Holiday - flying
My husband would like us to go abroad for some winter sun in the next couple of weeks. Following my CABG in July I am anxious about flying. Should I be worried ?

CAD at 47 - Shock
Just a bit of background. Was suffering from anxiety attacks and heart palpitations last Sep. Was referred to a cardiologist (privately). Did the usual tests (holt ecg / Echo / CTCA). Whilst the ecg and echo came back with no issues, unfortunately CTCA showed moderate( 50%) stenosis in mid-LAD. Calcium

2 weeks after Bypass surgery
Good morning everyone 😊 Sorry for the delayed update. On 15 Jan I underwent CABG x3. I was in ICU on the ventilator for 24 hours after op as there was a bleed on my chest that they needed to correct before waking me up. I was completely unaware of any of this, my first memory was a 3am phone call from

Easing pain in sternum / breast bone when coughing and sneezing.
After I had had a Triple CABG Operation done, every time that I coughed, or sneezed, which I tend to do violently my sternum / breastbone / chest hurt a lot. It was not until a physiotherapist friend had told that hugging myself would make coughing and sneezing more comfortable , that it did not hurt

Hubby having cabg X4 on Thursday
Hubby had a very mild heart attack 2 weeks ago. Kept in hospital then after a week sent to a specialist hospital in Sheffield to have angioplasty and stents. They immediately kept him in Sheffield hospital and he's having a quadruple bypass this Thursday. Feeling so scared and although they are fantastic

Amlodipine Unwanted Side Effects
Several years ago, I was put on my first ever medication for High Blood Pressure, AMLODIPINE. One of the unwanted side-effects of it was abnormal chest pain on the left side of the chest. I even had to get a GP to check me out, but he said that there was nothing wrong. Eventually, my own GP phased

Bisoprolol Experience.
On the 4th of April, 2023, I had a Triple Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Operation. I was then prescribed Bisopralol 10mg, a day, including to help control my high blood pressure. That was despite my telling the hospital doctors that that might not be suitable, because Betablocker medicines like that

Waiting time for angioplasty and stent on NHS
Hi all, can anyone advise what the rough waiting time for angioplasty and a stent is on the NHS at the moment please? I know waiting times vary widely due to location, severity etc I was just hoping to get a rough ballpark figure. Thanks!

I don’t understand!
On Friday jim was in the hospital for his 3 month internal stent replacement. Blood work all within normal range. It seems like in the last few months he was using the catheter less and less and doing so much better. No urinary tract infections any more., but a few days before the surgery he had terrible

A lot is all in the mind
I’ve had a stent and a bout of persistent AF in the last few months,had Cardioversion to sort the At. The Cardiologist asked me to reduce Bisoprolol,so last night was the first time I didn’t take it (just taking 3.7mg in the mornings now)I suppose I had some anxiety in the back of my mind going to bed

Post CABG infection at leg wound site
My husband had Triple bypass surgery on 1st Dec. Recovered really well and was looking great with minimal pain and getting stronger every day. Wounds had healed well although leg wound/scar where they took the saphenous vein was still a bit lumpy although closed, dry and healthy looking. Suddenly three

painkiller recommendations?
hi all, I hope everyone is okay. I’ve been struggling with chronic daily pain, I have severe endo which has caused one of my kidneys to fail and so I have a stent in my left kidney to help it drain. This contributes to my pain but it is mainly a deep ache in my hip, pelvis and abdomen which I’m sure

Hi All, I hope everyone’s doing well!
