RV Systolic dysfunction and Oxygen
My cardiologist sent me to a pulmonary specialist. I saw him yesterday, and when he heard that I take periodic breaks when walking we walked down the hall while he measured my blood oxygen. It turns out I need oxygen for exertion. Now I do testing to find out why. He is arranging for home oxygen.

Clicking sensation in Sternum post CABG
Hi All, I'm just over 4 weeks post triple bypass op. The recoverys going well. I'm walking 50 mins per day and the scars are healing nicely. I feel a kind of clicking sensation around the sternum area when I'm generally moving around (no accompanying pain though). Just wondered if anyone else has experienced

Hi - a post holiday update
Hi all, hopefully everyone is doing okay if not healthy! I came back on Monday after a 2 week holiday in Cyprus which went very well and just what the doctor (should have) ordered ;-) I did take some dressings to cover my scar but didn't use them in the end, I used a factor 30 on my chest including the

Just out of Interest.
Just out of Interest. I am Christian and I pray every day. Jaunuary 2016 I had a heart bypass and aortic valve replacement. Whilst doing the operation the surgeon did a mini maze to try to stop my afib. Not that I knew that I had afib. Long story short, when I came home I had permanent afib. They

Therapist who needs a therapist
I had
gastric
bypass
surgery a few months ago. I had come off my depression medications previous to that. Since then my anxiety has heightened. I'm a therapist who is going to be licensed soon. I hate the position I am in currently.

4 weeks post triple CABG
Hello everyone. Today I am 4 weeks post op. In some ways it feels like a lifetime ago and others just yesterday. Given everything my body has been through I cannot believe how well I feel and actually, at the risk of being too modest, how well I look. My BMI is 25 (something it hasn't been previously

CABG and sudden pain
Hi All I'm 3 weeks post op and so far everything seems to be going well. However, today when I woke up I started to get some odd pain on the outer edge of my left armpit. Its highly transient, lasts barely a second each time but makes me wince a bit. Heart rate, BP, oxygenation levels all ok, no dizziness
