Long term medication effects
Hi all. Perhaps one or two of you out there are able to advise from your own experiences. I had a quadruple heart bypass in December last year, so I'm now almost six months post-op. As does everybody who goes through this situation, I have been put on medication, as prescribed by my cardiologist. Just

Buzzing!!
OMG OMG! I've just completed W5R2 - two 8 min runs. I am absolutely buzzing!! This time last year, I was still recovering from a double heart bypass after having had a completely unexpected heart attack in Dec 20. And now I'm running and, more importantly, enjoying it! I did have a small emotional moment

Oh My God 😯 Three dazed and confused Cardiologists.
Some not so junior heart specialists just admitted they don't know what to do with me. An angiogram showed a narrowing of the Lateral Anterior Descending coronary artery that's near two smaller branches. I've unsucessfully tried three vasodialating medications but can't tolerate them due to constant

Recent echo after A/F diagnosis
Had a 3X CABG 19 years ago ( I'm 69 now) and just 3 months back had a bout of A/F which was treated with the usual Bisoprolol and Warfarin (bad reaction to Apixaban so that was a no go). Had the echo 3 weeks ago and was given the results yesterday - valves working well but Ejection fraction down to 40

Chloresterol drug, clinical trial.
I have been contacted by my GP asking if I would like to participate in a trial of a drug to lower chloresterol. My history is that I had high chloresterol 25 years ago which resulted in blocked arteries and necessitated a heart bypass surgery. I also had a mild heart attack 6 years ago but no reason

Post CABG and butterflies
I've always had an interest in butterflies (lepidoptera) but life got in the way over the years and my hobby fell by the wayside - like a lot of us I suppose. While I've been off work recovering from a CABGx3 in February this year I found six little caterpillars on a kale-type plant near one of my

A couple of personal anniversarys one biggish and one huge.
Twelve months ago I was moved from Shrewsbury cardiac ward to Wolverhampton so that I could be given a angiogram, so I smoked my last cigarette exactly 365 days ago to the minute, I stubbed it out and got into the ambulance at 09.00, and I was not allowed outside of new cross for another eight days.

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.

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

poisoned by statins
I have now come to the conclusion that instead of getting the correct treatment for my heart problem I have been given a higher dosage of statins that is causing me more harm. I believe that my diagnosis should be treated with a stent or a bypass. I have three siblings , two have had heart attacks and

Searching for B12
I’m a

patient, 13 years post surgery and have never had B12 therapy despite this being in the post surgery guidelines. I’ve had an eventful post surgery experience which included a further bowel resection in 2017.

Original arteries and CABG
Hi all. So im wondering what happens to the arteries that have been bypassed. I know they are still there, but are they functioning still? Or do they just dry up or something? I've Googled but cant find any answer. Thanks
