Hi, is this group also help and support for partners of someone who had a heart attack/ bypass CABG? Thank you .
My husband had a heart attack 7 months ago aged 48. They fitted a stent and a week later had a double bypass CABG. He has finished rehab and he is growing stronger each day.

Rampiril, half a 1.25mg tablet & a 1.25mg bisoprolol. Why the Rampiril ? 🤣
I wonder why I’m on such a small, fiddly dose of Rampiril? My bisoprolol was lowered from 3.75mg to 1.25 last September and the half 1.25mg Rampiril added. My BP is always 107-115 over 68-75 , resting heart rate 44-49 bpm. Been running 5k 3 times a week plus other activities. 7 months months post CABG

Monday Morning CABG
This is my first post and I have been a reader for a month or so of this forum. I have to say it has given me some comfort to read that i'm not alone. I am going into hospital late Sunday afternoon in preparation for my triple bypass Monday morning. I have to admit i'm slightly apprehensive and a little

failed CABG
had cabgx2 in May. Today I had angiogram which showed one graft was blocked and the other partially so. Has anyone had a similar experience and if so what was the treatment. They have made urgent referral to MDT and said they will plan what to do next. Options suggested were further bypass, stenting

3 weeks post CABG surgery
Looking for a bit of reassurance… My dad had a triple heart bypass 3 weeks ago, all went well apart from starting with a chest infection whilst in ICU. He was given IV antibiotics then oral antibiotics and was discharged after 5 days. He’s been home just over 2 weeks now and has been to the GP and his

Holiday - flying
My husband would like us to go abroad for some winter sun in the next couple of weeks. Following my CABG in July I am anxious about flying. Should I be worried ?

CAD at 47 - Shock
Just a bit of background. Was suffering from anxiety attacks and heart palpitations last Sep. Was referred to a cardiologist (privately). Did the usual tests (holt ecg / Echo / CTCA). Whilst the ecg and echo came back with no issues, unfortunately CTCA showed moderate( 50%) stenosis in mid-LAD. Calcium

2 weeks after Bypass surgery
Good morning everyone 😊 Sorry for the delayed update. On 15 Jan I underwent CABG x3. I was in ICU on the ventilator for 24 hours after op as there was a bleed on my chest that they needed to correct before waking me up. I was completely unaware of any of this, my first memory was a 3am phone call from

Easing pain in sternum / breast bone when coughing and sneezing.
After I had had a Triple CABG Operation done, every time that I coughed, or sneezed, which I tend to do violently my sternum / breastbone / chest hurt a lot. It was not until a physiotherapist friend had told that hugging myself would make coughing and sneezing more comfortable , that it did not hurt

Hubby having cabg X4 on Thursday
Hubby had a very mild heart attack 2 weeks ago. Kept in hospital then after a week sent to a specialist hospital in Sheffield to have angioplasty and stents. They immediately kept him in Sheffield hospital and he's having a quadruple bypass this Thursday. Feeling so scared and although they are fantastic

Amlodipine Unwanted Side Effects
Several years ago, I was put on my first ever medication for High Blood Pressure, AMLODIPINE. One of the unwanted side-effects of it was abnormal chest pain on the left side of the chest. I even had to get a GP to check me out, but he said that there was nothing wrong. Eventually, my own GP phased

Bisoprolol Experience.
On the 4th of April, 2023, I had a Triple Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Operation. I was then prescribed Bisopralol 10mg, a day, including to help control my high blood pressure. That was despite my telling the hospital doctors that that might not be suitable, because Betablocker medicines like that

Post CABG infection at leg wound site
My husband had Triple bypass surgery on 1st Dec. Recovered really well and was looking great with minimal pain and getting stronger every day. Wounds had healed well although leg wound/scar where they took the saphenous vein was still a bit lumpy although closed, dry and healthy looking. Suddenly three

Operations
I was just wondering if anyone has gone through an operation that's nothing to do with your liver. I have two fingers on my right hand that are completely bent over and I have no movement. The hospital gave me four options:- 1. leave it as it is. 2. A slight operation that could partially make them straight

I’ve had the Bone Marrow Transplant!!! That was actually the easiest part. 5 hours of fluids leading up to the BMT and the previous 5 days of chemo infusions (day5 was the worst) were much harder. Chemo: Fladarabine -6 thru-2 with addition of Melphalan on day-2. When you start treatment (chemo) for

Continued Journey
Getting my forth chemo treatment today. This has been much easier than the O CHOP. It has been smooth sailing especially with the surgically implanted port.( I forgot to mention). I am starting to notice some fatigue and energy slow down which is quite natural. One more chemo treatment tomorrow then

Myelofibrosis- GVHD graft, versus, host, disease.
Hi, thanks for accepting me onto your site. My name is Gary, I am 64 years old and was diagnosed with Myelofibrosis in July, 2024. It all started when I began to feel lethargic and very tired, I had no inspiration to do anything. I was a taxi driver and was only managing to work one or two days a week
