Chronic Health Conditions Discussion and Support

maybe seven years ago. He was about 64 when he had it. My dad had quintuple bypass a year later at about age 89. Each had a different experience. Dad didn't have nearly the pain my husband did. The surgeon said that wasn't uncommon to have less pain when older.

They had the same surgeon, who was top-notch. My husband was able to come home 4-5 days later, Dad perhaps 6-7.

There were new procedures being piloted then and perhaps your husband's experience will benefit from new developments.

My husband quickly felt much better than he had in a long time even before his chest healed. He was having severe long-lasting migraines because he had 80 percent blockage. With so little blood flow getting through to bring oxygen and nutrition to the cells and remove wastes, that was the cause of his migraines. We'd never made the connection between migraines and heart before then.

I wish you both the very best.
