Hello

[Johast]

Hi I’m new on here, had a mild heart attack this Tuesday. After echo and angiogram told no blockages and valves working well.

Sent home Thursday with loads of meds.

Felt ok so perhaps did too much walking about and chatting with family at home.

Got another chest pain not bad like attack. But still not good. Took my first ever GTN spray and pain went after a few minutes. Really scary. Is it normal to get some chest pain like this?

Hi Gunsmoke123,

Thanks for the reply. They said probably a clot, although no blockage there is moderate atheroma though not flow limiting in LAD, and the clot then dispersed.

Just trying to use google and get my head around the terminology!

Doctor Google can be misleading. Use the BHF and NHS websites to get more accurate information. I use nutritionfacts.org/ and get an email from them every day about the latest nutritional research, e.g. a very good one yesterday about ginger and diabetes.

Good advice. Many thanks

Hang on a minute Jimmy, that makes no sense at all.

The nutritionfacts organisation has nothing to do with the British Heart Foundation, nor with the NHS.

Nutritionfacts makes claims that are disputed by both the BHF and the NHS, for example Nutritionfacts say that eating a strict plant based diet can reverse heart disease, but the BHF and NHS say no it can't and recommend a different diet, a Meditaranean diet that allows modest amounts of diary, meat, and fish to be eaten.

"Nutritionfacts say that eating a strict plant based diet can reverse heart disease" - I am evidence that it can. There are many others.

I don’t think there is any scientific evidence for such clains which are misleading and dangerous.

This website is full of scientific evidence: nutritionfacts.org/
