Can’t sleep 3 weeks after CABG x3
I’m finding it very difficult to get comfortable at night it’s making me feel very emotional, I hate night times. I have a recliner and also tried sleeping in bed but sleeping upright is wearing me out, if I try to sleep upright on my side my sternum clicks when I breathe. Is this normal. 😢

Is it possible CABG has cause a post op personality change
My husband had a triple bypass in May and he's not the same man. Angry, resentful (towards me), reclusive and quite nasty. Separation pending so would be glad of any feedback.

Shoulder Muscle Pain. Statins?
Feeling like both shoulders are pulling with some pretty slight movement. Taking Crestor and Zetia. Does anyone have any recommendations about dealing with the pain? I need the statins as I'm CABG x3 recently. Call is already into cardiologist.

Stent pain
Following recent cabg surgery I had further problems and a stent was put into one of the grafts 2 weeks ago. I continue to have chest pain so returned to A&E this week on advice of GP but the consultant is sure it’s stent pain. So why didn’t the cardiac consultant give me pain killers while I was in

VISIBLE VEIN AND ARTERY SIZE
Prior to my HA and subsequent bypass surgery last June whenever I went to the doctors for a blood test they would have some difficulty in accessing a vein. However, since the surgery I have noticed that all veins and arteries just below the skin are now quite visible (well not all of them!) and can

Should I go back to consultant?
Thought I was really healthy. Regularly walked 5 miles and enjoyed cycling. Then went to the doctor feeling poorly. Had cabg surgery in May 2019 which obviously saved my life but wasn’t entirely successful. CTCA after cabg showed LAD had severe disease, circumflex had diffuse disease and RCA also had

Impetigo
Hi everyone, I am still on Pred for PMR and should be meeting someone tomorrow who has been diagnosed with Impetigo. Would it be advisable to give them a wide berth. Thank you, Jenny x

Hi, can anyone advise whether these results are in range? I’ve just met with the GP who advised to stay on 100mg of thyroxine. Thanks

Sunburn and skin cancer
Hi I’m a 25-year-old woman and have always been concerned about skin cancer. I have lots of moles all over my body, and a friend of my mum’s died in her 40s of melanoma, so I feel as though my awareness of it is heightened somewhat. I’m trying to understand the statistics you hear about sunburn and

3 month post CABG bloodwork is....odd.
45 year old male. Obviously I'll be discussing this with my cardiologist but I figured I'd share these numbers and get some thoughts. First was 4/9 of this year pre-CABG. Second number was yesterday. Total- 137 - 135 LDL- 80 to 70 HDL- 37.3 to 38.2 (this is a bugger) Triglycerides- 98 to 135

First CABG
I’m seeing conflicting information about the history of CABG. Really all I want know I guess is how old a procedure is it. Seems like it can’t bd attributed to the work of 1 surgeon.

Can a CABG fail?
Hi, about 20 months ago I had a 4x CABG following a heart attack and stents that my body rejected. Life was good. 8 weeks later I was doing DIY and my energy levels were up and high. Around Christmas I started to get chest pains frequently and exercising got a lot harder. Walking up 2 flights of steps
