Holiday
My wife deserves a holiday after the stress of putting up with me after my 2 operations this year. The first in February, a spinal decompression, expected, and the second in July, a triple heart bypass, totally unexpected. Problem is I’ve gone plant life because of the heart op and I’m struggling learning

Things I would have liked to know before my heart bypass. I hope some useful tips for others prior to their op. Or when recovering.
As a general point I think it would have been useful to have access to a ‘Heart Bypass Buddy/Partner’ system or perhaps just being made aware of this online community before the operation, i.e. being able to ask/email someone who had gone through the operation themselves and who could provide some practical

Back, neck, shoulder problems
Newbie here. CABG x 3 in March 19. On usual meds. Been recovering well and back exercising, jogging etc. Lots of walking, no breathlessness. Every couple of months I get occasional neck and shoulder, upper back stiffness and burning sensation rather than sharp pain. What would be causing this? Is

PRIVATE MEDICAL INSURANCE
Hi, my dad had a coronary artery bypass graft surgery this April. I have been looking for private medical insurance for him with little or no luck. I was told by all of them, including bupa whom I was told was the best, that they wont cover him for any pre-existing medical problems only new ones. Can

It never rains, it pours!☔️
I posted last week asking for some advice around a flare I was experiencing and thank you to those who responded. I’m sorry to be needy, but right now I need a virtual hug! Even on 10mgs of Pred the virus is still running its course and making the PMR symptoms worse than usual, so I have been trying

Statins - is it time for an independent review?
Brilliant paper which presents a very compelling view on the need for a fully independent review of the benefits of statins. As a patient with atherosclerosis diagnosed 15 years ago and then prescribed statins, following the need for a heart bypass I did my own research and stopped statins 5 years ago

Anxiety over life expectancy after Heart Bypass - how to cope?
Prior to my double heart bypass last year, I was told by the surgeon there was a 20% mortality rate after a bypass within 5 years. My operation was successful but this figure is preying on my thoughts... I’ve read about a long tracking study from Holland (I believe over 30 years) with a sizeable number

Juicing
I have had to switch to a meal replacement that is used for people who have
gastric
bypass
surgery that uses whey isolates rather than whey protein. The protein was not breaking down and I was getting no nutrition from it.

Anxiety 1 year after CABG
Hi I had a double CABG July 2018 when I was 50. Initially everything seemed fine afterwards and I had very little pain or discomfort. Since about February this year I have had more discomfort from my chest and left shoulder. Sometimes I can tell it is muscular but sometimes I have anxiety that it could

Threats to life & limb.
I have come to a number of times with the Parkinsons problems of my wife & you've all been very helpful. This morning her behaviour reached a new low. We have an 11 year old greyhound just recovering froma badly cut leg, that took £700 in vets bills. This morning my wife flew into one of her very frequent

VISIBLE VEIN AND ARTERY SIZE
Prior to my HA and subsequent bypass surgery last June whenever I went to the doctors for a blood test they would have some difficulty in accessing a vein. However, since the surgery I have noticed that all veins and arteries just below the skin are now quite visible (well not all of them!) and can

Can’t sleep 3 weeks after CABG x3
I’m finding it very difficult to get comfortable at night it’s making me feel very emotional, I hate night times. I have a recliner and also tried sleeping in bed but sleeping upright is wearing me out, if I try to sleep upright on my side my sternum clicks when I breathe. Is this normal. 😢

Is it possible CABG has cause a post op personality change
My husband had a triple bypass in May and he's not the same man. Angry, resentful (towards me), reclusive and quite nasty. Separation pending so would be glad of any feedback.

Shoulder Muscle Pain. Statins?
Feeling like both shoulders are pulling with some pretty slight movement. Taking Crestor and Zetia. Does anyone have any recommendations about dealing with the pain? I need the statins as I'm CABG x3 recently. Call is already into cardiologist.

Stent pain
Following recent cabg surgery I had further problems and a stent was put into one of the grafts 2 weeks ago. I continue to have chest pain so returned to A&E this week on advice of GP but the consultant is sure it’s stent pain. So why didn’t the cardiac consultant give me pain killers while I was in

Should I go back to consultant?
Thought I was really healthy. Regularly walked 5 miles and enjoyed cycling. Then went to the doctor feeling poorly. Had cabg surgery in May 2019 which obviously saved my life but wasn’t entirely successful. CTCA after cabg showed LAD had severe disease, circumflex had diffuse disease and RCA also had
