anyone out there with aortobifemoral bypass experience?
hi, I found out in 2020 that i need to have an aortobifemoral bypass graft as my aorta is completely blocked. I suffer from severe claudication in the legs and buttocks and can only walk very short distances without needing to rest. While assessing for the ability to survive this op, i was found to

The French Paradox - Why the French Have the Lowest Incidence of Heart Disease in the Developed World
Wine should be consumed in moderation. I drink one glass of red wine with my dinner, between 1 and 3 times per week.

New to Apixaban
Having been diagnosed with Arrhythmia, I will shortly start taking 5mg Apixaban twice a day. This causes me much concern. Will I be able to lead a normal life, eg play golf, go abroad on holiday etc and will I be able to have a couple of glasses of wine each day? I am currently a regular social drinker

Gluten free lentil pie with roast potatoes
Hi everyone, this is what I made for dinner it’s a pie with lentils onions and vegetables with a pie crust made using a crumble recipe as that’s a lot easier than making pastry that’s why it looks a bit rough and ready LOL. I sautéed diced onion in a little olive oil before adding frozen mixed veg and

My Recent Way of Dealing With Incontinence
I have been absolutely miserable for the last three years dealing with this problem. During a 50 minute workout in the gym I usually have to use the toilet three times. I refuse to wear diapers or pads for several reasons so I decided to try the incontinence condoms and a bag. I started using this technique

Aortic valve replacement

Does anyone know if being undermedicated (I have no thyroid and am on 5 x 100 & 2 x 0.75mcg Levo per week), can this affect eye health.
I am 70+ have had my Levo reduced for a year due my endo believing I am too suppressed and that it might be bad for my
bone
health
. Recently have been told I have an eye problem, could there be a connection?

Oxygen. Thing is I have severe COPD (emphysema and bronchiectasis) at stage four. Last FEV1 32%. I am 78. Now I have also had arrhythmia and some oedema so I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure as well. But two echo- cardiograms showed a healthy heart, two E CGs have showed the rhythm is now

Update
I’m getting released today from the hospital. I had my defibrillator wire removed this past Wednesday. A very delicate procedure considering the wire has been in for 17 years. The wire has damaged my Tricuspid valve in my heart allowing blood to back up into my liver and cause cardiac cirrhosis. Hopefully
