Exercise do's and don'ts
Morning all, So I had a stent fitted 4 years ago and feel quite healthy and try and do my 30 mins exercise each day. I had a massage a couple of weeks ago and she reckoned that I shouldn't be doing exercises such as planks, press ups, bench presses etc. It's the first I've heard about it and would

Views on running after CABG?
I suppose this is a addressed to people who used to run before their operation.I used to run and I wasn't very good.Pre op on a treadmill I could run at 5mph, or twelve minute mile pace, if I veered over this I might have chest discomfort and had to take a rest.I was warned not to exert myself but felt

Angiogram and possible second Stent and Stress test coming up
Firstly thanks to those who replied to my first post about my nuasea it is improving and on a good day I have no symptoms. Firstly when I had my HA on the 12th July they fitted one stent but noticed the left side was showing some narrowing and I think they put a balloon to widen it with a possible stent

Post Cabg how soon do you think i can i lie on my side?

I've been lucky because i am fairly content on a pillow slope and laying stock

Heart attack and smoking.....
Hi all, My husband had a sudden heart attack on Sunday evening and was rushed into hospital and had a stent fitted. Luckily he seems pretty normal and is back home recovering. Due to how major the heart attack was,he has now been told that he has heart failure as his ejection fraction is at 25%

Updated Thyroid levels and new Vitamin readings
Hi, I recently posted as a Newbie (under the name Sailorbo, which I've now discontinued as I had a previous registration with the BHF). As a quick recap, had a full Thyroidectomy last September due to Papillary Cancer. I'm not having Radioactive Iodine as I already have poor saliva and it might make
