Pain, Pain and More Pain
I am usually pretty upbeat. After both my bypass and amputation I could see improvement if not on a daily basis definitely as the weeks passed. However 2021 has been much more of a struggle. In the background some will know I am having stump and housing issues. Since shortly after the amputation I have

bypass surgery
Hi, I’ve got my bypass surgery done on 1/12/2020 and it’s some heavy kind of feeling but it doesn’t hurt. I was just wondering if it’s normal or what to do about it. Please do let me know, Thank you.

Want to share experiences.
I had bypass surgery Mar 4th 5 arteries fixed far bigger than surgeon expected. I am having bad pain on the leg that was the donar. Plus having nerve electric feeling saps in both legs. Also had cellulitis on donar leg. Looking to see similar experiences of others. I feel like I am alone out here.

Friday telephone appointment with cardio rehabilitation ( I have never seen anyone since leaving cardiology ward, only phone calls) conversation as normal except I had been having isolated missed heartbeat events, maybe 3 or 4 ocassions

How long did it take you to recover after heart bypass surgery?
Hi everyone I had emergency heart bypass surgery about 14 weeks ago. I have spent the “classic” 12 weeks off work, focused on recovery etc. Eating and sleeping is fine, and more or less adjusted to meds ok now. I also do the BHF cardiac rehab level 4 a few times a week, and try to walk about 5 times

Researchers find 10-minute add-on heart surgery cuts stroke risk by one-third
As long as surgeons have a patient under anesthesia for one heart procedure, they may as well make it two—and according to a new study, the benefits in preventing future strokes could last a lifetime.

Heart Bypass
My partner had a quadruple bypass on the 12th March. He was home a week later, but since then he’s been having awful pain in his left shoulder and can’t sleep properly for it. Any suggestions?

Lifelong chest aches & pains?
Hi, I'm at 14months post heart bypass and have had, given the difficulties accessing post-op rehab due to Covid, a pretty good recovery. Working hard on my fitness and my diet etc. However, I still get a considerable amount of chest discomfort. Aches, pains, numbness and tightness. Nothing overly serious

Measuring pain
This is a question is for all the ladies who have had a heart bypass. I am frequently asked how painful the procedure was. Well I had my first child over 50 years ago ( not by Caesarian ) and if I could compare I would say child birth was by far the most painful. It is something still in my mind now

Heart attack (Stemi) and unable to stent because of ectatic Coronary artery
Last August I had a STEMI. A heart attack which resulted in the complete blockage of the Right coronary artery. When they looked via the angiogram/angioplasty they found that the artery was ectatic. That means apparently that it is not uniform in cross section , and not smooth in end to end shape. They

Post CABG recovery
Hello, I hope everyone is well. I have a couple of questions for anyone who has trod the post-cardiac surgery path before me. I had a CABG on the 5th March and I am very happy with my recovery so far; I am walking for exercise and increasing my distance - although I wish it would warm up a bit. I'm

Low Blood Pressure
Anyone any thoughts on this issue. Had Triple Cabg and valve Repair. Collapsed with BP of 84/48. In hospital three days. Now home but BP still quite low. Went dizzy a couple of days ago - BP 92/54. On the discharge letter they referred to “heart failure”. Anyone any experience of this. Thanks in advance
