Undergoing a double mastectomy with Coronary Artery Disease and a previous heart attack
Hi. Has anyone had a double mastectomy whilst on aspiring and heart meds? I am having surgery soon and worried about the risk of being overweight, having had a previous heart attack and Coronary Artery disease. I have read that these all increase the risk of another heart attack after the operation which is terrifying me. Love to hear anyone's experience of this. Thanks!

- Thankyou Abby. They are doing a stress test and are aware so feeling alot more confident. I will definately be making lifestyle changes after the surgery. Thanks so much for responding, hope you are well.
- I'm sorry you have to deal with this.
How urgent are your Mastectomies?
Have you been able to make lifestyle changes?
I'm sure that you will be having a preop Anaesthetic check.
They will certainly advise re anticoagulants.
Wishing you all the best for your future and surgery.
