Introduction - coronary heart disease

[Bayreuther78]

Hi - I've just had diagnosis of coronary heart disease confirmed. Thought I might need a stent but not so. Bisoprobol (beta blocker). Mild angina: upper back and shoulders, chest tension. Looking to share experiences.

Hello and welcome! Are you on any other medication besides the Bisoprolol. I had angina for 16 months before I had my bypass (unstentable due to calcification).

[Bayreuther78 in reply to MichaelJH]

Hello. Yes I'm on avorostatin and aspirin, also amlodopine and indapamide for high blood pressure. No stent required because flow is not impeded.

Have you been told you will see a cardiac rehab nurse for follow up advice? I think you would find it reassuring and helpful

[Bayreuther78 in reply to Qualipop]

No I'm not being followed up by cardiology, just by GP for medication.

For now I'm happy to see how I get on in the next few weeks. They said after my angiogram that the diagnosis was 'good news'.
