Life Insurance Recommendation
Please can any members recommend a insurance company for life insurance. I'm a 50 year old male with no mortgage. I've had a heart condition since the age of two after receiving open heart surgery 1974 (Mustard Procedure) and in 2019 had a stent fitted to help blood circulation. Many Thanks, Paul

Dad has brain cancer, heart issues, and now PSA has increased. Concerned about medication complications..
Hello friends! It's been a long time since I've posted. It's hard to keep up with my dad's health on my end.. we've had so many close calls that his prostate cancer has felt like a bump on the head compared to all the rest of his concerns! So, to bring everyone up to speed as quickly as I can, dad

Post CABG and butterflies

Dental Implants
I had a heart attack back in June last year, had a stent fitted and have recently had a crt d fitted last month. My question is, my teeth are in tatters and I may need to consider implants... will this be possible?

LVDD (Left Ventricle Diastolic Dysfunction) - Diuretic/ARB
I am from India aged 51 yrs. I got my CABG done for single artery (LAD) 6 months back. Post surgery I developed breathlessness and could not walk out for two months. Though i consulted many doctors only one doctor gave me diuretic Torasemide 5mg and that helped me to walk as my breathlessness improved

Chest pain
First time posting on here. Can anyone tell me how long your chest hurts after CABG surgery? Had my op two weeks ago and progressing well with exercise, 2000 steps today, impatient to get back to normal but can’t get my lungs filled enough to improve my breathing.

Unexplained symptoms after Heart attack
I had a heart attack in Aug 2020. Was in Cath. lab within 1 hour where they did an angioplasty and found Right Coronary Artery completely occluded. After 2 attempts they mostly cleared the clots, and put me on Rivaroxaban, clopidogrel, aspirin, bisoprolol. They could not put a stent in for technical

struggling to understand why!
hi I’m really struggling coming to terms with having a heart attack 2yrs ago at the age of 43. I’m a woman and told at the time they don’t know what caused my artery to collapse. I had a stent fitted. everytime I have back pain. Sore pressure like feeling in my neck. I think it happening again. Then

issues 3 months after heart attack
My husband had a heart attack 3 months ago and a stent fitted. His recovery was going well but about 3 weeks ago he was getting really tired and no energy and had a couple of vasovagal episodes on exercise . These happened at cardio rehab and an ambulance was called and visit to a&e and they said it

Trial for efficiency of stents versus placebo
2 weeks post angiogram/ angioplasty for the orbita trial. Obviously i don't know at the moment whether I had a stent, but things looking good angina wise at the moment. Managed a couple of brisk walks this week without any angina pain, so hoping I was one of the percentage who got a stent. Bruise

Who do I contact?
my LAD is 90% blocked. They’re unable to stent. After a stress test in an MRI a member of my consultants team phoned. He asked if I had any symptoms, I said no. He asked if I was still taking all the medications after a stent was put in another artery. I said I was. He asked how I felt about that? I

Got the Second Opinion
And I am SO glad I did! In a prior post, I had told about events leading up to a cardiologist getting snippy with me because I questioned the need for an ablation. The more research I did the more convinced I became that my gut feeling was right and I set up an appt. with a different doctor. Monday

Bypass next week
Hi, I am going in for a CABG (sternotomy) in 9 days time, I had a double bypass via a midcab 5 years ago which didnt fully work so here we go again. On my previous op I was discharged with large dressings which I wore for a few weeks, but reading the paperwork I have been given it says I will be discharged

gout - aspirin?
hi. I’m 4 months post CABG x 2 and 6 months since a stent and going on all the meds including aspirin Clopidogrel ramipril bisoprolol Statins etc etc. I thought I’d got away without side effects but I’ve now had two severe gout attacks in the past month. Joints in my feet swell up with extreme pain and
