Feeling queasy breakfast till lunchtime seven weeks on from Bypass Surgery.
Having never suffered from hypertension prior to my
Bypass
and with a current resting
heart
rate of 54-60 beats per minute range ( prior to my Bypass it was in the mid 60s) surely I will be able to kick most of my meds into touch in the near future.

worry over echo results
I am a 58 year old woman with a 3 generational history of dilated cardiomyopathy, including mother who had a heart transplant at 50 and am also a carrier of Becker muscular dystrophy, which carries an increased risk of DCM. I have an ECG and Echo every 3 years and when the results of the last echo came

exercises for post bypass surgery
my uncle is doing brill since his bypass surgery, 6 weeks on he’s walking up the stairs and trying to exercise using a pedal bike. He has seen the cardiac nurse but exercise booklet think has been delayed due to postal strike. Any tips would be helpful? Also the district nurse discussed his stomach issues

Not exactly ‘in the pink’
Hello everyone. Are there any people out there, that cough up pinkish phlegm. It’s only after lying down for 2 or 3 hours. I’m not quite sure if I’m starting to develop heart failure. I’ve been taking anticoagulants since 2014 and changed onto Apixaban about 16 months ago. Thanks in advance.

How can I manage persistent AF
I am in UK and have had paroxysmal AF for a few years and was prescribed Flecainide and Bisoprolol but also had a Pacemaker fitted in July 2020 because of a low resting heart rate (normally 50 but loop recorder showed some drop to mid 30s overnight). Any periods of AF I’ve had up to now have been 5/

Mitral Valve Clip
I was recently diagnosed with severe regurgitation of my Tricuspid Valve amongst other things. My Cardiologist is referring me to a team of specialists to see if I would be better to have open heart surgery or the Mitral Valve Clip procedure. I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge or experience

Change from Apaxiban to Edoxaban?
Surgery rang this Saturday(!) afternoon. Asked whether I would agree to switch from to Edoxaban. Over 4 years I have not had any side effects from Apixaban nor have tests revealed any problems. Has anyone made this switch? Also, the nurse said the advantage was that I would only take one pill, instead

4th Open Heart Surgery - Valve Replacement
Hi! My dad is having to have his 4th OHS in the coming weeks and I'm feeling a bit scared and anxious about it all. His last one was only in July 2021 - they are replacing the same valve that was replaced last time plus another one. Does anyone have any experience of having 4 open heart surgeries? Many

Why do I keep experiencing involuntary sharp intake of breath.
Hi I am m 3 weeks post CABG and increasingly I am experiencing sudden involuntary intake of breath. I can only describe it like when a child is sobbing and then suddenly draws in breath. My Sats are all good, breathing is otherwise normal. Has anyone else had this? 🥴

Q10 Supplement
My chiropractor suggested I might benefit from taking a supplement called Q10 gold. The research I did was quite interesting done by Pharma Nord, seems their studies with people with heart problems eg heart failure also CABG mortality rate reduced considerably, also enhanced energy levels etc. My Chiropractor

Angiogram results
Well yesterday was my test day. I posted about it was going to be an angioplasty but I didn’t really want stents if there was a problem I wanted another bypass as it’s so close to my Quad CABG being done last year then I’d rather get it fixed then repaired. I had a long chat with the cardiologist and

Failed Back Surgery
In 2019 I had 9 hours of Open
Heart
surgery - which was a Triple
Bypass
and Mitral Valve Repair. This was reasonably successful but the Mitral Valve still has a slight leak. In 2021 I was hospitalised and diagnosed with Heart Failure.
