My doctors will drive me to... death due to conflicting medications.
Health insurers hate me. I am on about 15-10 medications. At age 53, I had a small heart attack. I was born with a defective heart valve that was replaced 7 years ago (Afib was the sign it needed replacement). I thought the afib was gone. Then, 2 months ago, that valve was again replaced along with

12 months after Quadruple By-pass
Today is it 12 months since my 4 X CABG and I thought it would be a good time to reflect on my experience. I suppose the first lesson I learnt was not to put off going to the doctors in the first place! I realised some time ago that I was becoming breathless when even doing the most simple tasks. Like

How come after my CABG (13weeks post op) every 2 or 3 days I can easily stay up, sleepless all night?
After my surgery I used to be very concerned about my insomnia... praying, keeping my wife up talking, etc.. now when it happens I just accept it and go into my living room and watch a movie and know that I’ll be up all night and the next day into the night. I’ll probably sleep tomorrow night... when

The dark has me quit unsettled at times after my CABG surgery.
I’ve notice every 5 night or so... I’m completely sleepless!!! It’s because of the reaction I’m having to the darkness. After my surgery I noticed that I didn’t like the dark anymore... I narrowed it down to some reasons that started to make sense.. 1. My subconscious is traumatized and associates the

After 3x CABG, does anyone else’ Mind feel tired but your body just won’t “let go” and let you fall asleep?
Seems like after my surgery I’m having night time anxiety, hyper vigilant for no reason, I understand my body has gone through hell, but I feel better so why does my mind send me negative feelings?

Cabg x 3
I am 2 weeks post op and have this annoying irritating cough. Not a productive cough more a tickle cough. Is this normal? Went to the GP who tested my chest and back which were clear - thought it might be because I have a hiatus hernia and gave me some gaviscon but does not seem to have made any difference

I am 7 days post op for a cabg. How long does it take for the redness to disappear from your harvested vein sites. How long must you wear the compression socks for?

7 week update post CABG x 3
Hi everyone I thought I would hang fire before I posted an update as nothing really much has happened since my last post. Well today I visited James Cook and met with a Cardiologist not my Surgeon, which was a little disappointing as I really wanted to shake his hand and give him my thank you card, but

Too much NDT perhaps?
During the last year I've struggled to raise my NDT dose because i seemed to create adverse symptoms. However after about a year of taking various supplements for adrenal issues, I did get brave a couple of weeks ago and increased the dose by a small amount. Two to three weeks in, I seem to be tolerating
