Weak voice
My husband had a quadruple heart bypass 8 weeks ago. He is making a steady recovery and can now walk up and down gentle hills for 45 minutes each day. However he is often very tired and has to have a couple of naps lying on his bed each day. What we both find strange is that his voice has changed since

Bed goes up, bed goes down!
Having just got Disney+ 'for the kids' just watched The Simpsons episode where Homer has a heart bypass, 'Bed goes up, bed goes down' ššš! If nothing else, watching Homer is helping me stick to my diet while we can't go out š!

Sleeping 12 weeks after CABG x 4
For the last four nights I have really struggled to get to sleep and felt unwell during the day. My husband says I do sleep for much of the night but I can't get comfortable when going to bed. I feel itchy all over, my nightwear rides up and I rearrange my pillows. I feel cold and shivery and most distressing

Is Swelling at top of sternum 3 months after CABG x 3 normal?
My fiancĆ© had his CABG x 3 just over 3 months ago and the ālumpā at the top of his sternum incision is still as prominent as it was immediately after surgery, heās also got irritation around this area (slight redness and dry skin.) Does this sound normal as we thought the swelling would go down quicker

Need help/resources to do Cardio Rehab at home
I am 48 years and was a seemingly healthy full-time professional travelling frequently, with a daughter at school and another at Uni, before I found out I needed surgery, just a week before I had it! I had a quadruple heart bypass just over 7 weeks ago and I won't be able to go for Cardio Rehab because

Look After Yourself. Personal View
I think what is going on is a Logistics Nightmare , and a Inter Generational Failure It is obvious that what we all assumed to be the computer age is not exactly what it is cracked up to be !!

Coronavirus
I had triple heart bypass 8 years ago and am now fit and active. I have to take medication for the rest of my life. Do I need to shield myself for 12 weeks ? The advice is confusing and I havenāt received a letter from the nhs yet. I work in food distribution in a large warehouse with 500 odd colleagues

In extremely vulnerable group but don't understand why
On Monday I got a text, followed by a letter, informing me that I have been identified as someone at risk of severe illness and thereby extremely vulnerable if I were to catch coronavirus. Instructions are not to leave home, even for food and meds, and stay away from others indoors. There is a list of

Dad's Post Heart Bypass Recovery Update & Advice Please :D
Hi All, I posted last week regarding my Dad's post surgery experience (Titled: Dad's 5 Days Post Triple Heart Bypass Surgery). All's going well on the recovery front - Dad was in ICU for 5 days, as they waited for his Oxygen Levels to stabilise accordingly, then 3 days up on the general ward, before

Message For Boris
Hi Boris Just to let you know You will never forget the Names of the Nurses who cared for you. I am almost 5 years post CABG and I can still picture Kerri Ann a young Australian CC Nurse who looked after me when I was rather poorly after the operation. Every time I came round Kerri Ann was there taking

It breaks my heart
My parents are in their 70's and we've all discussed me going to stop with them for a period of time. They both have underlying health issues. My Dad is diabetic and has a pacemaker and my mum has had heart bypass surgery. Having an MPN I also have lower white cells, but am in very good health. I'm so
