CABG Lungs?
I am 8 weeks out from triple CABG and my lungs still are not giving me full breaths. When I breathe I can't take a full breath without some discomfort and when I walk up hills I have a hard time taking full breaths because it causes coughing. Can anyone normalize this for me? I understand that being

Isosobride mononitrate
Had cabg x 3 2 years ago. 1 yr later discovered a problem with a 4th artery. Too narrow to stent. Given Ranexa to control angina type episode. Worked for about a year although I’ve been having hearing problems so when I had another episode didn’t want to increase it so meds changed to the isosobride

Running post sciatica
Hi All, I took up running after my CABG to help keep fit 2 years ago but I had a really bad bout of sciatica in Sept that completely stopped me in my tracks. I'm just getting to the point where I can walk 5K and am hoping I can start running again, leg and back permitting. Has anyone else been in a

Breathing and Coughing post CABG
I need a little help from my HealthUnlocked friends. I'm 5 weeks post CABGx3 and still experiencing both a lot of breathlessness and intermittent coughing. When I try to breath too deeply I begin to cough ... very uncomfortable. What is your experience of recovering from breathlessness? What breathing

COVID Advice please
My company wants us to be in the office 3times a week But My spouse is about to go in for a Bypass surgery. During his recovery is it safe for me to travel to work? I want to ask my company to allow me to continue to work from home but I do not want to be unreasonable. Any advice will be much appreciated

Safe to take supplements?
Hi, With all the meds I'm taking in first year after triple CABG is it safe to take supplements (namely Vitamin D / zinc in winter months)? Or will I be overwhelming my liver? Thanks

Sternum Clicking post CABG
I am experiencing Sternum Clicking post CABG. Now 4 weeks since surgery and I’ve had minor clicking for about 2-weeks. Like 4-6 clicks or pops per day, mostly later in the day when I’m tired. Have you experienced this and how long does it take to heal? Thanks so much. It’s a bit disturbing 🙃

Iron Tablets
After my bypass surgery I was somewhat anaemic. This righted itself in around six weeks. After my amputation I was again anaemic. Running a serious infection I was not paying to much attention as my medication was tweaked. Anyway nearly a year later I was still on them but found out they had been prescribed

4 weeks post cabg and back in hospital.
Hi everyone it's been 4 weeks since my double bypass. I've been having breathing issues and yesterday Dr's asked me to go to hospital as fluid on my left lung. Dr's have just done ward rounds and my left lung is full of fluid. I could either have a needle put in but it would only drain 1 1/2 litres so
