Train travel
I’m 6 months post 3x CABG and have just done a long train journey to visit my daughters. I’ve recovered so well from the surgery that I thought ‘I can do this’. At Crewe, due to delay with 1st train, I had 4 minutes to catch my next train, no time to wait for the lift, so I legged it up and over the

CABG Off Pump Lungs
I am due a double CABG next month (Happy New Year?!). It is Off Pump so my heart won't stop (hopefully). But.... what happens to my lungs, do they keep going?

Reopening blocked artery
5 years after a quad CABG one of my vein grafts is failing and has not reacted well to stenting. The plan is now to reopen one of my blocked arteries in a procedure called Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (cto pci). I just wondered whether anyone has had experience of this procedure

Non-melanoma skin cancer is hugely overlooked
Non-melanoma skin cancer is hugely overlooked, yet it’s the UK’s most common cancer with over 240,000 cases diagnosed annually - with figures expected to increase to over 400,000 by 2025! Rates of melanoma are rising faster than any other cancer in Britain with 1 in 36 males and 1 in 47 females diagnosed

On the second day of Christmas the hospital gave to me a cardio CT booking and amlodipine...😞 Sadly, nearly 2 years post double CABG angina pains have started to return (bloody cold doesnt help 😡!). So back to hospital, a cardio CT booked and a new pill to add to the multitude I already have with my

Travel insurance
Hey everyone, does anyone have experience of travel insurance post CABG? Is it easy/cheap to get? I had a 4-way.. I also had a nephrectomy but I'm less concerned about that as an ongoing health concern Cheers!

Strange feeling in my chest, could it be Angina.
Sorry for the long post, but here goes. It is now almost 6 months since my heart attack and subsequent CABG x 6. Before my heart attack I felt healthy and presented no symptoms. I am recovering well after been diagnosed with acute CHD and am feeling so much stronger apart from niggles around the sternum

Chest pains 6 months after HA and triple CABG
I’m 6 months post CABG and HA. I’ve not had any twinges or chest pains for a few months until today. Both left and right side of chest. My recovery has been surprisingly unremarkable and I’m fit and well. I’ve taken some paracetamol which has eased the pains but it’s frightened me a bit. I’m not a panicker

Melanoma Groin Dissection
Hi I recently had a groin dissection for melanoma & had 5 lymph nodes removed , I’m told the cancer was in just one of those. & I am now being offered Immunotherapy but when I read all the side effects one actually being skin cancer itself , I am not sure whether to have this or just have scans to check

Insurance Renewal Costs
Hello everyone. I had a x4 CABG in June this year and am recovering very well (touch wood). I'm a seasonal ski instructor and regularly work in the Alps (Austria, Italy and Switzerland). I have professional insurance cover whilst teaching but that only covers part of the day. The rest of the day

Shortness of breath post CABG
Good Morning, I really need some advice. My mum had Quadrupled last December. Over the past 3 weeks she has been experiencing shortness of breath and some pain over shoulder, neck and arm. It's not the angina pain she was getting pre surgery and only experienced some tightness around the chest area when

CABG Lungs?
I am 8 weeks out from triple CABG and my lungs still are not giving me full breaths. When I breathe I can't take a full breath without some discomfort and when I walk up hills I have a hard time taking full breaths because it causes coughing. Can anyone normalize this for me?

Isosobride mononitrate
Had cabg x 3 2 years ago. 1 yr later discovered a problem with a 4th artery. Too narrow to stent. Given Ranexa to control angina type episode. Worked for about a year although I’ve been having hearing problems so when I had another episode didn’t want to increase it so meds changed to the isosobride

Sun beds are not safe - Fact
Sunbeds emit the same UV radiation as the sun, but at much greater intensities. Sunbeds are classified as a group 1 carcinogen for a reason. Even one sunbed use can increase your risk of melanoma by 20% and sunbed use before the age of 35 can increase the risk of melanoma by 75%! The message is clear

Circumcised 10 days ago. My secret to overcome circumcision complications
And also there a surgery where they add
skin
graft
from a hairless part of the body and they add it to the shaft of the penis to fix the issue. the vy inverted is the easiest one i think, so for those who dont like to have a tight shaft after circuncision theres an exit door to the problem and you will

Running post sciatica
Hi All, I took up running after my CABG to help keep fit 2 years ago but I had a really bad bout of sciatica in Sept that completely stopped me in my tracks. I'm just getting to the point where I can walk 5K and am hoping I can start running again, leg and back permitting. Has anyone else been in a
