Tachycardia
Rather a long post I’m afraid. In 2000 I was 44 and developed unstable angina over 4 months. My husband had BUPA with his work so I saw a cardiologist quickly, put on aspirin, Bisoprolol and GTN. The cardiologist was always unsure whether it was a blockage to my LAD or a spasm and I was due to undergo

Triple Bypass side effect.
Since having my CABG in march I keep getting this spasm which rocks my body. I can only describe it as like half a hiccup. It makes me make a weird noise and happens about 10 times an hour. Does anyone know what this could be?

Good news then bad
I had a meeting with my cardiologist yesterday snd he told me he was delighted with my recovery from double cabg surgery. He answered all my questions and reassured me about all the concerns/ worries I have. I came out feeling on cloud 9, and for the first time in 3 years of heart concerns, I felt there

Hello lovely ones! So a few of you know me know now, I had a 2xbypass (CABG) aged 34 in January last year, as a result of severe coranary artery damage caused by vasculitis. I am back to being signifcantly better than before my op and have been getting fit by hiking with my faithful dog Marmite. On

Triple Bypass 2 years on.
I sometimes reply to the questions and experiences of others but I don't instigate threads, so this is an exception. Two years ago today, age 64, I was in surgery for triple CABG following a heart attack and one stent in 2019, and a return of some symptoms such as pressure in upper chest and awful jaw

One for the ladies!
Hi all, You may recall 12 weeks I posted how terrified I was about my forthcoming CABG operation. I can't thank those of you that responded to my post enough for the support I have had. I am now 11 weeks post, and need help from the ladies.....my ' girls' are mostly still numb... Little sensation on

Depression ?
5 years now since bypass surgery, and my depression (if that's what it is) is getting worse. Nothing ever phased me before CABG, but now... I find myself crying at something sad on tv. I find myself crying at something happy on tv ! I find myself crying in a restaurant or pub, for no apparent reason

post op consultation
Well yesterday was 13 weeks post op double cabg, and I was waiting for a follow up phone call from my surgeon at 10.40 am. It cam to 1pm and I had heard nothing so phoned his secretary who was so lovely and extremely helpful, although she did not know why he hadn't phoned as he had not left a message

Still breathless 6 1/2 wks post cabgx2
My recovery has been perfect- apart from being breathless or exhausted upon relatively small exertion.Today i carried a tv upstairs and was panting like a dog, later on my walk i was breathing heavily on every incline. I have been posting when it would be sensible to start running again, and following

shoulder and back pain following CABG
I had a triple CABG 8 weeks ago now. I am finding it difficult to get back to moral activity because my shoulders ache and I have a strong ache between my shoulder blades at the top of my back. I kinda expected these aches in the early days because of positioning and trauma during surgery, But was not

Latest Bloods
Hi All I have tried since 26th October 2022 to increase my T3 with Liothyronine. A very tiny amount of 1.25mcg at night, it seemed to be working fine until 2 days after my blood test - high heart rate and increased sweating at night, feeling too hot during the day, despite the weather being so cold

Views on running after CABG?
I suppose this is a addressed to people who used to run before their operation.I used to run and I wasn't very good.Pre op on a treadmill I could run at 5mph, or twelve minute mile pace, if I veered over this I might have chest discomfort and had to take a rest.I was warned not to exert myself but felt

Post Cabg how soon do you think i can i lie on my side?
i asked the physiological this when i was still in and she said when i liked.To start with even slight movement was unthinkable,I lay and slept absolutely still.I would dream i was stretching and wake up with my arms braced. I've been lucky because i am fairly content on a pillow slope and laying stock

Why do I keep experiencing involuntary sharp intake of breath.
Hi I am m 3 weeks post CABG and increasingly I am experiencing sudden involuntary intake of breath. I can only describe it like when a child is sobbing and then suddenly draws in breath. My Sats are all good, breathing is otherwise normal. Has anyone else had this? 🥴

Angiogram results
Well yesterday was my test day. I posted about it was going to be an angioplasty but I didn’t really want stents if there was a problem I wanted another bypass as it’s so close to my Quad CABG being done last year then I’d rather get it fixed then repaired. I had a long chat with the cardiologist and

beta blockers
Why do the docs love prescribing these type of drugs. I never had them prior to my cabg. I have suffered the dizziness and light headed ness but it’s the overwhelming fatigue that gets me down. So last week l decided to record my b/p twice a day to see if that sheds any light on the situation. Long story
