Holiday - flying
My husband would like us to go abroad for some winter sun in the next couple of weeks. Following my CABG in July I am anxious about flying. Should I be worried ?

CAD at 47 - Shock
Just a bit of background. Was suffering from anxiety attacks and heart palpitations last Sep. Was referred to a cardiologist (privately). Did the usual tests (holt ecg / Echo / CTCA). Whilst the ecg and echo came back with no issues, unfortunately CTCA showed moderate( 50%) stenosis in mid-LAD. Calcium

2 weeks after Bypass surgery
Good morning everyone 😊 Sorry for the delayed update. On 15 Jan I underwent CABG x3. I was in ICU on the ventilator for 24 hours after op as there was a bleed on my chest that they needed to correct before waking me up. I was completely unaware of any of this, my first memory was a 3am phone call from

Easing pain in sternum / breast bone when coughing and sneezing.
After I had had a Triple CABG Operation done, every time that I coughed, or sneezed, which I tend to do violently my sternum / breastbone / chest hurt a lot. It was not until a physiotherapist friend had told that hugging myself would make coughing and sneezing more comfortable , that it did not hurt

Hubby having cabg X4 on Thursday
Hubby had a very mild heart attack 2 weeks ago. Kept in hospital then after a week sent to a specialist hospital in Sheffield to have angioplasty and stents. They immediately kept him in Sheffield hospital and he's having a quadruple bypass this Thursday. Feeling so scared and although they are fantastic

Amlodipine Unwanted Side Effects
Several years ago, I was put on my first ever medication for High Blood Pressure, AMLODIPINE. One of the unwanted side-effects of it was abnormal chest pain on the left side of the chest. I even had to get a GP to check me out, but he said that there was nothing wrong. Eventually, my own GP phased

Bisoprolol Experience.
On the 4th of April, 2023, I had a Triple Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Operation. I was then prescribed Bisopralol 10mg, a day, including to help control my high blood pressure. That was despite my telling the hospital doctors that that might not be suitable, because Betablocker medicines like that

how do you prepare for bypass!
Hi Just after a little bit of advice on how I can prepare myself for a bypass surgery, I only found out before Xmas after an angiogram they couldn’t fit stent because of where the blockage is in the left internal mammary artery. So I’ve been referred but now my mind is going into overdrive thinking

Post CABG infection at leg wound site
My husband had Triple bypass surgery on 1st Dec. Recovered really well and was looking great with minimal pain and getting stronger every day. Wounds had healed well although leg wound/scar where they took the saphenous vein was still a bit lumpy although closed, dry and healthy looking. Suddenly three

Liver Stent/Tips
Hi, I had a tips in May 2022, within 6 weeks it failed and I had urgent surgery to correct it in July 2022. I've been told my new TIPS is very big. Since then I have felt absolutely amazing. However, past week I've had a build up of ascities - not huge but enough to see my weight increase by 7lbs. I

Pre op done
So im in for cabg x 4 on monday, just been to pre op appointment and am a little shocked as the nurse told me ill just be on paracetamol when i come around ? I thought morphine etc would be administered before I wake up. Kind of hoping the anasthesia is still doing its job upon waking ?

encouraging someone to be active and enjoy live
hello, after a little advice as to how to help encourage my mum to be more active and to get out there and enjoy things. She can be quite sensitive so I have to tread carefully not to upset her but I’m feeling so frustrated with her. I under stand I’m not in her shoes and don’t know how it feels so thought

Health Update
So I had the mammogram and ultrasound. Imaging shows a 2cm lump stuck to the breast. The consultant says it is cancer and will be confirmed by the biopsy. Lucky it's caught early and doesn't look like it's spread to the lymph nodes. The plan is breast conservation therapy. A lumpectomy and radiotherapy

Blockage near junction
I had may angiogram today. One significant blockage was detected. The consultant said that the blockage is near the junction of two arteries and therefore he is not allowed to immediately fit a stent until he consults with the medical committee. He did not explain [i]
