A thorax CT in September identified coronary artery disease. An angiogram in November verified extent of above as moderate to severe calcification in the LAD vessel. You would have thought drug therapy would have commenced immediately to prevent either a stroke or heart attack but NO, it wasn’t until

Pains post heart attack
Three weeks after major heart attack and three stents fitted, I’m still getting the odd pain in my heart region. Sometimes I get a little pain in my heart while taking a deep breath. Sometimes it’s just a single pain and it goes and sometimes four or five pains each time I breathe. It was more so in

Night sweats
My elective heart surgery went horribly wrong. First a stroke and then a junior doctor in the stroke unit wrongly deciding that I was allergic to blood thinners and putting me on a drip of Vitamin K. Not a good move after a mechanical valve transplant with blood clots a real possibility. After two months

Me and my gizmo
I did a post yesterday about my open heart surgery and today this popped up - me with my gizmo - it is a spirometer which is linked by Bluetooth to my mobile telephone. I use it every other week t send test results to Nottingham City Hospital so that they can monitor my pulmonary fibrosis remotely.

Open Heart Surgery, (OHS) General Comments 2
4 weeks post redo AVR. I thought this information might be helpful to others in a similar place. I was noticing and getting a bit concerned about some increase in pain in and around the wound site and in the intercostal muscles. My cardiac event follow up nurse pointed out that this is a common experience

Newly diagnosed
Hi everyone I've just been diagnosed with Afib following a 24 hour Holter monitor I had done in early December last year. The results only came back last week. Actually, the cardiologist's letter says the trace showed 1. Paroxysmal Afib 2. Atrial flutter 3. 4 short runs of VT which the cardiologist

Apixaban subconjunctival haemorrhage
After taking Apixaban for about three weeks I have a very red left eye; it looks like a subconjunctival haemorrhage is on the way. This is the third time that this has happened after taking an anticoagulant; the three weeks is the longest period I have managed without this occurring. I have read that

Sudden dull ache.
Hi, I had a heart attack and a stent fitted almost 6 months ago. I had my heart clinic follow up in October and have a follow up consult with the cardiac surgery team in a week or so.

Diet and AF
I had been suffering from AF in various forms, latterly persistent, for about 15 years. I had Mitral and Aortic Valve replacement surgery 10 years ago and two weeks ago I had Catheter Ablation. I have been in Sinus and feeling good since my Ablation, until last night. I woke at about 3am in AF.

Spring Covid booster this Spring.
I have a mechanical Aortic valve replacement and therefore on Warfarin. I have AF which began shortly after open heart surgery which took place 7 years ago. Is it a GP decision if I should have the extra spring booster...? No one in my surgery has said I am vulnerable. With Covid restrictions being

His broken heart
My husband of 42 years is very sick. He has an infection in his heart internal bleeding they cannot locate, he will be getting a double aortic bypass, and aortic valve replacement. He has uncontrollable type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s disease. He’s a terrible patient. I’m trying to help him he’s too much

Recuperation
Hi I had a qaudruple heart bypass on 03 December 2021, it's now almost twelve weeks since the surgery and I feel fit and well. I walk regularly between 12,000 to 15,000 steps each day. I'd like to start playing double tennis again, but I'm a little concerned how it might affect my sternum. Is there

Open Heart Surgery, (OHS). General comments.
I hope my experiences might help reassure other people who are due to undergo OHS, in particular Aortic Valve Replacement, (AVR). I am a 66 years old male, 3 weeks into recovery from a successful redo procedure. I had my first surgery 9 years ago to replace a failing bi-cuspid 'original' valve. Both

When to Stop Beta Blockers
Hi All - I’m wondering if the beta blockers I’m taking are doing more harm than good? I had never taken beta blockers (I’m now taking metoprolol 25 mg once a day) before my ablation, but after my ablation they were prescribed for the week following. Unfortunately I never felt comfortable not taking them
