Blood sugar all over the place
It's been 20days after my 5x bypass. My blood sugar level was not well controlled at all. I'm on metformin 500g x twice daily. BMI 21, I am a type 2 Does cabg affect blood sugar? I'm on iron pills and its making me constipated too. Does anyone have the same experience? I'm also watchful of my food.

Blocked arteries and stents
So here’s my first post. Bare with me, I have so much going on in my head and just need to get it out. My brother died on 15th January this year for no apparent reason, aged 49. Post mortem showed blocked arteries. So based on this I went for some check ups and everything looked great. Ultrasound, Ecg

Aftercare from hospital after CABG (or lack of!)
My fiancé had x3 bypass in late January 2020. He had AFib and a heart flutter after surgery and had to spend additional time in icu. He has missed out on all aspects of aftercare - no cardiac rehab and 1 telephone consultation with his original cardiac consultant (not the team that completed his surgery

Wrist Pain
Had a heart attack, nearly two years ago and had stent fitted , when it was done the pain in my wrist was terrible from inserting stent , I have noticed lately I have a lot of pain from the site. Just wondered if anyone else was the same .

Ear blocked after my CABG bypass
Does anyone get any ear muffled after surgery? My right ear is like a little blocked, a little muffled after 10days into my surgery. Just curious if this is common. And having sleepless nights. I managed to wink only 30-60min and will be awake. Surely frustrating Cheers

Hi everyone, Hope you are all keeping safe and well.

Meds problem update
Hi all, I thought I'd offer an update to my earlier post. All advice has been appreciated. To recap, 2 weeks after a stent insertion I stopped my beta blocker, ace inhibitor and statin due to increasing and crippling nerve pain. I remained on aspirin and clopidogrel. At first I was advised not to do

Too many balls to keep up!
I'm really struggling at the moment. I've been experiencing chest pain with only very moderate 'exercise' (walking 200 metres on level footpath) and I was referred to the cardiology clinic. Given beta blockers. Then had a slip on wet grass one dark rainy night and badly broke my ankle. The following

Meds problems after heart attack
Hi all, I'm new here so bear with me. I had a heart attack 4 weeks ago and had a stent fitted. Prior to this I wasn't on any meds, but was immediately placed on 6 different meds. I have a history of reacting badly to most meds. Typical symptoms are nerve pain in hands and feet, swollen abdomen, sensation
