Support for husband having triple heart bypass in February 2024
My husband had a heart attack in August 2023. When stenting his artery, surgeons said another artery needed attention. They tried to stent 5 days later but couldn't and he was put on the waiting list for a bypass. This is scheduled for mid February. He's only 65, fit - but a Type 1 diabetic. He's terrified

CBD (thc free) for pain relief
I’ve had a Triple Heart Bypass and Mitral Valve Repair. Before that I had a Lumber Spinal Laminectomy (which only worked for about 4 months). I’ve since also been diagnosed with Heart Failure so pain relief is very difficult. The Spinal Stenosis is now severe all down the Lumbar Region. I was given

Post surgery
I'm 5 weeks post
bypass
surgery
. My problem is that recently the soreness and pain in my chest has got worse. Is it possible that I've strained something by reaching and stretching? I've also been doing light housework such as dusting and sweeping.

Triple Heart Bypass
Hello, I am new to this community and am looking to find out if anyone has had the same symptoms as I am experiencing. I had a triple bypass 3 weeks ago and I am getting despondent because I don't feel that I will feel any better after 6 weeks which is when they said I could revert more back to normal

What bra did you wear after bypass surgery?
So ladies what bra did you get to wear after
bypass
surgery
? I also have a large chest so needs to be supportive. I’ve looked about but there are so many it’s hard to choose, I do have sports bras but don’t think they would be suitable. thanks in advance 😁

Terrified!!
I am scheduled for double
bypass
surgery
next Monday and am terrified! Have always been fit and healthy and never had to undergo in patient surgery. Need reminding of why I am putting myself through this, as angina pain is very well managed! I’m only 58 and my heart EF is good . 😬🥴

lidocaine
Hi all. I suffer with Severe Spinal Stenosis. I’ve already had Laminectomy (Decompression) surgery which only worked for about 3 months the pain then returned. This has been going on for the last 5 years and, unfortunately, in the meantime I had to have a Triple Heart Bypass and Mitral Valve Repair

Worried about brother still in hospital after heart surgery
Hello, I am posting because my brother is in hospital after a heart bypass and I am worried. He has a very sharp brain but seems to be finding it hard to express himself. He was due home this weekend but has a cough and fluid on the lung plus a partially deflated lung. He was on Amiodarone medication

Compression stockings
My husband has been wearing his compression stocks for 7 weeks now after having had a triple heart bypass.They are driving him mad now and he wants to stop wearing them. How long should they be worn for? Appreciate any advice, please.

Hi all, I got some private tests done (attached) and I have to say I’m surprised as they seem to point to me being hyperthyroid but have all the symptoms of hypo. Can someone explain to me please? Other tests done recently were: B12 - 240 - I have pernicious anaemia and am getting B12 injections off

Have I Really Got Heart Insufficiency?
I detest the the Heart Failure as it does not truly describe the condition and needs changing but I doubt the professionals can be bothered. As many of you will know I have serious issues my right foot/lower leg (in fact my only foot). Spending most of my time in a wheelchair I tend to develop a fair
