Wardija Wardija - Update Clear as Mud !

So, went to meet my Cardiologist yesterday in relation to my lack of response to both my isosorbide medication and my GTN spray for my stable Angina.

Consultant said it was very odd, especially that I was using the spray and getting no relief at all. So Cardiologist said that there must be something else going on.

Whilst there, BP was taken, 3 different times and all read as low BP, which is not normal for me. Because of this, Cardiologist was not comfortable in tweaking any of my meds.

So the plan is this: I was given an urgent appointment for Tuesday when I'm going to have full blood count screeing, a cardio stress echo and another MRI. An appointment has been pre-booked for the next day, for a further angiogram.

Told to go home and rest-up over the weekend, do nothing that requires any exertion and refrain from driving, if at all possible.

So it's the sofa, TV and PJ'S for me this weekend. I'm nervous as to what's to come next and my mind is whirling, imagining all sorts . . . But it'll be what it will be, so I might as well stop stressing and enjoy my relaxing weekend - and bring out the popcorn ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐Ÿฟ ๐Ÿ˜Š

Happy weekend to all โ˜บ

It's really hard to do very little when you are told to. If you have any calming hobbies now is the moment to get them out. Or look out a good book or four. Take care and let us know how you get on. Hopefully where you are the weather is still good and you could sit outside for a bit.

Thank you for your message. Yes, that's the way I am thinking too, by the end of next week I'm hoping things will be clearer and hopefully resolved. I'll keep the forum updated, everyone has been so supportive.

Take care โ˜บ

Yes please do say how you get on.

It is encouraging that your Cardiologist is listening.

Not what you're looking for?
