Facing some tough times…
Dear All, I have seen so many of us on here sharing our stories of seeing our loved one in so much turmoil… I would like to join you tonight. Many years ago, it was here, where I got support while my husband went through transplants and surgeries following it… I was on here as Pear Shaped then.

Fluid retention after CABG
Hey guys,I was wondering if anyone has suffered from long term water retention after having a CABG (quadruple)? The reason I ask is because my father has been taking 40mg of Furosemide for the past 10 years and his legs have been slowly getting worse. Any help/suggestions would be gratefully appreciated

Scuba with a stent ok?
I will speak to my GP before going ahead but thought i would see if the group had any experience for going to the GP. I'm 42 and had a stent fitted 18 months ago.otherwise fit and healthy.ive always wanted to scuba dive but have heard that this might not be possible after having a stent fitted.

Tachycardia
Rather a long post I’m afraid. In 2000 I was 44 and developed unstable angina over 4 months. My husband had BUPA with his work so I saw a cardiologist quickly, put on aspirin, Bisoprolol and GTN. The cardiologist was always unsure whether it was a blockage to my LAD or a spasm and I was due to undergo

not happy!
feeling abandoned! Hi everyone! In two days time it will be the third year anniversary of my stent operation. I didn’t have a heart attack. Just shortness of breath and the angiogram (I think) found a “severe” blockage in my LAD. I assumed)dangerous) that I’d be back to normal after the stent. But

Triple Bypass side effect.
Since having my CABG in march I keep getting this spasm which rocks my body. I can only describe it as like half a hiccup. It makes me make a weird noise and happens about 10 times an hour. Does anyone know what this could be?

Stopping heart attack meds After 12 months
I have stopped Ticagrelor and Omeprazole after taking for 1 year following 1 stent fitted for heart attack. I did not wean off them just stopped. I've had bad stomach ache, constipation, feeling sick, acid since, particularly bad laying down I'm thinking it's because of stopping Omeprazole? Any ideas
