Why Do I pain in my left ribs?
I would like to thank the BHF Nurse that actually took the bother to call me after I emailed for help and advice, she was very empathetic and gave me good advice about keeping a record of my blood pressure’s and taking it in the morning when I get up after I’ve pottered about but before any medication

heart bypass
just wondering how long people’s heart bypasses have lasted? I had a double bypass twenty one years ago and a stent fitted three years ago, all seems well up to now.

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

Burning feet after heart bypass
It's a few weeks since heart bypass operation for my husband. His feet are fine during the day, but at night he gets burning sensation in his feet (ankles and toes). What can this be?

After bypass Surgery
My husband had bypass surgery in November 2022. The process was successful but sadly they damaged his ulna nerve and he lost use of his right hand and has had severe nerve pain in the right arm. We are wondering how common nerve damage is following bypass surgery and whether other people have experienced

Insulin working differently after cabg
Hi I've had a cabg x4. Before surgery my diabetes was stable using both a slow release and a fast acting insulin. Since the operation the insulin is reacting more strongly to the same foods & I can't seem get a balance without dropping - and whichever medics I ask they have no knowledge of this. I

Puzzling symptoms while exercising beyond 20 minutes!
Hi everyone, I am a 42 year old man, always very slim and active, non-smoker, hoping to get your opinions about some puzzling symptoms I have been experiencing while doing moderate exercise (jogging fairly leisurely on treadmill). These manifest as a kind of unsteady, mildly dizzy "need-to-stop" kind

parathyroid blood test!
Hi all I had a yearly health assessment yesterday at my GPS (my first one ever!) I didn’t know I was having a blood test so took my thyroxine and Thorns B right! She’s testing my TSH and full blood panel! Anyway I told her I had a gastric band and she said I need PTH blood test due to lack of vitamin

I want to feel normal again
I had a CABG X 3. 5 months ago was hoping to feel at least a bit better by now but just feel worse. The cardiologist has said the way I’m feeling is nothing to do with the surgery. My chest pain is gone but I’m breathless and unable to walk far. I could walk farther a few weeks ago than I can now. I

Calling all patients who have had a heart valve surgery or a TAVI
Hello lovely ones! Some of you may know me already - I had a 2x CABG last Jan, aged 34. Well today is my 36th birthday! I am happy and healthy :D The reason I am posting is that I am hopefully moving in to the world of cardio industry, I was previously in clinical nutrition and artifical feeding.

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

I’ve made a year.
Hi all, well yesterday the 17th was my first birthday, 1 year since my quadruple CABG. There has been ups and downs and there still is, but I’m still here and that’s the main thing as I should never have survived the first HT according to the surgeon and other cardiologist’s. I just hope it doesn’t go

Heart Medication
Hi I’m waiting for a heart bypass I’ve got pre op in April I’m wondering if after surgery do you need to stay on Angina tablets for life or do they stop after surgery. Thank you hope you are as well as can be Sharon.

The old vegan vs other nutritional diet comparison persists
I have been following a strict vegan diet program since 2015. I began to hopefully slow or reverse my diagnosed heart disease. Did the conversion help with either? Who knows? It is, I believe, not something that can be definitely proven. But, I believe it has helped, so I’m content with the change. But

Update on CABG
Good morning everyone. Finally getting to see Cardiologist on tuesday after my referral for the surgery was overlooked. I was in hospital again two days ago, basically sitting at home, felt nausea kick in and my resting heart rate went up to 168bpm and blood pressure 153/102 😒 . Usual scenario in A

Depression ?
5 years now since bypass surgery, and my depression (if that's what it is) is getting worse. Nothing ever phased me before CABG, but now... I find myself crying at something sad on tv. I find myself crying at something happy on tv ! I find myself crying in a restaurant or pub, for no apparent reason
