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

Not what I would have thought
So Christmas is behind us. the food we probably should not even think about,let alone eat. Seeing family and friends (and having to show them the'scar') the obligatory mince pies (sorry mr R) and too much vino. And the gifts, a new circular saw from my wife,a 18volt battery for my Makita kit from my

Cabg issues
Hi My dad went in to hospital for cabg last monday. He was so happy about getting it done so quickly. It was all good until he had an episode the following night, we believe a heart attack. He has damage now to his heart. He is still on a ventilator and they are trying to keep him stable. I am so scared

The Holmes-Adie Syndrome in the Mona Lisa of Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519)
Another paper speculating on historical, and artistic, thyroid disease. Interesting, but always take such things with a big pinch of salt.

Can anyone recommend a counsellor following CABG.
I seem to be struggling and it’s been 10 weeks, but I am increasingly anxious. Thank you in advance

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

Melanoma can appear anywhere on the body, but are most commonly found on the trunk in men and legs in women.
Melanoma can appear anywhere on the body, but are most commonly found on the trunk in men and legs in women. Melanoma can arise from otherwise normal appearing skin (about 70%) or from within a mole or freckle, which starts to grow larger and change in appearance. There are several different types

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

So back to hospital, a cardio CT booked and a new pill to add to the multitude I already have with my

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

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
