Advice for mum please
Hi, my name is Marie and I would really appreciate some advice please. My mum is waiting for a double heart bypass and is on angina spray and tablets. This week she has had to use her spray quite often, 3 out of 5 days. I was wondering if anyone would know if it would be safe for mum to increase her

Lost hope
I've been offered help with a
gastric
bypass
but have to lose so much weight alone first. I just can't do it. I'm mostly bed bound so not moving at all. I'm now nearly 30 stone. I just don't know how to lose the weight they are asking me to alone. Any advice would be most helpful xxx

I go to sleep at 10;pm after taking 50mg. TRAZADONE, I sleep for three or four hours and wake up. If I try to go to sleep again I will doze off for a few seconds and wake up short of breath. Each time I doze off I wake up. I'm up all night, and sometimes in the morning I can sleep for an hour if it lets

Newbie to the community. Had a aortic root, hemiarch and coronary artery bypass grafting, with mechanical aortic valve replacement.
Had my operation in Liverpool in March 17 after an aortic aneurysm was detected. Operation went very well heart wise, however I did have a minor stroke and slight epilepsy during and after the operation. Big operation and I was aware of the risks. To me the mechanical valve is quite noisy and wondered

Check Your Blood-Work Results for this Cardiovascular Disease Risk-Metric
Those who are hesitant to pursue more advanced testing for CVD risk by paying for tests not covered by government-run healthcare, can now get insight into their cardiovascular health in a standard blood test. The CBC (Complete Blood Count) is routinely done during annual physicals or when you complain

Sore ankles post cabg x3
Hi everyone. I'm 7 weeks since op. On minimal meds, Atorvastatin and daily aspirin only. Not sure why but for weeks both ankles have been very sore, aching, in Achilles tendon area. This is now inhibiting my walking progress. I and doctor cannot fathom this. Anyone had this or can guess what's happening

They gave me a message and told me
