5th valve replacement - ready for the battle!
Well, I’m being admitted tomorrow for my 5th heart surgery (so far, 3 aortic valve replacement, 2 with aortic root, 1 mitral valve and a bypass.) and 2nd mitral valve. They’re hoping to do it minimally invasive to save opening my chest again due to my 3rd surgery being due to endocarditis but they will

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

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

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
