Nicorandil reaction
Recently went to hospital for chest pain, all test ok on paper, never had a bad ecg even with heart attacks. They put me on Nicorandil 10mg twice a day. I had been on it before, cardiologist took me off it 20mg twice a day after last stent in Feb. This time I had massive headaches, for 2 days, nothing

Foods that "reduce" glutamate
As I am trying to reduce sedating Pregabalin dosage, I noticed that blueberries are a good food, not only OKAY but actually react to glutamate in a positive way. I don't understand all of the mechanisms but then I googled "foods that reduce glutamate" and found interesting info. One thing, for example

Liver Stent/Tips
Hi, I had a tips in May 2022, within 6 weeks it failed and I had urgent surgery to correct it in July 2022. I've been told my new TIPS is very big. Since then I have felt absolutely amazing. However, past week I've had a build up of ascities - not huge but enough to see my weight increase by 7lbs. I

RLS study
just completed phase 1 of an RLS study of a wearable e-stim device for RLS. For me, redults were mixed. Worked well on Right leg which has much milder symptoms than the left. The left did not respond well to the continuous stim. When I’ve used TNS in the past, a modulated wave form was more effective

How do you know your circadian rhythm?
This week I will be starting methadone, which may be the answer for me. If effective, it would give me a chance to change my sleeping pattern from 4am to noon to something more normal. My question is this: How do I determine what my current circadian rhythm is? It might be that I actually am still

Thought of the day - B12 paradox
Like many aspects of life that we're all trying to grapple with, good health comes from a very fine balance. There is no 'one way' to do things, but a sweet spot in the middle. And I believe it's the same with diet, in particular B12. B12 is a regulator of homocysteine. Low B12 is a driver for high

encouraging someone to be active and enjoy live
hello, after a little advice as to how to help encourage my mum to be more active and to get out there and enjoy things.

Pramipexole supplies
Festive greetings to fellow sufferers…… I have been having difficulties in getting my Pramipexole prescription lately. Pharmacy2U say their suppliers have said that they are out of stock of this drug and I now find many local pharmacies are too! I have been using Lloyds Princess Risborough just recently

Blockage near junction
I had may angiogram today. One significant blockage was detected. The consultant said that the blockage is near the junction of two arteries and therefore he is not allowed to immediately fit a stent until he consults with the medical committee. He did not explain [i]

Targin and pregabalin
for the last three years I use Targin10/5 mg and 75mg pregabalin it works for 75% at the moment But the 25% what is left is very bad when in full blow nothing helps any more and life is not worth living. My question is would medicinal cannabis at that time help ?

Should I accept a stent?
I might be offered a stent after my angiogram tomorrow. Upon reading this article I'm not sure if I should go for it : https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/nih-funded-studies-show-stents-surgery-no-better-medication-lifestyle-changes-reducing-cardiac-events

More angina when walking
Hi all, I've started to get angina again when I walk and I'm worried my artery is blocking again. Just as a quick background had stent Oct 2021 for 99% blockage LAD artery. My symptoms were pain on walking. Pains never went away and in fact got much worse. November 21 had another stent for 99% blockage

Not sure and nervous about using GTN spray
I had my heart attack on 26th and stent fitted. Surprisingly feel absolutely fine , but occasionally get a ‘gentle’ discomfort in the middle of my chest which doesn’t immediately go and am not sure whether to use GTN or not. Any advice on who it is best to ask regarding this as it’s a bank holiday ?

Unusual odour
Good evening , i need to ask if anyone since going on medication seems to have a sense of an odour as my wife disclosed to me she has smelt it too on me.

Epigastric pain
Hi all I’m getting a dull pain in my epigastric region, that’s kind of the area just below your heart in the centre. I’ve had it for sometime how and mentioned it to the cardiologist but they don’t seem bothered as it isn’t directly my heart, even thought it started after my CABG. Im starting to wonder

Home from hospital after heart attack
Short version of my story is that on Xmas evening I had a heart attack. I had to be resuscitated twice. In the ambulance and again at the hospital while they were inserting the stent. During various echo and ct scans they found a couple of abnormalities unrelated to what happened. Issues with the valves

Frustration with Pregabalin
My appointment with Prof. Walker at Queen Square for RLS is not until February next year, so moving to opioids is not an option until then. In the meantime, since around July (after having been on Ropinirole for 15 years), I moved to taking 300mg Pregabalin of an evening ... which I then have to top
