Good morning All My husband has had valve replacement plus triple bypass years ago, HA and stent inserted 2 years ago. This week he has been admitted to hospital with an inflamed gall bladder. He's on morphine IV antibiotics and drip for hydration. He is in terrible pain but the hospital says

HANGING UP MY SPIKES.
Well as you can tell I am leaving Health Unlocked (MaleCare) since regrettably my red carpet is frayed and threadbare. It’s ironic I am abandoning the ship just as The Constitution of Medical Knowledge is being implemented in dear old Health Unlocked. This implementation has nothing with me abandoning

27 years off dialysis
In 1995 almost died from meningococcal sepsis. Was hospitalised over 6 months requiring wound care, debridement, skin grafts, amputations of fingers and toes. The resulting kidney damage classified as meningococcal Waterhouse Fridericksen syndrome. The treatment was dialysis to remove the bacteria

Long term medication effects
Hi all. Perhaps one or two of you out there are able to advise from your own experiences. I had a quadruple heart bypass in December last year, so I'm now almost six months post-op. As does everybody who goes through this situation, I have been put on medication, as prescribed by my cardiologist. Just

Buzzing!!
OMG OMG! I've just completed W5R2 - two 8 min runs. I am absolutely buzzing!! This time last year, I was still recovering from a double heart bypass after having had a completely unexpected heart attack in Dec 20. And now I'm running and, more importantly, enjoying it! I did have a small emotional moment

First real night sweat
Hi All, I have just had my first introduction to a medium night sweat, having been diagnosed in June 2018. Being an 'Olympic Class Worrier', I am off course panicking. Can anyone enlighten me as to what this means in real terms. Should I wait until my next Hemo Check up, before I mention this to my

Very cold with chest pain.
I'm in Australia, we are mid winter, sorry for all those struggling with the heat. Yesterday, I had chest pain and was extremely cold, I used my spray a couple of times and it settled. It just took me off guard, I wasn't exercising. I had my last stent end of February. It is unusual for me to

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

Oh My God 😯 Three dazed and confused Cardiologists.
Some not so junior heart specialists just admitted they don't know what to do with me. An angiogram showed a narrowing of the Lateral Anterior Descending coronary artery that's near two smaller branches. I've unsucessfully tried three vasodialating medications but can't tolerate them due to constant

Retained pacing wires
I understand most people having CABG or valve surgery these days have pacing wires connected in case of heart block or Afib after the Op. I have found out that in my case the wires were cut at skin level and retained. However I have read that retaining them in the body can cause problems later on there

Well that’s the 7th Angiogram complete
Well as promised here’s the update, just came up from the CAF lab an hour ago after procedure to see if needed another stent and ended up with another 3 😳, that totals 5 in my LAD in just over three years since my HA, hopefully will be a while now before in need anymore interventions. Also hope I can

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

Chloresterol drug, clinical trial.
I have been contacted by my GP asking if I would like to participate in a trial of a drug to lower chloresterol. My history is that I had high chloresterol 25 years ago which resulted in blocked arteries and necessitated a heart bypass surgery. I also had a mild heart attack 6 years ago but no reason
