New here with ???'s
Hi, First to quickly introduce ourselves, My hubby had a CABG X4 on the 12th of May the day after his 54th b-day. He's having problems with depression, fears as simple as falling asleep and whether he will ever be as he says normal again. One thing thats agravating him is the clicking he has in his chest. He mentioned it to the surgeon who said it was just a part of the healing process. But then I read the post in here after doing a search about it being a sign of the wires maybe loosening? I'm not sure what to think now. He just finally went for his evaluation to get insurance aproval to start a cardiac rehab program (12 weeks 3X a week) at our local hospital. I'm really hoping that will also do him some good emotionally as well as the obvious physical benefits. I'm thrilled to find this group and look forward to reading posts of suggestions Hugs Bill & Jenn
Clicking in the chest *may* be a sign that the sternum is not healing properly or the wires are not tight enough to hold the sternum rigid until it begins to heal over. If you are still concerned, it would be a good idea to get it checked out, preferably by the surgeon since he is the one who put the wires in. 'AL'
