Heart attack I didn’t know about?
I’ve just come back from seeing my cardiologist who said I’m doing pretty well following my quadruple CABG 6 weeks ago but wants me to do some stress tests because I’ve used my gtn a couple of time since. The big thing is now we had time to chat as my surgery was pushed through really quickly following

Doing the Plank post CABG?
hi i am 6 months post quad CABG and in a good place fitness wise. i want to do some more core exercises so was thinking of the plank which I did pre-op. Question, when just lying on my front on a hard carpeted floor I can still feel pain in the centre of my chest which I understand is normal.

2 Years Ago:
2 years ago, I had enjoyed a successful CABG x 3 & a New/ Rebuilt Aorta courtesy of an 11 1/2 hour op. It transpires that was the easy part! 2 years last night I was to suffer stroke, sepsis & a virus that chewed away at my upper lip. My throat became totally blocked, requiring a tracheotomy and I

Adrenal gland mass and a whole lot of other stuff (falling to bits)
I also have diabetes type 2,
coronary
artery disease (stent &
angioplasty
) and I have non alcoholic fatty liver disease. Then I have fibromyalgia too. I feel awful all the time, tired, sore and I am worried sick about it all. GP just makes referrals she can’t answer any questions.

Stent pain
Hi all So I have had two stents one in June 2021 and one in November 2021. Both were successful but I seem to be having pain I'm the stent sites now and again. It's not really bad pain but it's not nice either. It seems to be after I have a session on the alcohol although i cant be sure. Does anyone

Twinges in chest
Hi All, Just a quick question, had a stent fitted in October 2020 and all has been fine, last day or two been getting small twinges left of centre of chest, may be down to me lifting a couple of heavy items recently but wanted to just check if anyone else has experienced this? Thanks

Looking for travel insurance advice
I was lucky enough to discover that I required a stent before i suffered any heart damage, my clinician says there are no concerns about ongoing health issues, and i am minimal risk - where can i find fair travel insurance that acknowledges this? i was quoted £800 to cover me for a 2 month stay in australia

Soluble tablet shock
Hi all I have a problem swallowing tablets so I try to get soluble ones but not any more, I had no idea how much salt is in them. They are soluble and fizz because they are a bit like bicarbonate of soda 3 soluble co-codable or paracetamol is the equivalent to a tea spoon of salt and if you take the

Also hope I can

After CABG how long before blocking could reoccur?
Hi all. I had triple CABG almost 4 months ago and im fine, getting good exercise. I have no problems but feel bit bad for not eating as well as i could all the time. Most of time im good, but not perfect. My question is how quick could arteries clog up again if you dont get your butt in gear? Thanks

Indigestion after Heart Attack
I had my heart attack last year. One stent. Now experiencing right chest pain sometimes in the evening. I often think I am having another heart attack but after going to casualty I realise it is indigestion. I have never suffered with this prior to the heart attack. The pain is bad. It can be difficult

Heart Failure post CABG, collaterals
CABG is supposed to help us but i see most of us having heart failure post CABG. I knew that collaterals that we develop are like natural bypass and it protects us but in spite, of that I went for CABG and i have heart failure ever since. I regret that I did not take multiple opinions. Wanted to hear

Stamina and keeping vertical all day !
Hi - I'm 5 months post CABG, I returned to work 4 weeks ago in school- it was difficult mentally the first few days but that's improved. I still can't manage a whole day without needing to be horizontal for at least half an hour, not necessarily napping. I'm on my feet most of the day or sitting at my

Not right after stent
Morning all does anybody feel worse after having a stent? I know I got severe coronary artery disease/angina but I felt pretty ok before I had this procedure and diagnosis, my heart feels like its aching all the time and I cant do much, before I was working full time at the gym 3 times a week.

Clopidogrel and vision
Hi everyone I hope you are managing to stay cool in this heat. I am hoping to come off my Clopidogrel in September, which will be 12 months since CABG. Since I have been taking this my vision has definitely got worse. As a diabetic of 36 years I have to look after my eyes, but they have definitely deteriorated
