Easing pain in sternum / breast bone when coughing and sneezing.
After I had had a Triple CABG Operation done, every time that I coughed, or sneezed, which I tend to do violently my sternum / breastbone / chest hurt a lot. It was not until a physiotherapist friend had told that hugging myself would make coughing and sneezing more comfortable , that it did not hurt

Hubby having cabg X4 on Thursday
Hubby had a very mild heart attack 2 weeks ago. Kept in hospital then after a week sent to a specialist hospital in Sheffield to have angioplasty and stents. They immediately kept him in Sheffield hospital and he's having a quadruple bypass this Thursday. Feeling so scared and although they are fantastic

Amlodipine Unwanted Side Effects
Several years ago, I was put on my first ever medication for High Blood Pressure, AMLODIPINE. One of the unwanted side-effects of it was abnormal chest pain on the left side of the chest. I even had to get a GP to check me out, but he said that there was nothing wrong. Eventually, my own GP phased

Bisoprolol Experience.
On the 4th of April, 2023, I had a Triple Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Operation. I was then prescribed Bisopralol 10mg, a day, including to help control my high blood pressure. That was despite my telling the hospital doctors that that might not be suitable, because Betablocker medicines like that

Pre op done
So im in for cabg x 4 on monday, just been to pre op appointment and am a little shocked as the nurse told me ill just be on paracetamol when i come around ? I thought morphine etc would be administered before I wake up. Kind of hoping the anasthesia is still doing its job upon waking ?

Health Update
So I had the mammogram and ultrasound. Imaging shows a 2cm lump stuck to the breast. The consultant says it is cancer and will be confirmed by the biopsy. Lucky it's caught early and doesn't look like it's spread to the lymph nodes. The plan is breast conservation therapy. A lumpectomy and radiotherapy

Got some cholesterol readings, I don’t quite understand them.
Hi all, I had a blood test this week for liver function and the results included a cholesterol read out. The GP surgery sent me a text to say all the readings were normal. Trouble is I’m 4 months or so post quadruple CABG following Nstemi heart attack in July, am I considered normal on the same scale

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

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

CABG and Memory loss
Hi, it's six week since my triple bypass. My scar is healing well and I'm slowly recovering from the surgery. Two things concern me, my legs are still painfully swollen and causing discomfort the other is my short term memory is shot, I'd laugh at my forgetfulness but I'm beginning to find it scary.

post cabg tiredness
This year after my surgery l was dragging myself around tired first blaming the high dose metoprolol and that got reduced somewhat but it turned out l was iron deficient. I had 3months of iron pills and it improved slightly. Then l stopped taking them because they gave me diarrhoea and it dropped again

Leg Problems after CABG / Saphenous Vein Harvested
Hi, I had a CABG x 3 about 18 months back (June 2022). During the ops my left saphenous vein was harvested. I had a stroke in the recovery room, however my question is to other folk that have had CABG and vein removal. Do you have any complications with your leg, loss of feeling, feeling heavy,

Aviva Critical illness , anyone claimed following heart attack & CABG ?
My wife and I took out a policy years ago , critical illness , it covers heart attacks and CABG. I’ve contacted the insurer and in the process of providing information regarding my heart attack. The policy was something we’d forgotten about after all the years. I wondered if anyone else has remembered
