Angina
Hi all, Can I ask what your angina pains you get, as I am having different pains recently like electric shock to the heart they only last for a second, the other night I had about 8, I took gtn and the pain did go eventually. My doctor at the hospital said that shooting pains are not a symptom of angina

Friendship - an odd one
I had a private
gastric
bypass
to help me lose 15 stone which I saw as saving my life as I was pushing 27 stone and had very little quality of life. I haven't had any plastic surgery for example even though have terrible excess skin on my stomach and thighs.

Chest pain
Chest pain I am almost 12 months post bypass surgery and my chest feels like it was yesterday??? Could this be the cold weather as I have recovered really well??? Anyone else find the cold weather a pain?

Kidney failure
Having had Roux-en-Y
gastric
bypass
I’m on a high protein diet, I guess with kidney disease my diet will be the complete opposite. Is there anything that can be done to lower creatinine levels?

Reduction in blood thinners
My Mam had a double heart bypass in July 2019 after CA and many HAs over a 6 year period. Her body just didnt like her stents! She has recovered well and is doing more more than I've seen her do in years, which is great. She has had her blood thinners removed from her med list, however is still on aspirin

I would like to apologise for my last post.
Driven completely by frustration, shortly after Christmas I posted that, such was the focus on COVID 19, in both the NHS and the private sector, the only way I was going to receive the bypass surgery I required was if I had a heart attack. It was an immature and insensitive post and one that I regretted

Covid vaccine list
If I have previously had a quintuple heart bypass where do I sit on the nhs rollout list for the COVID vaccine?. I have been diagnosed with coronary heart disease.

Bypass surgery
New to this forum. I had a heart attack 7 months ago, triple bypass a week later. I’m interested to hear from people that have experienced similar and how they are recovering, set backs, how you are feeling? Any symptoms you might have or if you are fully recovered. Thanks

32 years old, PCOS, gastric bypass, lost 16 stone to concieve
Lost 16 stone after
gastric
bypass
to help me concieve. I went from having no periods for years after tipping 30 stone on the scale. I am now much healthier and my periods are more or less very on point. I am still not having much luck with conceiving. Anyone else in the same or similar boat to me?

Hi everyone . I had a HA on dec 1st , ambulance to hospital ,blood tests showed i had a HA, was put on cardio ward and a few days later had angiogram. Drs decided the best option was for bypass surgery. I was sent home after 10 days as even though at high risk of another HA they said it was safer to

Tingling arms and hands
Morning all Hope everyone has had a good Christmas weekend? It’s nice to have time off to relax from work. 🤗 Sorry for the long post. I tapered off steroids 6 weeks ago after 2 years and the side effects have stopped me sleeping, sent my blood sugar levels high, and the fatigue was incredible. Blood

Infection harvest site. Diabetic
Hi there all :) My dad is 21 days post quadruple bypass surgery. He is doing fairly well however we thought his harvest site (leg) may be infected a few days ago. It is now day 4 of the antibiotics and the wound seems to be worsening. He is diabetic and often has difficulty with wounds not healing as

Supporting a family member
Hello, My first go at this. I've joined to see how families support someone with HF? Just before xmas, Dad had a Stemi and 2 stents fitted immediately although now has heart failure. He's getting better but I'm a nervous wreck all of the time. I've just got over 6 years of mam having heart attacks and

Pain in stomach after running
I could google it but I’d probably read that I’d need a triple heart bypass or something... the last two times I’ve been running, after an hour or two, I seem to get a pain in my stomach on the left hand side, which lasts into the night. I was just wondering if anyone had experienced similar or if anyone

It's exactly a year since my quadruple heart bypass...what a year!
I haven't posted apart from the odd reply for quite some time but now I've reached a milestone, 1 year since my operation which is also pretty much 1 year in lockdown. When I left hospital it was barely 2 weeks before we went into national lockdown and from that point onward there were just 4 weeks in
