Terrified!!
I am scheduled for double bypass surgery next Monday and am terrified! Have always been fit and healthy and never had to undergo in patient surgery. Need reminding of why I am putting myself through this, as angina pain is very well managed! I’m only 58 and my heart EF is good . 😬🥴

Tastebuds
It’s now gone more than five weeks since I had a triple
heart
bypass
and my tastebuds are still messed up. From what I’ve read this happens in a minority of cases and is usually caused by anaesthetic rather than post op medication.

aortic valve surgery
morning all, I have had open heart surgery 8 weeks ago to replace my aortic valve. I have a mechanical valve now which I can hear ticking/thudding. Few days ago I could notice , while lying down, a few skipped heartbeats, naturally I got a little worried and also panicked which made the matter worse

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

Thanks to you all
Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who replied to my previous post about my partner being diagnosed with emphysema. I spoke to a wonderful specialist nurse called Liz over the phone yesterday who reaffirmed a lot of what had been said. We spoke to his GP over the phone this morning and

Painful legs (burning sensation behind both knees)
As some of you know I have
heart
disease (pacemaker, valve replacement, double
bypass
and endocarditis), could this be related and, if so, will it wait until the my planned review? Thanks a lot

Apixaban
I've had my Apixaban reduced from 5mg to 2.5mg, since this reduction I have had quite a lot of headaches. I tried to contact my GP, it would be easier to contact the Prime Minister. I do have other issues HBP, but it has remained stable for once. I also take Bisoprolol and a whole lot of other meds

Tachycardia
Rather a long post I’m 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

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 ‘ by changing it has considerable advantages

Between a Rock and a Hardplace!
👋 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 😴 over my current dilemma? I had Bypass surgery late September 2022. This was purely precautionary following my diagnosis of a severe stenosis

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

24 Hour ECG Monitor Results - Advice Please
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 I’m curious
