Symptoms a year after CABG, 20 months after Heart Attack.
I would be interested in the experiences of others relating to the aftermath of CABG surgery. Potted history: From around summer 2017 when aged 60, I started to feel a mild tingling and "tight" sensation sometimes under my left ribs, sometimes in my back around the same height. It continued on and

Does the anxiety ever go away?
Hello everyone, I hope you are having a good weekend. It is now nearly 12 months since I had my heart attack and my CABG x 4. . The road has been bumpy since then. What with challenges with changing medications and wondering if each twinge or slight pain is another heart attack. The main problem I seem

PPI’s and self injecting
I’m a
gastric
bypass
patient so my PA is man made not autoimmune and I take omeprazole daily. I’ve been SI for a month now and although the results have been amazing, I’m not where I want to be and wonder if I need to continue at a high frequency because of the effects of PPI’s. Thanks x

Heart attack I didn’t know about?
I’ve just come back from seeing my cardiologist who said I’m doing pretty well following my quadruple CABG 6 weeks ago but wants me to do some stress tests because I’ve used my gtn a couple of time since. The big thing is now we had time to chat as my surgery was pushed through really quickly following

Doing the Plank post CABG?
hi i am 6 months post quad CABG and in a good place fitness wise. i want to do some more core exercises so was thinking of the plank which I did pre-op. Question, when just lying on my front on a hard carpeted floor I can still feel pain in the centre of my chest which I understand is normal.

2 Years Ago:
2 years ago, I had enjoyed a successful CABG x 3 & a New/ Rebuilt Aorta courtesy of an 11 1/2 hour op. It transpires that was the easy part! 2 years last night I was to suffer stroke, sepsis & a virus that chewed away at my upper lip. My throat became totally blocked, requiring a tracheotomy and I

Stopping Smoking
I am so proud of getting to a year+ since stopping smoking. Yes it took a heart attack and a triple heart bypass to give me the 'motivation'. I cannot believe I have no cravings whatsoever, ending a whole day fast and not being bothered about not having a cigarette, simply astonishing to my old self

Soluble tablet shock
Hi all I have a problem swallowing tablets so I try to get soluble ones but not any more, I had no idea how much salt is in them. They are soluble and fizz because they are a bit like bicarbonate of soda 3 soluble co-codable or paracetamol is the equivalent to a tea spoon of salt and if you take the

After CABG how long before blocking could reoccur?
Hi all. I had triple CABG almost 4 months ago and im fine, getting good exercise. I have no problems but feel bit bad for not eating as well as i could all the time. Most of time im good, but not perfect. My question is how quick could arteries clog up again if you dont get your butt in gear? Thanks

Exiting A Forum
Howdy all. Hope you're all tickety boo. Just a quicky. I joined the BHF forum recently to see if I could get help, support and info from there about the mitral valve stuff but Ive been shocked at seeing some of the venomous responses some peeps have had to, what I consider, legitimate questions. One

Heart Failure post CABG, collaterals
CABG is supposed to help us but i see most of us having heart failure post CABG. I knew that collaterals that we develop are like natural bypass and it protects us but in spite, of that I went for CABG and i have heart failure ever since. I regret that I did not take multiple opinions. Wanted to hear

Stamina and keeping vertical all day !
Hi - I'm 5 months post CABG, I returned to work 4 weeks ago in school- it was difficult mentally the first few days but that's improved. I still can't manage a whole day without needing to be horizontal for at least half an hour, not necessarily napping. I'm on my feet most of the day or sitting at my

Clopidogrel and vision
Hi everyone I hope you are managing to stay cool in this heat. I am hoping to come off my Clopidogrel in September, which will be 12 months since CABG. Since I have been taking this my vision has definitely got worse. As a diabetic of 36 years I have to look after my eyes, but they have definitely deteriorated

Anyone experience Bile as a caustic?
The initial gastrologist told me that he normally sees bile reflux in
gastric
bypass
patients. I’ve had no such thing. I did have my gallbladder removed about 20 years ago. (Never any stones, but a gallbladder that was no longer functioning. Sick and diseased, I was told.)
