Triple Bypass
Long story short, which I guess is similar to others. I’m being scheduled for a CABG. Triple bypass by the looks of things. Initially, a bit scared. Worried about my future. The standard gamut of emotions which are swirling around my mind. I guess I have a couple of questions. What’s the surgery

7 Week Review after CABG
7 weeks since I had the CABG x 4... went in for a review with my consultant. Soooo glad I had read up on here, and had the Cardio Rehab assessment beforehand, and had made notes of the questions a needed answers too. It was brutally efficient - [i]yep your op was a success, you can do anything, and

CABG Scar By Zorro
Had a Cabg 18 wks ago and this left a sternum scar about five inches long.I think they use glue to close it rather than stitches and there was a dressing that stayed on for a few days. The scar was quite scary to begin with but i didn't give it much thought.Then as i got better and my thoughts turned

Insulin working differently after cabg
Hi I've had a cabg x4. Before surgery my diabetes was stable using both a slow release and a fast acting insulin. Since the operation the insulin is reacting more strongly to the same foods & I can't seem get a balance without dropping - and whichever medics I ask they have no knowledge of this. I

I want to feel normal again
I had a CABG X 3. 5 months ago was hoping to feel at least a bit better by now but just feel worse. The cardiologist has said the way I’m feeling is nothing to do with the surgery. My chest pain is gone but I’m breathless and unable to walk far. I could walk farther a few weeks ago than I can now. I

Calling all patients who have had a heart valve surgery or a TAVI
Hello lovely ones! Some of you may know me already - I had a 2x CABG last Jan, aged 34. Well today is my 36th birthday! I am happy and healthy :D The reason I am posting is that I am hopefully moving in to the world of cardio industry, I was previously in clinical nutrition and artifical feeding.

Heart Bypass Surgery
Hi All, I out of absolutely nowhere got told I had had a Heart Attack following what I thought would be a routine blood test and a day that started 5weeks ago to meet my friend in the pub for the usual Quiz night ended with me being told I had quite severe CAD and required an urgent triple CABG. Here

I’ve made a year.
Hi all, well yesterday the 17th was my first birthday, 1 year since my quadruple CABG. There has been ups and downs and there still is, but I’m still here and that’s the main thing as I should never have survived the first HT according to the surgeon and other cardiologist’s. I just hope it doesn’t go

Update on CABG
Good morning everyone. Finally getting to see Cardiologist on tuesday after my referral for the surgery was overlooked. I was in hospital again two days ago, basically sitting at home, felt nausea kick in and my resting heart rate went up to 168bpm and blood pressure 153/102 😒 . Usual scenario in A

Fast heart beat
I had a double cabg in late January and am recovering well with no complications. I saw my cardiologist a few weeks ago and asked him all the questions I had in relation to all the little things that are worrying me slightly. He said that everything I described was perfectly normal and natural, ( including

CABG recovery
Evening all, hope everyone is having a good day. Can I ask anyone who has had bypass surgery their experience of the level of pain when you come round ? I hear everything from virtually zero to the worst pain you can experience, some people saying that they wouldnt have gone through with the procedure

Fluid retention after CABG
Hey guys,I was wondering if anyone has suffered from long term water retention after having a CABG (quadruple)? The reason I ask is because my father has been taking 40mg of Furosemide for the past 10 years and his legs have been slowly getting worse. Any help/suggestions would be gratefully appreciated

Tachycardia
Rather a long post I’m afraid. In 2000 I was 44 and developed unstable angina over 4 months. My husband had BUPA with his work so I saw a cardiologist quickly, put on aspirin, Bisoprolol and GTN. The cardiologist was always unsure whether it was a blockage to my LAD or a spasm and I was due to undergo
