Getting back to fitness following CABG
Triple bypass 9 weeks ago. Up until a few months before surgery and when I knew there was a problem, I was training everyday at the gym doing CrossFit etc. At the moment I am walking everyday 3-5 miles each day but am now itching to do more. My breathing is good when walking but not when going upstairs

AF after eating
Had a triple bypass last Monday. Surgery went well. And bounced in and out of CICU and HDU, deposited on the ward and left with my swirling thoughts. My recovery was going well. On the Wednesday night, I treated myself to some ice cream for a desert on the hospital menu. Two spoons in, I felt a weird

Please can somebody tell me what CABG is? Not everyone is clued up with these acronyms and not would be helpful if it could be explained please.😀

RA and live flu vaccine
HiMy daughter has rung to say my 2 year old grandson has just had a live flu vaccine. She said the GP has said to avoid people with very compromised immune systems, eg. they said, having bone marrow transplants, for a week. She asked if it was safe for them to see me and was told they had no guidance

My Recovery so far post Stem cell Transplant
Sorry I've been absent for so long, my stem cell transplant journey has been a difficult one to be honest and only now do I feel able to be able to tell the story so far. Thank you to everyone who kindly messaged me to see how I was and apologies for asking so long to respond. I really appreciated

Anyone had a coronary sinus reducer?
I haven't been on here in a long while. My medical history is pretty complex, I'm seen locally at the Bristol Heart Institute but also under the care of the Cardio-oncology team at the Royal Brompton which a forum member told me about years ago thankfully. Basically my bone marrow transplant and other

Triple Bypass
Long story short, which I guess is similar to others. I’m being scheduled for a CABG. Triple bypass by the looks of things. Initially, a bit scared. Worried about my future. The standard gamut of emotions which are swirling around my mind. I guess I have a couple of questions. What’s the surgery

7 Week Review after CABG
7 weeks since I had the CABG x 4... went in for a review with my consultant. Soooo glad I had read up on here, and had the Cardio Rehab assessment beforehand, and had made notes of the questions a needed answers too. It was brutally efficient - [i]yep your op was a success, you can do anything, and

?Anxiety after CABG
Trying to find out if anybody else has gone through what is happening to my parent. They had CABG 5 weeks ago. The family think she is making a good recovery, we are encouraging her. She is 80.

Antioxidants can help cancerous tumors grow new blood vessels, which helps the cancer to grow and spread.
They didn't expressly refer to prostate cancer. But this is an issue that has been on my mind for a while. Antioxidants can help cancerous tumors grow new blood vessels, which helps the cancer to grow and spread. Https://m.jpost.com/health-and-wellness/article-757233 While many people may take

CABG Scar By Zorro
Had a Cabg 18 wks ago and this left a sternum scar about five inches long.I think they use glue to close it rather than stitches and there was a dressing that stayed on for a few days. The scar was quite scary to begin with but i didn't give it much thought.Then as i got better and my thoughts turned

Insulin working differently after cabg
Hi I've had a cabg x4. Before surgery my diabetes was stable using both a slow release and a fast acting insulin. Since the operation the insulin is reacting more strongly to the same foods & I can't seem get a balance without dropping - and whichever medics I ask they have no knowledge of this. I

I want to feel normal again
I had a CABG X 3. 5 months ago was hoping to feel at least a bit better by now but just feel worse. The cardiologist has said the way I’m feeling is nothing to do with the surgery. My chest pain is gone but I’m breathless and unable to walk far. I could walk farther a few weeks ago than I can now. I
