fear of a heart attack
Does anybody have a fear of having a heart attack? I have always been aware of bodily sensations such as heartbeating and pay attention to when it quickens or is too slow. If I get chest pain , my first thought is my heart. I have had an ECG which was fine but worry it is unreliable as I have heard this

The health benefits of stopping smoking
Stopping smoking is the single most important thing that you can do to improve your health. That is a fact. Unfortunately, not every benefit is visible and you can be left thinking to yourself that you don't feel any different. However, there are a lot of changes going on behind the scenes that

Lipid Clinic Appointment
Had my most disappointing lipid clinic appointment in 16 years of attending. Saw a different consultant from the usual ones. When I raised concerns about angina he said "You are a 46 year old woman who doesn't smoke. I can confidently say you do not have heart disease and I am a heart doctor". How arrogant

How to cope with dry mouth?
I wonder if other people have the same problem and if so how do you cope with it? . I can only eat soft and juicy food. For example, I can only eat bread if I soak it first in my tea. I think my dry mouth is a side effect of Artane.

I use to use artane in a very weak dosage not because of Parkinson's but the Neurologist then said I can give it a try...it may just help me for what he diagnosed me for and that was

I am 47, have put weight on over the last 5 years and cholesterol slipped upwards from 3 to 7 in that time. 5'8" + 15 stone.Used to be fit!
My father and his two brothers all died of heart attacks in their late 50's as did their father. I am now experiencing chest pains relieved by Burps! occasional pains across top of chest and in tops of arms...(sometimes left sometimes right). Have experienced several times my jaw and neck spasming and

Has anyone had a Coronary Calcium Heart Scan?
Just wondering - they really intrigue me! I'm thinking of inquiring as to the cost of getting one done privately to see if/how much plaque build-up I already have. I don't have any symptoms of coronary heart disease and I'm young, so my GP/Consultant wouldn't send me for one, but it would be interesting

Is this Costochondritis (chest pain)?
I have just watched the poignant video posted and the first symptom shown was costochondritis and I wondered what other people's experiences of this were. I've never been diagnosed with it. When I've read about it, it says it goes on for weeks, but when I've had this pain it last a few seconds or minutes

IMT Scanning
A couple of months ago I was lucky enough to be offered this scan on the NHS. This technology can measure the thickness of the artery wall in your neck and see if there is any plaque. It is a good indication of the state of your coronary arteries apparently. My results have just shown that one artery

Should I be taking Statins?
I'm a 65 year old female - don't smoke or drink and I'm not obese. However, my cholesterol level has always been on the high side and I am due for another check next week. My father was diagnosed with angina in his early fifties, had his first heart attack when he was 52 and died from heart disease
