Caught a cold after AVR and CABG 4 weeks ago
My husband has caught a cold after his surgery 4 weeks ago, or we think it is a cold - really cold and can’t warm up, exhausted and in bed, runny nose and off his food. Is there anything I need to keep an eye on or just let it run it’s course?

Is eating all your calories important
On any plan I have followed it is always stressed to me that I must eat all my calories or points to lose weight. The issue for me has always been that because of my weight my allowances are huge in comparison to others and I struggle to reach those daily calorie goals without eating junk. My meals are

Bio-oil skin use
I'm three weeks post 4x CABG and the leg where the vein was taken is still bruised and swollen, but the wounds are healing well. The skin on my leg is so dry and flaking and uncomfortable. I've been given some Bio-oil and told it will improve the dryness and reduce scarring. Has anyone else used this

Involuntary puff of breathe out....
My husband has had AVR and CABG surgery 4 weeks ago. Several times a day he gives an involuntary big puff of breathe out, does this happen to anyone else and/or do you know why it happens?

Recovery times ?
Hi, 6 week's ago (aged 53 and fairly fit being a postman) I underwent an endoscopic heart bypass at Kings. Recovery or scar and rib pain has been truly amazing however in the last couple of weeks I have pains in what I can only describe as my left boob. My brilliant rehab team say its nerve/ tissue damage

The weight Issue
Once again trying to lose weight, told my GP I needed help he tried to get me on a trial for a gastric band, but was refused and told to go on a diet. So my GP gave me Orislat but as I have a low fat diet they did not work. So booked another appointment with him, in the meantime I have spent money on

Inspired 😊
Just got back from London having gone last night to watch Bear Grylls interview Sir Ranulph Fiennes about his life in the Royal Festival Hall. It was a really interesting evening and I found it quite inspirational. To listen to his story of a heart attack on the ascent to the summit of Everest where

CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURES
Hello I am new to this forum and this is my first post. I hope that this post does not upset anyone or cause any offence. Sorry it is quite long as well. My partner died 3 weeks ago of congestive heart failure. He was 77. He had not said anything to me about feeling unwell. He had a quadruple bypass

Any advice, tips and tricks?
Starting the couch to 5k today as I’m tired of my body shape. Office life has taken me from a six pack to a virtual planetoid. There are two major problems I’m facing which I hope someone with a soft touch might be able to help me with. 1. When I run, my gut bounces up and down and is very uncomfortable

Ill Health Retirement from the NHS
Hi everyone As many others here I am on a bit of a journey with my dicky ticker. Following the failure of my CABG ( surgery July 18) and recent stents and the extent of the progression of my heart disease over a short 7 months (as discovered from my recent angiogram) I have decided to think about Ill

I have been sent a copy of a letter from a consultant cardiac surgeon to a consultant cardiologist about a suggested heart bypass for me He describes me as "this 79 year old" which seems to me to be saying "is it really worth it?" An earlier letter from another consultant cardiologist to the GP describes

Advise and suggestions welcome
Any ideas/suggestions welcome: my mum is in Oxford awaiting bypass surgery. No date yet. The journey is really hard on my dad physically, and financially. The hospital has no family accommodation. I've driven him for several days from here (it's even further from here). Hotels and Air BnBs are all beyond

ARE WE EVER GOING TO BE DRUG FREE
After reading the posts this morning, the one on "cold hands and feet" where someone raised an issue I had indeed thought of before but without any knowledge of. After a heart procedure - mine a CABG - will I ever become drug free?
