Finger nails going white
Hello - I wonder if anyone has had an issue with their nails? My finger nails have started going white where the bed is and kind of goes down my nail. I am not sure if the nail is lifting up off the nail bed but it might be. I have the same issue with my toe nails - the chiropodist said it was fungal

Here’s a clue..
🕵️♀️ Here’s a clue... 😮 It’s the most common form of cancer worldwide! 🤔 The many forms of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer comes in many guises. 👍 It’s a smart move to get savvy with skin surveillance and build knowledge in identifying potentially significant lesions. 🧡 We’ve made that

Psychological support after CABG
I was wondering how I can help my husband to get over the trauma of what he went through. He just had a bypass at 42 years and this is making him realise how limited his life span is. I know he tries to be positive, but he cannot help but think about what he thinks is his "impending doom" . He said that

Medications side effects continue
Hello everyone, I hope your weekend is going well. I am now nearing 6 months post CABG x 4 and still struggling with nausea and vomiting from some of the meds. I was changed to Clopidogrel from Ticegrelor, and am also on Nebivolol. I can’t tolerate the statin tablet so that is an ongoing conversation

Vasculitis vs arteriosclerosis, getting pregnant after a CABG and statin/diet questions!
Hi! I’m 34 and have just had a CABG, I’m 6 weeks post op and feel almost back to normal. Yes, I know, I’m young and have bounced! They think that my coronary arteries were damaged by vasculitis I (might) have had when I was 19, it wasn’t diagnosed at the time as I had just classic viral symptoms although

Aspirin doseage
I have taken aspirin and Clopidogrel since my HA and CABG last May. I buy aspirin, save the NHS a few pennies, and I inadvertently bought 300mg instead of 75mg. 🤷♀️ So this morning I broke one in half and took 150mg (I tried quarters but ended up with crumbs 😂) I can’t get to the shops until Monday

Transition from Disease to Health.
Well, to report progress along the way I think I have got through the flare of GCA to a stable state albeit back on 35 mg pred. It's taken a couple of months nearly to overcome the drop to 22.5mg when the flare started. Now to taper slowly and see if I can get down to a better level. All this has given

Stenting or CABG
Hi, I just had an angioram and was told that there is moderrate to severe Stenosis LAD disease. The cardiologist told me that they may offer me a CABG or probably a stent and will let me know once they have decided. My initial symptoms were chest discomoft sometimes during the day and heart racing for

Aspirin intolerance
Hello everyone, does anyone have experience of aspirin intolerance and stopping taking it for an alternative. After 4 months post CABG x 4 I am still struggling with nausea and vomiting. I have to have a ct scan and endoscopy to check everything is okay with my stomach etc. I take Clopidogrel every morning

1 in 4 men are diagnosed with non melanoma skin cancer. 1 in 36 with melanoma.
YET MEN ARE LESS LIKELY TO COVER UP AND WEAR SUNSCREEN, CHECK THEIR SKIN FOR SIGNS OF CHANGE OR VISIT THEIR GP WITH ANY CONCERNS. Knowledge is power - share it with the men you care about.

Retained pacing wires
I understand most people having CABG or valve surgery these days have pacing wires connected in case of heart block or Afib after the Op. I have found out that in my case the wires were cut at skin level and retained. However I have read that retaining them in the body can cause problems later on there
