😴 Online course to retrain mind & body to improve sleep
Hi everyone. Just sharing this link as we have previously discussed problems sleeping post CABG. Its an online course to retrain yourself to sleep and I was referred by my GP after discussing with her difficulties sleeping. Have started to keep sleep diary for 7 days... if you have not come across this

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

Bypass follow up.
I had a quadruple heart bypass on December 24th 2019, I had my 6 week check up early February 2020 with no problems...now 13 months since op...heard nothing from anyone (not even my own GP)... I do feel good with no big problems (just sometimes a little tender towards the bottom of my scar). Is there

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.

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

Extreme fatigue
Hi all :) Oh it's so lovely and comforting to hear words of positivity from.people in the same boat ♥️ My dad had very unexpected quadruple heart bypass surgery on 22nd. He's now home and staying with my sister. He's usually a very active 62 year old and is very very down in the dumps and extremely fatigued

Why I need to have a heart attack !!!
What a terrible thing to have to write but sadly it is true. Please let me explain. On 4th December I was scheduled to have triple heart bypass surgery but the procedure was postponed just before I was due to be taken into theatre. I would add that the operation was due to be undertaken at a private

Long recovery
Hi, I’m new here. I’m still struggling after bypass surgery 14 months ago. A lot of chest pain and ankle still a bit swollen. I expected to be back to normal by now and don’t understand why I’m not. Have some ok days but still not able to pick up grandchild or run. Anyone else out there had this problem

Merry Xmas from within the NHS
I have been waiting for heart surgery since the beginning of the pandemic Two days before Xmas I have two heart attacks - seems that’s the way to speed things up. Xmas dinner was courtesy of the NHS - I have eaten worse however Santa did come and each of us ladies on the ward received a gift. I will

Positive Attitude
Hello I just wrote this in response to a question on another thread thought it may be useful on here !! What changes did you make after a heart Attack in 1982 ?? Well I stopped Smoking, Lost a few pounds but also gained a few £s with not smoking !! I think to some extent it was the positive attitude
