Post CABG recovery
Hello, I hope everyone is well. I have a couple of questions for anyone who has trod the post-cardiac surgery path before me. I had a CABG on the 5th March and I am very happy with my recovery so far; I am walking for exercise and increasing my distance - although I wish it would warm up a bit. I'm

Low Blood Pressure
Anyone any thoughts on this issue. Had Triple Cabg and valve Repair. Collapsed with BP of 84/48. In hospital three days. Now home but BP still quite low. Went dizzy a couple of days ago - BP 92/54. On the discharge letter they referred to “heart failure”. Anyone any experience of this. Thanks in advance

Lyme's Disease long term arthritis
Is there anyone out there who has long term joint issues due to Lyme's Disease. I had it in 2019 but now struggle to walk 1 mile due to my knees apparently having crumbled and I have cysts on the cartlidge too. Is anyone having similar problems please ? Any advice too thanks.

Legs with little feeling, anyone?
Just wondering if anyone has a similar issue with their legs. I am 4 and a bit months past surgery of CABG x4 and I still don’t have much feeling around the incisions in my lower legs. The scars are healing fine, but the pressure from swelling in the ankles makes it feel like I am wearing ski boots,

Cold Sores and Rituximab
Hi Everyone Great news about the very positive effect the vaccines are having on Covid cases - onwards and upwards. Does anyone have any ideas why I have had 4 cold sores in 4 or 5 weeks? They started before my Covid vaccine so it isn't that. I had my last round of Rituximab in November 2020 after

On the edge with too many decisions
Long story, some venting, need input. Some of you have followed my story of my major car accident last March. It was the other driver’s fault, but I was really hurt. So, on top of COVID-19, I was hospitalized alone, had no job, and spent 9 moths in physical therapy only to have them tell me they have

Hi everyone. Just sharing this link as we have previously discussed problems sleeping post CABG. Its an online course to retrain yourself to sleep and I was referred by my GP after discussing with her difficulties sleeping.

Another unique mystery about the liver.
Under most circumstances, a foreign cell (for example part of a
skin
graft
or transplanted kidney) would be detected and killed by the immune system when it ‘sees’ the foreign antigens. However, the liver is a bit special in this regard.

It's exactly a year since my quadruple heart bypass...what a year!
I haven't posted apart from the odd reply for quite some time but now I've reached a milestone, 1 year since my operation which is also pretty much 1 year in lockdown. When I left hospital it was barely 2 weeks before we went into national lockdown and from that point onward there were just 4 weeks in

Cardio rehab
I would definitely recommend cardio rehab. I had CABG and Mitral valve repair done in 2017. Found motivation really difficult at home and had a delay starting rehab due to arythmia. When I finally started, although the activity did seem really slow, the fact that I had a focus for 6 weeks was very important

Just placed on Entresto
Really interesting reading your replies. I have just been advised to go on to Entresto lower dose am and higher dose pm. This was due to low BP readings under 100. Will know my blood test results soon to decide whether I can tolerate higher dose twice a day. I have had a CABG and mitral valve repair

Trans Apical TAVI op done and dusted at last!
Just thought I'd let everyone know that I've been out of hospital for a week now, after waiting 13 months and two cancellations for an urgent aortic valve replacement. Stiches due out tomorrow. I'm especially grateful to Tessie28 who warned me that even though the op is termed 'key hole' it is still

Covid for Christmas
Hi All, Posted two days ago about really feeling the cold post CABG (my op 10 months ago) and it making my chest ache and hurt. Well, it may also be hurting due to having just tested +ve for Covid. Seems Santa put me on the naughty list! Not felt too bad, just generally crummy the last few days but

Late Happy Christmas
I was busy enjoying Christmas Day, an event I was told in June 2020 I would not witness unless I had an urgently needed op. Well, i had that op, a CABG (3 grafts) and a Davids Procedure and i made it! So Happy Christmas (albeit late) and all the best for 2021. For those in need of that op - there are
