couldn’t fit a stent, what’s next?
Hi, in February I had a big heart attack after suffering a few in the past. I was admitted to hospital where they tried to fit another stent but couldn’t due to calcification in the LAD. I was discharged with new medication, however I’m anxious to know what’s next. Do I need bypass surgery? With

Aviva Critical illness , anyone claimed following heart attack & CABG ?
My wife and I took out a policy years ago , critical illness , it covers heart attacks and CABG. I’ve contacted the insurer and in the process of providing information regarding my heart attack. The policy was something we’d forgotten about after all the years. I wondered if anyone else has remembered

DP going in for heart bypass surgery.
DP is going in to the Royal Infirmary Edinburgh later in the week, beds allowing, for a double /triple /quadruple heart bypass, they'll decide when they get in there.He's really laid back, not stressing because he's generally really calm, but I've got the churny stomach, jitters and can't settle.

Radial artery graft
Hi, I was just wondering if there are others on here who have had their radial artery used for CABG and wondered how long it took for pins and needles to subside in your arm. I am 8 months post op and still experiencing wierd sensations in my arm.

Date brought forward
After a long wait, I was scheduled for cabg x 2 next Monday. Have now received phone call asking my to go tomorrow for surgery on Thursday. Whilst this is great, I am now utterly panic stricken and should be in a mad rush to ensure I have everything sorted, instead I have come to a complete halt! Normal

I don't quite understand?
So what is being "Policed" here is natural progression? Surely it is quite natural to progress a subject as it tumbles around an educated group and when it runs out of steam, someone else will bring the group back on track with another "CLEAN" post! That is how a democracy works - well at least I and

Tips for supporting my Dad after heart bypass
Hi all, My Dad is having a triple heart bypass next week so I wanted to ask if there’s anything that anyone found particularly useful/ helpful whilst in hospital and for recovery. Also anything I can do to support my mum too would be wonderful. I’m planning on staying with my mum the week he is

Pitting on Weight after CABG
Hi all, Fairly new to this and I got an amazing response to my first post. My question this time around is two fold, did anyone have trouble putting on weight after cabg surgery . I am sure the anxiety I have is the culprit but any experiences are welcome. Thanks again.

The state of NASH & Liver Cirrhosis for me in 2023
Eight years ago now (wow has it really been that long?) My NASH journey began with a big bang... Five years ago I posted THIS https://healthunlocked.com/fatty-liver-nash/posts/137898399/coping here on this site which may give you a little background. My memory tends to get a little foggy on details

what to say to husband before surgery…♥️
Doe anyone have any tips for what to say to my husband before his bypass surgery, hopefully next week? He is very emotional and scared as the surgery is risky and outcome unknown. I’m terrified but want to be there for him and don’t want to say the wrong thing. Thank you ♥️❤️🩹🙏

I recorded a podcast for the Kawasaki’s disease charity, Societi! :)
Hey guys! A few of you may know my story now, had a 2x CABG last year and they diagnosed about a year post op that the heart damage was caused by kawasaki disease. I thought you might want to listen to the podcast - only 14 mins long but it’s part of a series by doctors and other patients/parents (it

Travel insurance help
Hi I had a heart bypass last year and now looking at getting travel insurance sorted for a trip away. I am just confused as to what conditions I list on the travel insurance application. It is heart bypass and high cholesterol or is it now considered I have heart disease/failure also. I never had

CABG update
I’ve been home since Wednesday evening, so 4 full days and things are ok. I’ve been walking in the garden and slowly building up stamina but it’s taking a lot out of me at the moment. To date, I’ve planned my days (moving stuff about) so that I use the stairs once in the morning to go down and once

Partners of patients how do you cope? I’m falling apart
My husband 62 yo is awaiting quad bypass surgery at the BHI currently. Long story short, scans show he had a massive heart attack at some point and didn’t notice and it’s really damaged his heart. The bypass team are reluctant to do surgery as it’s risky. Professor Angelini has said he wants to do and

CABG update
How cool is this ? Love the war wound! Back home last night in the rain - my loving wife drove to the Royal Brompton and home to Bedfordshire in the pouring rain last night to get me home - a train journey would have been hell! A night in my own bed, some proper sleep, a shave, haircut and shower
