Possible carotid artery problem discovered 3 weeks after double heart bypass surgery.
My hubby has been home for 2 weeks after his bypass surgery, and because of an ongoing vision problem, it's now suspected that his carotid artery also has blockage(s) and clots are happening. He's going to have an ultrasound urgently. Poor man, still very much recovering from surgery. Is this familiar

Post bypass surgery exercise
Hi guys So I'm 6 weeks post double bypass op. My cardio rehab team have referred me to the local gym. However, in hindsight I've decided it's not for me. I can't face going to the gym, come out in a sweat just thinking about it! I was just wondering do you have any recommendations for home fitness

Post cabg.2- 16wk recovery review
I recovered well, no issues, but my cardio was very slow, and this annoyed me because pre op i was quite fit.I didn't want the op and didn't believe i needed it.Plus i was scared.The surgeon wanted a four way and i definitely wasn't having that.I said i don't want it to to fail, not two years in or ten

Unsuitable for PCI or CABG
Hi, Just received a letter from my heart DR: confirming details of my last metting with her. one line I do not understand is:- Non-viable myocardium - unsitable for PCI or CABG, so what is PCI and CABG please.

Hi all. I suffer with Severe Spinal Stenosis. I’ve already had Laminectomy (Decompression) surgery which only worked for about 3 months the pain then returned. This has been going on for the last 5 years and, unfortunately, in the meantime I had to have a Triple Heart Bypass and Mitral Valve Repair

Pre diabetes post bypass surgery?
I had an alarming text from my GP surgery telling me the result of a blood test showed that I’m pre diabetic and that I could enroll onto a programme to improve my lifestyle! I was absolutely shocked . I contacted my GP surgery (using the irritating on line form /application for advice of doom 🤦🏼)

Dissected Aorta Type A
Hello, my father is a 78 year old man who has recently been diagnosed with a dissected aorta type A. He had quadruple heart bypass 11 years ago. In October 2023 he stopped taking his Furosemide- a stupid thing to do as it started off a rollercoaster of health problems, now resulting in this diagnosis

Morning all, I posted some results a while ago and followed the very wise advice I was given but as I still felt rubbish I got into my GP who was very helpful and ordered lots of tests for me. When I posted towards the end of last year I was struggling and my B12 was low, ferritin dire at 16 and some

”Novel” myocardial bridge surgery - article
Hello for anyone interested and / or with a MB, I came across the article below which offers up a “novel” approach to CABG surgery for extensive bridges (greater than 5mm deep I interpreted that as). this article suggests a bypass with the LIMA from the point of entry to the point of exit. There is

waiting times
hello, Just curious on how long some folk had to wait before they had bypass surgery. I’ve spoken to a couple of gentlemen, one has been waiting for nearly two years for his tripple bypass and the other waited a year and half for his quad bypass. I need a single, possibly double bypass, but waiting

Update on Dental Implant Surgery
A quick note to say that it all went well. I am currently on 3mg pred. The dental surgeon advised 10 mg the morning of the surgery. I was also given paracetamol and antibiotics. Tooth extracted, implant inserted with some bone graft. Not pleasant but it didn’t hurt at all. Followed the hygiene instructions

Blood test after x-ray
Despite having a lingering cough, my mum has had no other systems but decided to see the doctor. They suggested she have an x-ray. Anyway, they've asked her to have a blood test regarding her heart. Her cough seems to be getting better and she doesn't feel tired, had any chest pains or any other
