4 weeks post cabg and back in hospital.
Hi everyone it's been 4 weeks since my double bypass. I've been having breathing issues and yesterday Dr's asked me to go to hospital as fluid on my left lung. Dr's have just done ward rounds and my left lung is full of fluid. I could either have a needle put in but it would only drain 1 1/2 litres so

Is 5:2 diet suitable for me?
Hello guys, Had a heart attack and triple CABG 8 months ago. Is a 5:2 diet / lifestyle suitable for me right now or ever? 5:2 being, for 2 days of the week cut calorie intake to 600 (500 for women). Is there a minimum intake I need to maintain every day for optimum heart health? Thanks

Can Too Much Sleep Hurt Us?
Hi -- I am 73, have mild kidney failure, a lung disease, and since 2018 AFIB and mild heart failure. Even before the heart problems I was always tired. Now some days I am good for nothing and want to just sleep half of the day. I sleep so great & can fall asleep in like a minute. Usually 8 hours a night

Need some Advice
Hi guys. I’m nearly at my 3 month milestone following open heart surgery to replace the mitral valve with a mechanical one. No major post op problems but wanted to ask your advice on couple things. So I started to hoover again 3 days ago. And now I have quite severe pain in my right shoulder blade.

Aches & Pains after Bypass
I don't know what everyone else is feeling, but I found that after having triple bypass surgery 6 months ago, I was sent home and sort of left to it. The surgeon saw me, once after 6 weeks, did some tests and said I was fine. My incision opened up which is another story. My cardiologist spoke to me

Decision 100% made... (I think !!) 🙃
Hi everyone ☺️ Well the last few months have been awful, mentally and physically. But on a more positive note I've made some decisions ( I think)!! Will be as brief as poss. After a few years of going crazy thinking it's all in my mind with weird beats and dizziness, I now have a diagnosis of Complex

How arrhythmia feels like?
I’ve been experiencing daily bradycardia for a while now, I’d occasionally feel it with palpitations and have skipped beats, my primary doctor did an electro but couldn’t find anything, I’m not an active person, I don’t feel like my heart should be beating like that, so how do I know it’s arrhythmia

Cardiac Surgeon for Mitral Valve repair
Hello, I am new here. My 89 year old Dad has a leaky Mitral Valve and enlarged aortic root. I am not sure if he will be able to have open heart surgery. Has anyone had the MitraClip or NeoChord repair? How was your experience and can you please recommend a surgeon? Thank you.

How do you cope w ith being told you have PAF along with your other cardiac problems
Having had AVRT for over 35 years controlled by drugs my tachycardia has now broken through the meds. Zio monitor has now shown PAF and Troponin is elevated. Started on Apixaban last week but have had to stop it as it totally wiped me out. How does one cope with all this without stressing oneself

Odd feeling
Does anyone experience this? Every so often (maybe once every three weeks) I’m settling down to sleep when I get a strange vibrating sort of feeling in my eyes, head and body. It’s a bit scary. It only lasts about 5-10 seconds but I lay there thinking, am I having a stroke? Heart attack? ... It’s not

Heart Bypass
My partner had a quadruple bypass on the 12th March. He was home a week later, but since then he’s been having awful pain in his left shoulder and can’t sleep properly for it. Any suggestions?

Elevated heart rate.
Morning all. I have noticed my heart rate running quite fast even during the night. This is a new one for me. I was diagnosed a fib in Jan and take Verapimil and Apixaban. My question is should I try and talk to my gp (if I can) or battle on. Waiting for CV but now just getting a call in Oct. Many thanks
