CABG Disability Discrimination evidence of effect of not taking meds.
I need to find a source of info for emoyment tribunal that outlines the substantial effects on day to day of not taking the medication prescribed post CABG x3. Eg Beta Blockers, aspirin, clopydodryl. Statins... ETc. We know that's to promote optimum health but apart from saying, he'll probably

Lipoprotein a
Hi. Does anyone have high lipoptotein A. Any success in reducing it? I'm 52 years old and have been told my coronary artery disease is premature so I was referred by cardio team to the lipid specialists. I was/am in good shape, decent weight/BMI and fitness. I'm now 8 weeks post-CABG x 2 and 7 months

Cold and sore throat
Hi guys, I have been on benepali for 5 weeks and I think it's working, I still have to take some codiene and naproxen but not as much as before.

Raised lump on CABG scar
I have a scar on my left forearm where the radial artery was harvested 17 months ago. Every now and then a “ sort of hive” appears in the exact same spot. It can be itchy but not sore in any way. It will go in a few hours. Has anyone else experienced this ?

For all those reluctant to have this procedure I would say , go for it !

I had my op 11 months ago and would

Healthy Lifestyle choices can significantly boost your life span post CABG
Hello Lovely People, This is my first post and I don’t even know whether I am doing this correctly. I had a Heart Attack at the age of 33 and ended up having Quintuple Cardiac Bypass Surgery. I have had a lot of anxiety since then about quality life and my life span in general. Which, I am pretty sure
