Felt heaviness on my chest. Finally a stress test led to surgery the next day, which went well.

I had a 5 bypass on 07/27/07

Not good; no warning of the problem, pain does not seem to go away. Don't have any energy and all I want to do is sit and cry, which won't help.

still here been 5yrs since the surgery.

scary first i had no clue as to what was going on had this same pain going on for a couple of years tfound out it was unstableangina then heart attack i was in the hospital when it happened doctors gave me blood thinners had me rushed to cleveland clinic where i had a bad reaction to the thinners and was bleeding internaly so no angioplasty or stents i couldnt have done to me cause of my reaction but as it turned out the blockage was to bad so i had to have bypass done its been about 4 months

All of the metal from the coronary stents are still in my heart. I'm allergic to them. Restinosis is tissue growth. NOT PLAGUE buildup. Tissue growth is what your body does to try and rid itself of the allergy.

had bypass after 2 stents closed, it closed up 2 wks late, so back to stents, so far so good

both grafts failed.worst experience I've ever had. Paralyzed vocal cords for 7 mo.

bypass grafts closed in 5 months
