Symptoms a year after CABG, 20 months after Heart Attack.
I would be interested in the experiences of others relating to the aftermath of CABG surgery. Potted history: From around summer 2017 when aged 60, I started to feel a mild tingling and "tight" sensation sometimes under my left ribs, sometimes in my back around the same height. It continued on and

Life Insurance Recommendation
Please can any members recommend a insurance company for life insurance. I'm a 50 year old male with no mortgage. I've had a heart condition since the age of two after receiving open heart surgery 1974 (Mustard Procedure) and in 2019 had a stent fitted to help blood circulation. Many Thanks, Paul

Dad has brain cancer, heart issues, and now PSA has increased. Concerned about medication complications..
Hello friends! It's been a long time since I've posted. It's hard to keep up with my dad's health on my end.. we've had so many close calls that his prostate cancer has felt like a bump on the head compared to all the rest of his concerns! So, to bring everyone up to speed as quickly as I can, dad

Dental Implants
I had a heart attack back in June last year, had a stent fitted and have recently had a crt d fitted last month. My question is, my teeth are in tatters and I may need to consider implants... will this be possible?

I had a stent fitted. everytime I have back pain. Sore pressure like feeling in my neck. I think it happening again. Then

Who do I contact?
my LAD is 90% blocked. They’re unable to stent. After a stress test in an MRI a member of my consultants team phoned. He asked if I had any symptoms, I said no. He asked if I was still taking all the medications after a stent was put in another artery. I said I was. He asked how I felt about that? I

Got the Second Opinion
And I am SO glad I did! In a prior post, I had told about events leading up to a cardiologist getting snippy with me because I questioned the need for an ablation. The more research I did the more convinced I became that my gut feeling was right and I set up an appt. with a different doctor. Monday

tight proximal disease
Hi
I’ve just had a letter detailing the results of my angiogram and confused with the terminology.
Can anyone explain the term ‘tight’ as in tight proximal disease. I have had two stents fitted 17 years ago and this appears to be following the area of one of the stent s in the LAD

Have you had an endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage? Request for help from National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE)
Bile is a fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gall bladder that aids in the digestion of fats. Biliary obstruction is when the channels carrying bile from the liver and gall bladder into the small intestine (bile ducts) become blocked, and is most commonly caused by tumours or gallstones. This

Anxiety Struggle
Good morning, well here goes another day. As soon as I wake up I think I can hear my heart pounding and just seem anxious all day. I was taken off Citalopram back in March following a heart event (not a heart attack but diagnosed with CAD with a narrowing in my LAD, no stent needed at the moment). I
