3 weeks post CABG surgery
He is also experiencing some upper back/shoulder pain, whether from the
surgery
or
chest
infection I’m not sure. Is this also a common occurrence? Any tips to try and relieve this?

Waiting forever for Heart MRI
Apparently 3 month wait for an appointment before they decide if I need
surgery
. In the meantime I cannot do anything without
chest
pain, breathlessness and coughing. Has anyone else had to wait ages for treatment, when they have been told it is urgent?

Treatment changes - Rituximab?
Finally saw my consultant again last week. Think he was quite surprised at how swollen my hands have become and he said I'd done well to keep going. So am feeling a little more positive, though I'm battling through a lot of pain. The steroid jabs I had in my finger and thumb base seem to have given

Heart worries
Hi All, I have been having an ache in my chest for a number of weeks. The other night I woke up with chest pain. Ended up in A & E and had all the usual tests - ecg., bloods, chest x-ray. Very conscientious doctor couldn't find a problem although he did say troponin was 'slightly elevated'. Repeated

Exercise intolerance
Hi all. Does anyone have any idea how to tackle this please? Just over four months into PCS. At first I had to build exercise back up but managed to get to walking about five miles a few months ago. Not without symptoms and obviously pretty shattered the next day, but I could do it. Over the last

Pneumonia and collapsed lung after catching the ‘100 day cough’
For all you folks who have Lupus, please be careful of this ‘100’ day cough that is going around at the moment, as this is what caused me to end up in hospital. I was diagnosed with Lupus in February 2022. I’ve had a rough ride for the past few years, ending up in hospital every year for one thing

More Challenges to Overcome!
Some of you may recall that for some years, I've frequently experienced ectopic beats. They've been calmed down with a lowish dose of a beta blocker (Propranolol) and don't usually give me too much cause for concern......until about a week ago when they re-emerged, but with a different manifestation
