Life Insurance
Hi all, so some of you may know that age 44 I had an angiogram after narrowing of my arteries were detected on a CT Angiogram. Was found to have a 90% blockage in my LAD artery so had one stent fitted. Was told that there is furring in other arteries but cardiologist didn’t stent any other and didn’t

So back to hospital, a cardio CT booked and a new pill to add to the multitude I already have with my

Travel insurance
Hey everyone, does anyone have experience of travel insurance post CABG? Is it easy/cheap to get? I had a 4-way.. I also had a nephrectomy but I'm less concerned about that as an ongoing health concern Cheers!

Strange feeling in my chest, could it be Angina.
Sorry for the long post, but here goes. It is now almost 6 months since my heart attack and subsequent CABG x 6. Before my heart attack I felt healthy and presented no symptoms. I am recovering well after been diagnosed with acute CHD and am feeling so much stronger apart from niggles around the sternum

Returning to work
Hi all.. I had a heart attack just after Christmas and a day later had a stent fitted. The heart attack I think was several before I got to hospital. After a week I was discharged with a bag of medication. I am a single dad with a 12 year old son. I’m not young though and I have no help. I felt very

Chest pains 6 months after HA and triple CABG
I’m 6 months post CABG and HA. I’ve not had any twinges or chest pains for a few months until today. Both left and right side of chest. My recovery has been surprisingly unremarkable and I’m fit and well. I’ve taken some paracetamol which has eased the pains but it’s frightened me a bit. I’m not a panicker

Transferred from Harefield following stent fitting and mild stroke to Mount Vernon North London ( Boris constituency ) for a few weeks of rehab. Half vision still and both left leg and arm much weaker. Amazing staff here who push you to regain both muscle strength and confidence. Finally i must apologise

What is “normal “ tiredness
My 83 year old dad had stent inserted 11days ago Also has pneumonia which is easing But he is so extremely fatigued-despite having a good 10 hours sleep each night he falls asleep at the drop of a hat through the day Is this to be expected at this early stage ? I think it is but he’s anxious over

Insurance Renewal Costs
Hello everyone. I had a x4 CABG in June this year and am recovering very well (touch wood). I'm a seasonal ski instructor and regularly work in the Alps (Austria, Italy and Switzerland). I have professional insurance cover whilst teaching but that only covers part of the day. The rest of the day

Thank you.
Just wanted to thank everyone who gave help and reassurance in my recent post about my husband who, at the age of only 40 and previously fit and well on every way, shape and form, was admitted with ?unstable angina 7 days ago. Well. Today he underwent the angiogram which showed two arteries were blocked

Shortness of breath post CABG
Good Morning, I really need some advice. My mum had Quadrupled last December. Over the past 3 weeks she has been experiencing shortness of breath and some pain over shoulder, neck and arm. It's not the angina pain she was getting pre surgery and only experienced some tightness around the chest area when

But several of the kids and teacher in my sons class have tested positive for covid in past week…. We’re (still!) negative. Is it a terrible thing to get covid if 47 and severely blocked LAD
