After my bypass surgery, I am having heavy bleeding during my periods. Could there be a connection?
Most patients are on blood thinners following bypass surgery. These may include antiplatelet medicines like aspirin, Plavix, Brlinta or anticoagulants like Coumadin or Eliquis. Any of these medicines might make your periods heavier. You should speak to your doctor about this to see if any adjustments need to be made to your medical regimen. READ MORE
Would LAD lesion cause tachycardia?
If your resting heart rate is in the 130s, you may have an abnormal heart rhythm such as atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. This could be readily evaluated by an electrocardiogram and visit with a Cardiologist. Your 65% lad lesion is unlikely to be the cause of the fast heart rate. READ MORE
What could be the reason for low hemoglobin after a bypass surgery?
It is unlikely that your mother's persistently low hemoglobin is related to heart surgery two years ago. One can be transiently anemic after surgery, but usually within a few months the body has replenished the hemoglobin to a normal level. There are many reasons for anemia, including bone marrow issues which might limit production, subtle bleeding from the intestines or bladder which cause persistent blood loss or breakdown of blood cells within the body. It would be helpful for her doctors to explore some of these etiologies to try to discover the reason for her low hemoglobin. READ MORE
Don't want to have surgery for enlarged heart--any other options?
Options available very much depend on your diagnosis, since a heart can be enlarged for multiple reasons. For example, if you have valve disease ( your heart has four one way valves to keep blood moving in the right direction) that can cause an enlarged and weak heart. In certain instances then, medicine can help but if the disease is severe, then surgery is usually more effective. Or you may have an enlarged heart from weakened heart muscle. When medical therapy for heart failure is no longer effective, then once again surgery has a role. I encourage you to speak with your doctor to make sure you understand the problem with your heart so you can make informed choices for treatment. I wish you all the best. READ MORE
