Speedy recovery
Exactly. My sister waited too late for surgery. She passed suddenly last year. Ask your cardiologist how urgent is your case. My cardiologist gave me a time frame for my stent procedure as I had just started a new job last year.You should op while you are still mobile. Need to be fit for an easier post op recovery.
I see use transesophageal echocardiogram and open mouth use scope check go through heart also got some pain.My brother did this via the mouth to check for clots. This was a few months after his open heart surgery. Complicated story. All turns out well. Today he has decided to fully retire, exercises and cooks his own meals as much as possible.
Stent is simple. But after that needed to eat blood thinner for the rest of your life.Exactly. My sister waited too late for surgery. She passed suddenly last year. Ask your cardiologist how urgent is your case. My cardiologist gave me a time frame for my stent procedure as I had just started a new job last year.
You might right now I still can go back work as normal.You should op while you are still mobile. Need to be fit for an easier post op recovery.
Did you stop work before surgery?Exactly. My sister waited too late for surgery. She passed suddenly last year. Ask your cardiologist how urgent is your case. My cardiologist gave me a time frame for my stent procedure as I had just started a new job last year.
Yes think 1 day need go through surgeryI think most doctors will not encourage surgery unless it's compulsory to make thing worse![]()
During operation there is risk see how big the issue...Had it done in NUH. Some complications during the surgery . There was excessive bleeding. Part of heart and lungs got stuck together due to the last surgery so cannot fix another problem of irregular heartbeat. Thanks
Yes, operation was tough. No need to take out the heart. They will stop your heart and lungs, put you on a heart and lung machine. Expected to stay in hospital for 7 days but extended to 14 days due to resting heartbeat going too high (158) - and then too low (28)I discovered 5 yrs ago but dare not go and they told me I am still young not like in 60s so my heart valve can repair if come worse need use animal valve or mechanical valve replacement.
Are the operation tough
Heard need take out heart do repair and stay 1 week in hospital after surgery![]()
Yes, rapid heartbeat even at rest, dizziness, consistent jaw pain that is not due to dental issues, pain radiating from arm can be warning signs of heart issues. I come from a family with cardiovascular disease.
Side note: so finally my youngest sibling went for an angiogram as all the older ones have had heart bypass. This sibling eats fried food EVERY DAY and drinks bubble tea EVERY DAY. Guess what? No blockage and no hardening of arteries. Calcium score zero.
I am really speechless. But of course there is still the possibility of blockage at the neck and brain, which she didn't check.
But I am like...is there a reason a higher being is protecting her?
Orh... I thought she underwent 4 times due to dunno what reason.She experienced chest pain very badly but no one was at home. She seemed neighbour for help.
4 blood vessels blockage. Did all 4 by-pass AT ONE GO
So MC is 3 monthYes, operation was tough. No need to take out the heart. They will stop your heart and lungs, put you on a heart and lung machine. Expected to stay in hospital for 7 days but extended to 14 days due to resting heartbeat going too high (158) - and then too low (28)
The endocarditis did more damage to my heart than the scans detected, surgeon had to pair the damage part of the heart with cow tissue before they can secure the mechanical valve.
Lucky to be alive, wife have to manage me and my children while I am down. hospitalisation leave is 3 months for the ribs to heal.
Last time in army during reservist want keng downgrade but no medical history.I think most doctors will not encourage surgery unless it's compulsory to make thing worse![]()
my father late 50s passed on from a cardiac arrest earlier this year while doing HIIT. He did a heart bypass surgery too.Sad case.....this week , a friend passed away.
Only 43 , married with 3 kids.
Got to know that deceased was diagnosed with leaking valve in heart. But refused to go for operation as he worried complications of operation. After sending all kids to school, not long after he just collapsed and passed on.
I read up more about valve leaking. This would lead to cardiac arrest.
Then howIf anyone experience symptoms, better do CT scan for heart . Sometimes ECG can't check much. I myself knew I have mild issue in my valve issue but ECG always showed reading ok. But chest always feel tight whenever i run . Last time during school days, couldn complete 2.4km as chest in tight n breathless. pE teach always forced me to run and my chest felt even tighter. Now I knew the reason why after consulting a cardiologist
