Why do the docs love prescribing these type of drugs. I never had them prior to my cabg. I have suffered the dizziness and light headed ness but it’s the overwhelming fatigue that gets me down. So last week l decided to record my b/p twice a day to see if that sheds any light on the situation. Long story

Dental extraction.
My question is regarding dental extraction. At the end of this month, I am due to have four dental extractions: Two stumps (it’s a long story); the root of a crown which came off recently and where there is insufficient root left to re-join the crown; and a leaking abscess which appeared the day before

MV repair (OHS) – six months on – tips and thoughts……..
Initial Rehab Ask to join the local NHS rehab programme – unfortunately in my NHS area (Oxford and Gloucester/Cheltenham) it was only for more “serious
heart
patients” a
bypass
or worse! (I found this unbelievable) – I had to create my own programme.

Stents AFTER failed CABG
Had stents fitted on Wednesday. Got home last night after a stay in CCU overnight. I was told at the time the surgeon managed to stent all three arteries (even the fully blocked one with 2 long stents, yayy!) Now I'm home and read the discharge letter it says one balloon to one artery and stents in the

Ten weeks since Bypass surgery and looking to play 🎾 tennis next week?
Hi everyone, I was wondering 🤔 if anyone else has been in my position and gone back to playing tennis at 10 weeks post Bypass and if so did they suffer any ill effects? I'm chomping at the bit to get back to playing social tennis 🎾 as it plays such an important role in my life. However come Monday

Left Atrial Shunt
I have had AF for 9 years. I currently take Bisoprolol and Apixaban. I have had two ablations, neither of which stopped the AF. However the second ablation in 2019 left an Atrial septum defect I.e. a hole between the two atria which apparently causes a left atrial shunt. The arrhythmia nurse who I saw

”Novel” myocardial bridge surgery - article
Hello for anyone interested and / or with a MB, I came across the article below which offers up a “novel” approach to CABG surgery for extensive bridges (greater than 5mm deep I interpreted that as). this article suggests a bypass with the LIMA from the point of entry to the point of exit. There is

Gp intervention
I have my AFib under control after being prescribed my meds by my heart consultant. I take Flecainide, Apixaban, & Propranolol which controls my a fib. However, I have just realised that my Gp has halved my propranolol dose without consultation! ( from 80 mg to 40 mg) I am due to have a medical review

Open heart surgery
I’m slightly anxious about my upcoming surgery for a mitral valve replacement and repair of atrium valve plus bypass on 16 January. I suffer from COPD. My worries are not actually about the heart side of the op, I have an amazing Clinical Lead who is extremely capable of this op. Amazing and clever

I am new here, struggling with feeling lonely and feeling stuck
does anyone else since becoming sick find it extremely isolating? I was 20 ish when I first started to become unwell and my tachycardia just got worse and worse as the years went by. I collapsed multiple times, one time I even split my head open after smacking off of a sink which was not a fun experience

Open Heart Surgery in my Future - urrrgghh
Hi lovely hearties, hope you're all having a good betwixtmass and have managed to catch up with loved ones and indulge in small pleasures. I had my meeting with the ACHD consultant yesterday and he showed me the Echo of my heart. Yes, I have a hole in my atrial septum. And it's big; 20-30mm, he reckons
