I'm still feeling slight pressure in my chest (I sometimes feel like I have a golf ball stuck in my chest where the stent was

Burning pain in right armpit (CABG 10/18/23)
Hi everybody!I had my CABG done last Oct and was wondering if anyone else has experienced a burning shooting pain in one or both of their armpits? It started about a month or so ago in my right armpit and has continously gotten a little stronger over time.

Hi All, I hope everyone is doing ok. This is my second post now, since my heart attack and my stent being fitted on November 30th. In my last post I mentioned the various pains I'd been experiencing, all of which seemed quite common and other people were very reassuring. Call me in denial but when I

Low heart rate
12 days ago my husband had a log hit him in the shin whilst splitting logs. At the time it came up like a tennis ball but other than that didn’t think too much of it. The swelling has gone down but he is getting pain in his leg. Not the leg they harvested from for his CABG x5). Eventually we decided

Tomorrow I get my Cardiac CT Results
I was hoping that I could reverse my plaque scores but after reading a medical journal, I will now be happy with status quo.This is what it states: Coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG) have been proposed to accelerate native coronary atherosclerosis. In patients with established coronary artery disease

Holiday insurance
I’ve seen recommendations here for holiday insurance but haven’t made a note of any companies. If it’s any help I’m female 71 with PAF and one stent. Thanks all.

8 months post Nstemi and quadruple CABG
it’s not all been a linear progress but it has been pretty darn good. Back ggedt issue I’ve had is with my statins. I thought it was the Bisoprolol (1.25mg ) and ramipril (half a 1.25mg tablet) that was making me dizzy , fatigued and zombie like every afternoon to early evening. Plus I had cognitive

Can’t get a GP appt though they

Shooting pain below left nipple
Hi. Is it normal to be still getting discomfort around the heart and the odd shooting pain 2 weeks after having a heart attack and a stent fitted left descending artery? It feels like a sharp stabbing pain below my left nipple. Not excruciatingly painful but enough to be distracting and slightly worrying
