. We came back to the U.K. last August and gave the doctor all his records. Do people have annual checks with a cardiologist here or if you are ok is that it?

With hindsight, what do you wish you'd known when you had your first diagnosis of Parkinsons
I'm new here, but already signed up with the 'heart' section after having 2 new valves, an atriclip and a CABG in February this year.I had a stroke in 2016!Whatever next! Parkinsons is the answer - and I'm determined to fight that too with your help - what a wonderful brother/sisterhood you are. Typing

Hi Nice people, hope you are all good and well. I must say that 8 weeks after CABG I’m feeling almost back to normal (as normal as normal can be) .... I had my sign-off meet at the The hospital yesterday, with my Surgeon, the one I look up to now as the man who was between me and my maker. I was very

TPLL
I want to thank you all again for welcoming me into your community. Mike's cancer diagnosis has been very unique. As has his treatment. I don't recall what I have already shared, but his actual diagnosis ended up being TPLL (Tcell Prolymphocytic Leukemia). His WBC count went from 432,000 on 9/30 to 530,000

GCA patient saw cardiologist yesterday, med changes
Hi all: So I took, my weatherman to Cardiologist yesterday. Routine checkup, because of the history of CABG 2005 and stent replacement last year and occasional chest pain with flareups. So during his visit yesterday, Mac told cardiologist about needing nitro 3x in one week with symptoms of GCA. This

Back to work?
I’m seven weeks post CABG and feeling great. I’m in well paid high pressure IT job and am feeling some ‘guilt and anxiety’ about not having opened the Laptop yet. I just don’t feel ready in my head yet to jump in. My work very supportive and not exerting any pressure but I just don’t want to feel

Life after transplant
I read a lot about people struggling after transplant to get back to normal life and it’s clear that for many “normal” is not what they had before diagnosis. I don’t know if I am in a minority or we only tend to speak out when things are bad but my life is amazing now. My bloods are all in normal ranges

Audible clicking noises
I’m 5 weeks post CABG, and all’s great so far. I’m having a few ‘loud’ bone clicking noises ‘from somewhere in there’ as I do exercises stretching chest and moving arms and rib-cage. Is this a natural part of healing or should I worry about?

Ntpobnp blood test
Hi all. I had a bone marrow transplant 2 years ago. It put stress on my heart. Last week i had a echocardiogram which has come back good!!! Though my bnp level is 600... i am 38. So too high. My consultant is not worried though. Does this sound right?? Does a high bnp always mean heart failure? Back

Monkey whispering in my ear
I’m 5 weeks into double bypass CABG recovery and feeling really good. So good that a monkey on my shoulder has started to whisper in my ear such things as AF and STROKE. I think I maybe need a good telling off and a kick, and need to get on with my life now, (I’m very lucky to be fixed) OR are these

Car-T and a bone marrow transplant
Is someone in their late 70's and older too old to have Car-T therapy or a bone marrow transplant?

Just checking please - 48 bpm
Hi fellow heart-people I hope you are all well. It’s my four week anniversary of CABG double bypass and doing well so far ! I hope this progress continues. I bought an apple watch and perhaps have become too obsessed by the heart monitor. It is showing my BPM at rest as 48/49. I’m on Amiaderone for

Apixaban
My warfarin has been ceased and I have been commenced on Apixaban. Since taking Apixaban I have been breathless and feel tight in the chest. I have had double CABG and a bovine valve replacing my aortic valve. Any suggestions should I go back to warfarin or continue with the Apixaban for a few more

Brain Inflammation
Last week I completed the MIN-102 trial which concluded with an MRI. The next day I received a call from the neurologist saying there are changes from the last MRI (9/19) and what is brain inflammation. She felt it urgent enough to prompt a video visit with me and my neurologist. I got the radiologist

Has anyone decided between CABG and a crush stent procedure (several stents lined back to back or one crushed so it can form a V)?
My dad had an angiogram this afternoon and the doctors are weighing these two options. I'm not familiar with these stent procedures and really worried about my dad. Any advice would be appreciated.

Is it possible to stent four arterial blockages in one angioplasty?
My dad (62) has at least four significant arterial blockages (over 70%) one of which is in his LAD. He's scheduled for an angioplasty tomorrow and possible stenting, but with so many blocks I'm worried they'll have to do CABG. Has anyone been in this situation and only treated it with stents and meds
