Angiogram
I had my much feared angiogram four days ago and it was fine. The previous nuclear stress test indicated blockage but my CABG grafts were clear Discharge instructions say to make a follow up appointment with my cardiologist but I keep getting put off by his office. They gave me a message and told me

Update to Specialist 1st visit
Hi everyone, Thank you for the support and information shared to my original post. As promised, I’m sharing what was explained to me by my referring hematologist regarding the letter sent her by the specialist. This is my experience and I want to be careful to not alarm any other forum members. This

Sternum Non-Union worries
HI everyone. 3 weeks ago I had my sternum rewired as it was clicking and clearly not joining after my CABG x3. The surgeon said the wires had pulled through my soft bones so he used a cable tie system for the second attempt. Whilst I realise it is early days, I do still feel some popping and clicking

Ibrutinib doing its job well
It's been a couple of months since I last posted and all is going well. WBC is coming down nicely and platelets, haemoglobin etc all in the healthy range. Joint pain is less often and I know that it will pass within a couple of days. Picking up on my exercise walking a local reservoir at pace (7.5k

Not so bad.....
Pleased to report that mammogram was bearable, in fact a lot less painful than when last taken, barely 2 years post CABG. Thence to GP. Heart rate better, but alas, BP still on the high side. I'm to return to see doctor for a medication review....treated myself to home made soup for lunch in local café

More news... you couldn't make this up
So the recovery continues slowly and not as well as I'd hoped but I do believe my existing issues from the Ciprofloxacin adverse reaction are making it worse. Then a week ago I went to the GP because I'd found a lump in the left side of my chest. Of course I was a little anxious and after the GP examined

My most annoying post CABG issue is problems with ectopic beats/PVCs etc.. I get them everyday and not little ones you hardly notice, they are frequent and quite distracting. Sure I have soreness still in my chest which I expected since I had a double mammary artery bypass but these premature and missed

Been a bit tied up with more issues!

I was already recovering from muscle and tendon problems after reacting badly to Ciprofloxacin 2 years ago

Bathing
My husband is 25 days post CABG, however since returning home has been strip washing daily for fear of getting in the bath (we don't have a shower).

A 74 year old - had 4x CABG in 1999, cardiac arrest in 2013, now equipped with a couple of stents and an IC , is about to go to Rome and Florence. Any advice about a sensible and reasonably priced travel insurance company would be greatly appreciated,

Coronary artery bypass
Hi everybody, I am listed for a coronary bypass after an angiogram which showed three diseased vessels. Is bypass the right option and whats the benefit risks ratio? I have had stens inserted before in 2010.
