Sternum discomfort
I had a CABG x 3 in July and am recovering well. My main problem is the discomfort/pain where my sternum was wired up. The main problem is at the bottom of my scar. I have lost weight so not much padding, I wondered if this will get better as time goes on. It is uncomfortable mostly when trying to

Concerned
Good morning all, Back in November, I’d had a stent fitted as I’d had a 90% blockage in my LAD. The CT Angiogram done before the Angiohram detected narrowing in multiple arteries. I was 44yrs of age then. Since I’ve made positive lifestyle changes. I’m left wondering though, how is any of us routinely

Long-term health of bypass grafts.
Hi, Feel slightly fraudulent as I’m fit and healthy, after a bypass in 2016, but I’m just curious for any insights / opinions re one niggling question. I do fairly intense cardio every other day (mostly) and my BMI’s at the top end of normal. For my age - 61 - I’m fairly fit. My question is: do those

stopping bisopromol
Hi All, hope you are keeping well. In the last 18 months I’ve paid privately to see the consultant who put the stent inside of me. It started with paying for an echo cardio gram and also a fitness test because I put it down to the meds I was on, but that general feeling of dog****. Fatigued.

Stopping blood thinners after having a stent
Hi everyone, The Doctor has advised my dad to come off his blood thinners which he was put on after having a stent due to a blockage in his artery, he has said to stop them because his stomach is too delicate to handle the blood thinners and it's causing ulcers, my dad's worry is now that he is off them

I was explained that if in the process they will see a balockge of over and above certain % a stent will be inserted. In short I end up with one stent

Hi everyone just to update you all, I had a blood test on Monday which was needed to check everything before my procedure on the 25th . Had a phone call yesterday and was told since December my red blood cells had been going lower over last three blood tests. Because of the blood thinner I would need

Interruption to radiation due to other health issue; will it impact efficacy?
Has anyone here had an interruption to their radiation from another health event? Did you just pick back up on the radiation treatment as planned or did you break for a while and start all over again? My dad was on day 9 of 20 rounds of radiation and he had a heart attack and needed a stent. He had
