Open chest ASD closure
Therefore I will be listed to have open
chest
surgery
to close my ASD defect. Does anybody have experience of having ASD defect closed via such an invasive procedure? Is the scar impacting in your quality of life?

Difficulty swallowing when lying down -sternum repair concerns
The dip at the bottom of my throat seems to be getting deeper and the pidgeon
chest
' appearance since
surgery
isn't improving. It feels like the clavicle is too high and bone is pressing upwards and inwards into the bottom of my throat and last night was frightening.

3 weeks post CABG surgery
He is also experiencing some upper back/shoulder pain, whether from the
surgery
or
chest
infection I’m not sure. Is this also a common occurrence? Any tips to try and relieve this?

Waiting forever for Heart MRI
Apparently 3 month wait for an appointment before they decide if I need
surgery
. In the meantime I cannot do anything without
chest
pain, breathlessness and coughing. Has anyone else had to wait ages for treatment, when they have been told it is urgent?

New, A Bit Scared, Would Appreciate Advice.
Last summer I developed awful
chest
pain, phoned my
surgery
who told me to go to A&E after waiting for hours having bloods, ECG etc, was told it was most likely indigestion 😒. So came home. The pain appeared to subside but then a few days later it came back.

Cough, chest pressure, GCA
I am being treated for GCA, but had a negative biopsy. I am now taking 40 mg of prednisone and will drop to 35 mg tomorrow. My first rheumatology appointment is May 16. I am in no pain but I am very fatigued and I continue to cough, especially when I speak, and have chest heaviness. My primary care

Treatment changes - Rituximab?
Finally saw my consultant again last week. Think he was quite surprised at how swollen my hands have become and he said I'd done well to keep going. So am feeling a little more positive, though I'm battling through a lot of pain. The steroid jabs I had in my finger and thumb base seem to have given

can pleural effusion alone come back?
when I was first diagnosed with HGS OC in December 2021, it had spread till the lungs. There were 2 small nodules in the lungs along with pleural effusion in the right lung, which was also tested to be malignant. Have been NED since first line ended in June 22, and been on olaparib since. Day before

Heart worries
Hi All, I have been having an ache in my chest for a number of weeks. The other night I woke up with chest pain. Ended up in A & E and had all the usual tests - ecg., bloods, chest x-ray. Very conscientious doctor couldn't find a problem although he did say troponin was 'slightly elevated'. Repeated

Exercise intolerance
Hi all. Does anyone have any idea how to tackle this please? Just over four months into PCS. At first I had to build exercise back up but managed to get to walking about five miles a few months ago. Not without symptoms and obviously pretty shattered the next day, but I could do it. Over the last
