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

Can azathioprine cause chest pains?
Hi, I have been on azathioprine tablets mostly 75mg to 100mg for my Lupus for approximately 20 years. Have been experiencing chest pains on my left side especially after excretion. I had various tests and scans but they are all negative. I had Covid last September and had to stop taking the azathioprine

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

Waiting for CABG
I am a 63 year old female waiting for CABG x 2. Have been following posts for a few weeks now but have never been brave enough to introduce myself. I had a heart attack in 2018 followed by one stent. Family history of heart attacks. Attended cardiac rehab and have continued to follow advice to the letter

Chest pain and using the GTN spray
Hello. I am now 5 weeks in after a heart attack which came completely out of the blue and then angioplasty with aortic stent. I have had chest pain ever since which is generally mild but can get stronger (it can come on at anytime whether I am exercising or not and can last for an hour or more). It feels

Scared
I had a severe heart attack on Sunday 24thbkine 2024, I’m 33. This has stemmed from an undiagnosed hereditary condition. I have had a stent fitted less than 24 hours ago. I was discharged from hospital today. I feel like I’m grieving and I don’t know why. I’m crying so much on my own, I have a supportive

Angiogram
Good morning everyone firstpost. I have just had an angiogram I now have two narrowed arteries pressure wire test ok, the consultant was rushing between cath labs and said I have reversible ischemia?? Not sure what that means. I would have had a stent if pressure wire test failed. Any insights are welcome

coq10 use for statin muscle pain
Hi , wondering if anyone has experience with taking CoQ10 with a statin as well as blood thinner, specifically Plavix? Prior to having a stent placed in April, I was on a statin only and have read that you should take CoQ10. My cardiologist said take it or don’t take it it doesn’t really matter. It’s

10 weeks in, not feeling great
I am a 57 year old woman, and had an Nstemi 10 weeks ago, and one stent fitted. I am on 2.5 bisoprolol, tricagrelor, 10 of ramipril, 80 statins and also aspirin. My ejection fraction was poor at 45 (which I found a bit upsetting when it transpired I was the lowest in the rehab class) I was on HRT before

Short of breath.
Hi all, haven't posted for a long time but read posts most days. Had a HA and 1 stent fitted 3 years ago and on the usual tablets no problem. In the last 2 weeks when I am about to nod off I feel as if I'm going to stop breathing and wake up and it's very scary,and try to sleep with more pillows sitting
