Heart bypass
Hi - I had a triple heart bypass 2 years ago and also have a 100% occluded cartoid artery. I am also in the over 70 age group (only just) but I do feel quite fit and go on my daily walk. . I feel particularly anxious during this pandemic as I am sure most people are. Am I being paranoid ?

Gastric Bypass and PBC
So has anyone else had
gastric
bypass
? I have PBC and I'm worried if it will affect it negatively or positively. Also does PBC affect the thyroid?

Looking for Practical Help
I have now had 4 heart attacks since 2015, started at the age of 31 and a double cabg in May 2019. Since the cabg was done I have been even more ill, their last throw of the dice didn't work and I am now at 36 received palliative care for advanced heart failure. The thing I am struggling with is practical

chest pains after a bypass
Hi, I've had a bypass surgery over 5 months ago and now whilst i'm walking briskly i tend to struggle with chest and throat pains as well as short of breath, this only happens if i walk briskly. All goes away after i take a breather for a minute or so. When i'm walking at a steady pace i have no issues

Getting back up again, sometimes it’s an effort
So last week I had 4 more Stents fitted, giving me a total of 15. 6 years ago I had a quad CABG, been living with heart issues for 20yrs. I’d finally got myself fit again, sub 30 min Parkrun, 50k trail run completed last year and managing to go running for long distances. Didn’t expect to have another

Slow heart rate
Has anyone suddenly had a slow heart rate? I had cabg x 4 in April 2019- been well since but my resting heart rate now 54ish. NHS website says +60 should be norm. Docs have reduced bisoprolol but not making any difference. Feel tired with it.

Painkillers post CABG
Hi. At 16 weeks post CABG am still finding I need to take 6-8 paracetamol a day for chest pain and upper body aches and pains. Is this the norm to other people's experiences? Thanks

Getting the weight off my chest...
Yes, I was rather pleased with that one (post title). This post is about the cathartic effect of writing things down. Over the last 12 weeks, I have slowly pieced together an account of what has happened to me to share. Writing has been therapeutic for me and maybe it can help someone else. I plan to

A question for the women...re: bras
Apparently not as many women as men have heart attacks and certainly many don't survive partly because our symptoms are different to mens. But for those of us who made it through a heart attack and quadruple heart bypass, I have a question ('cos I sure as hell 'aint getting the answers I need from a

Can't get heart rate up
Hi, again. I have managed to get my home Cardio Rehab going and a routine that works except maybe it doesn't. It's 10 weeks since my quadruple heart bypass and for several weeks now I have been doing Leslie Sansone's Walk at Home for a Healthy Heart in the morning and then walking around the woodland

Quintuple Bypass Surgery 14 months on
It's now 14 months since my quintuple bypass surgery and I wanted to briefly share my experience. To hear that I needed CABGx5 was a shock to say the least - I was a reasonably fit 52 year old male who only new that I had a problem because I felt 'discomfort' in my chest during my 3 or 4 30 minute jogs

Coronavirus gov message
Just received gov_uk SMS telling me to stay indoors for 12w because of “my condition” I am 68, had my spleen removed in 1975 and a heart bypass in 2008. Rang my surgery and nurse came back to me saying it’s probably because of my past operations as above. Does anyone know if this is correct? I can’t

What causes sudden intake of breath?
What causes a sudden intake of breath? A couple of years ago I started to suffer with a sudden sharp intake of breath. Basically I would be breathing normally and then suddenly take an uncontrolled sharp deep breath. I asked my cardiologist about this but he just said it was nothing to worry about. However

Antihistamines and high blood pressure medication
Have suffered high blood pressure for many years and take Enalapril. Last year had a heart bypass so end up with a few more pills to take but find I am not allowed any cold remedies. Now I discover that I may suffer from Hay Fever - can I safely take anything to relieve the symptoms?
