Fluid retention after CABG
Hey guys,I was wondering if anyone has suffered from long term water retention after having a CABG (quadruple)? The reason I ask is because my father has been taking 40mg of Furosemide for the past 10 years and his legs have been slowly getting worse. Any help/suggestions would be gratefully appreciated

Between a Rock and a Hardplace!
š Hi Everyone, this will probably seem like a 1st world problem to most people on this forum, I'm sure but I wonder if anyone else has lost a little sleep š“ over my current dilemma? I had Bypass surgery late September 2022. This was purely precautionary following my diagnosis of a severe stenosis

Endoxaban versus Apixaban
I have just received a phone call from my surgery pharmacist asking me if I would like to change from Apixaban to Endoxaban. I listened intently to what he had to say, it seems I fall into the criteria for doing this change. At the end of the conversation he said ā by changing it has considerable advantages

Tachycardia
Rather a long post Iām afraid. In 2000 I was 44 and developed unstable angina over 4 months. My husband had BUPA with his work so I saw a cardiologist quickly, put on aspirin, Bisoprolol and GTN. The cardiologist was always unsure whether it was a blockage to my LAD or a spasm and I was due to undergo

Paravalvular leak
I have a prosthetic aortic valve and have just been diagnosed a paravalvular leak. There is contradictory information on the internet: don't do anything until symptoms or treat with keyhole repair or treat with another open heart surgery replacement. I dread to think of a 2nd surgery, I also don't

Good afternoon fellow afibers, I've just gained online access to my medical records and finally got to see the results of a 24 hour ECG monitor done in July 2022 (shown below).

symptoms after open heart surgery
hello if you were symptomatic before having open heart surgery how long was it by the time you felt that you were no longer symptomatic? Can it be immediate? appreciate everyone is different and no two ohs outcomes will be the same even if the surgery was for the same condition. But Iām curious

Can't get a quote for Holiday Insurance until I specify what the medication I'm taking following Bypass surgery is for.
The only reason why I'm taking this cocktail of drugs is that it is the Gold standard practice following
Bypass
surgery to guard against the
heart
remodelling itself.

Digoxin vs Pace & Ablate?
As some already know Iāve had a hard recovery since ablation on 23/11/22. HR was on the rise again slowly from then and the severe respiratory episode went on & on. Just coming to the end of what I think is maybe the 5th antibiotic course! Iāve now been on digoxin 125mcg since 28/2/22 and following

Dad has hypoxic brain injury after cardiac arrest
My dad had heart surgery came out and then had a CA for 20mins. He has had a scan which is saying hypoxic brain damage. We are on day 3 and he is moving legs, responding to pain opening eyes but he is unconscious. He is not responding to pain. I am writing for positive stories as it all seems very bleak

Triple Bypass side effect.
Since having my CABG in march I keep getting this spasm which rocks my body. I can only describe it as like half a hiccup. It makes me make a weird noise and happens about 10 times an hour. Does anyone know what this could be?

Heart Attack and Insurance
Usually I have PAF which when I have an episode doesn't last for not longer than 4 hours max. Two weeks ago I had an AF and Tachycardic episode lasting from Sunday morning through to Wednesday, I carried on throughout, which in hind sight I should not have done. On Wednesday morning I had a Type 2 Heat
