Tiredness
Since I've been hit by a coronary problem just over 2 months ago I've progressively felt more tired as each day passes. Is this usual? Can I expect this to improve after the scheduled CABG surgery?

DVLC
I’m wondering if being on a waiting list for bypass surgery is something that I should notify DVLC about? And will I now face even higher holiday travel insurance then because of age and other ailments.

Stent / bypass success stories.
Hi, I've been lucky enough to live for 54 years whilst enjoying excellent health except for 2 days. Unfortunately those 2 days were due to an acute coronary syndrome, stent and resulting heart disease diagnosis. Physically my recovery was very quick but mentally every little chest twinge still causes

Came home this afternoon 6 days post CABG having had three grafts. Pain killers doing their stuff. I'm trying to do mine, all the physio and excercises. Taking things easy and letting it build up. So many people to thank, including those on here that offered help and advice

Angiogram results
2 weeks ago my cardiologist thought the angiogram would show either no problem or a very minor problem. Yesterday it actually showed a blockage and several instances of narrowing. Oh dear! Subsequent heart scan showed no damage. This was good to hear. I was offered alternative approaches. The first,

LCHF 4 yrs
LCHF. Well that was pre April 2019. CABGx4. What now ? What does the research say about LCHF and risk of further occlusion or Afib or heart attack after and attack and CABG ? At least one definitive source from the Keto/LCHF world says my questions outpace the science. If you know anything do please

Thank you
Just had CABG x3 a month ago and wanted to thank this forum for getting me through it. I’m in California, United States but my mother is British and recommended the forum.

Thanks to all
Off down for my triple CABG early tomorrow morning. Wish me luck. I've been lurking in the background on here for several months. Have found the forum very useful and informative so thanks to those taking part. See you all in the recovery suite.

Hb1ac reading of 47 - should I ask for treatment
I have had a reading of 47 hb1ac for the last 2 years and my weight has increased by 2 stone over that period despite my diet not changing; due to a
gastric
bypass
as I have not been able to eat sweet foods or large meals for nearly 10 years. Should I ask to start a months treatment of metformin.

Cabg harvest sites
Hi community I'm new here and am after some general advice. I am 16 weeks post op from a quintrupel heart bypass.

How my AF started...
I’ve been on the waiting list for a hernia repair and revision to
gastric
bypass
for over a year now. My Dad had AF and died of a brain bleed last March. About 3 ago after a drinking session and a McDonald’s on the way home, I was sick.

Sternotomy discomfort / anxiety
I am now coming up to 2 years post CABG and still getting mild non specific discomfort in my chest. I am regularly walking 10+ miles without any issues. My twinges can come when I am sat down. I can walk up 8 flights of stairs with minimal breathlessness. Doctors assure me that my discomfort is unlikely

Kidney, bypass and transplant!
I have been on HD since January 2019. About 2 years ago they found s 2.5 cm renal cell carcinoma in left kidney. Earlier in this year (2019) they determined that the RCC grew to 3.5 and were ready to do “something” to remove it. Before surgery, however, I had a heart catherization. The results of

Living Alone after Heart Bypass
Hi everyone, I am Rob and looking for a little advice! My Father in Law is 68 and is 3 weeks post CABG x5 and staying with us at the moment, we live approx an hour away from him. He was in a lot of pain but was recently prescribed co-codamol which is managing the pain fairly well. He isn’t doing much

Key heart tests include: Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG)—This records the electrical activity of the heart as it contracts and relaxes. The ECG can detect abnormal heartbeats, some areas of damage, inadequate blood flow, and heart enlargement. Blood test—Checks for enzymes or other substances released
