Results guidance please
Hello, Please could I ask for some advice on my recent blood test results? I’m on a journey to understanding the link between thyroid function and repeated miscarriages (I’ve put more details in my bio section). These were my results from December 2023 (from blue horizon). I spoke to a private endocrinologist

nose rec onstruction
I recently had a successful procedure to remove an SCC from the right side of my nose. This meant that I also had about 50% of the right side also removed. I am waiting for 9 sessions of radiotherapy and when that is over and my skin has settled I then have to make a decision on future treatment: 1

Cannot sleep after CABG
I've always found it difficult to sleep. Over the last few years I've only ever had 3/4 hours sleep per night. Like all insomniacs I've tried everything, from medication, supplements to CBT-i but nothing really helped. In the end I accepted it and functioned happily enough from day to day. Since

Hi Everyone,It's been 9 months since my 3x Cabg, recovery has been slow. As we came into 2024 I was being investigated for AFib and was supposed to have a loop fitted. This was put off because at the same time I was diagnosed with breast cancer and the loop couldn't be fitted because of the need for

pending CABG
I’m so inspired by the stories people have shared, and photos! This is my first post so apologies if not all relevant. Being a fit 58 year old male recently diagnosed with angina to just hearing I need a double bypass has terrified me. But the wealth of information on here as well has people’s first

11 months post quadruple CABG (25/07/23) after Nstemi heart attack (13/07/23)
Wow , what a month. Enjoyed that one 🤣👊🏻. Passed my module 2 motorbike test and got my full A license to ride unrestricted motorcycles. Passed in the Monday , picked up my 2019 Harley Davidson Sportster 883 on the Tuesday 🙌🏻. A couple of little issues meant that it went back to the dealer for some

Concerned I have PAD
Hello All, I used to be on this forum as Judge Dredd but I had to drop out due to some issues on another chat group unfortunately. Had long-term (20 plus years) hypertension and was diagnosed with CAD approx 5 years ago. Underwent a double CABG in Feb 2020 and then angioplasty with stent in Mar 2023

CTO of AV circumflex
I had CABG just over a year ago. Continued to have same symptoms as before after discharge from hospital. Angiography revealed that CABG had failed. MRI revealed CTO of AV circumflex. Now been referred to interventionist to “risk assess” procedure. This I take to mean they will likely go nothing

Holidays
Cabg triple bypass 4 yrs ago after 2 Ha's, 1 month ago HA and now on 5 more drugs for helping the heart more and angina. How soon is it possible to fly after this, my thinking is might as well rest in the sun as in the rain. Fit enough in my self - doing fair bit of walking, not out of breath or any

Being admitted for a triple CABG at lunchtime today.
I'm a bit anxious! Would appreciate a bit of reassurance. I'm worried about the post op pain mostly. Update: it's been postponed until next week. Got the phone call as we were getting into the car to go to the hospital.....

My 1st anniversary
Well I'm a couple of days late with this post, Friday marked the first anniversary of my heart attack that prompted a fasttrack journey through the NHS cardiac system and an experience of a number of cardiac procedures. In summary I had 2xPCI a year ago tomorrow. An echo prior to discharge led to AVR

Reliance on Codeine
Following CABG five weeks ago I still have a lot of pain in my left leg where the vein was removed. I manage this through 2 paracetamol 4 times a day and 1 codeine tablet twice a day, having just reduced from 2 codeine tablets twice a day. This keeps me just on top of the pain. I'm wondering how

Managing the wait for CABG
When my husband had his pacemaker upgrade to a CRT pacemaker at the beginning of February , cardiac failure and arteriosclerosis of the carotid arteries was detected. The Cardiac Failure nurse is optimising the mediation for the cardiac failure and the cardiothoracic surgeon has met us and a CABG /

Having a STEMI in mid 40's...the search for underlying causes / answers for premature CHD.
Hi Everyone, My husband had a major STEMI in March 2023 with a full blockage of his circumflex artery. He was 44 years old and playing 5-a-side football in a local sports centre when he collapsed without warning. Thank goodness it happened there of all places however, as the swift actions of his team

It's my turn now....
I've been on the waiting list since November '23 and now this afternoon I am being admitted to hospital for a CABG x5 tomorrow (12th April) - hopefully no last minute cancellation. Had a heart attack and stents back in 2019 and was blue lighted into hospital so no time to think about what was happening

Dentists
Hi everyone-I am due to have CABG July/August. I have a routing check up at dentist this month. I have read somewhere of a link between teeth/gums and heart disease. What are the risks, if any? Is there any chance of dental treatment delaying the heart operation? Thanks
