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

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

Update on bloods - retested
Hi all I had my bloods done again through Medichecks as the GP refused to re-test. Endo agreed that the GP's FT4 result was utter rubbish. Results as follows: CRP <0.3 (range 0 - 5) Ferritin 112.0ug/L (range 13 - 150) Folate Serum 18.74ug/L (range 13 - 150) Vit B12 - Active >150 (range 37.5 - 188)

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

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

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’.

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

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
