[Alexa445]

Hi all! How can you treat or relief pains if you had a heart attack few months ago at 28 years old??i have read that this tablets like nurofen,ibuprofen and cold&flu tablets are forbidden for patients with heart issues.😞

Paracetamol - if you can find any! Cocodamol if you must but beware the codeine!

I brought the last pack of 16 in my local Waitrose to replenish my megre stock that was depleted after my wisdom tooth extraction!

[Alexa445 in reply to MichaelJH]

So paracetamol is the best one?is it working for tooth pain?

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Alexa445]

Yes it worked for post extraction pain as it felt like Ali had caught me with a right hook! 🥊

Pound shop

Have had then in all week

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Rose54]

Cheaper in 99p shop if they have them!

[Rose54 in reply to MichaelJH]

Are thier any 99p shops left

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Rose54]

Yes there is a chain called Sam's 99p. We don't have one but there ones in Luton, Harrow and other locations. I have only been in one once but thought the quality better than Poundland.

Why have to beware the Codeine?.I mean I know Co-Codamol is strong I too one before and knocked me off my feet abit and then quite abit after that I had really really bad dental pain and at first was strong but then I got immune to it I was taking it alongside Para for about a week and had to have rests in between.

[stevejb1810 in reply to Chronic25_Catlover]

Codeine is an opiate and is addictive. It can also cause constipation, which I suggest most people would rather avoid. It is though, a very good painkiller

[Chronic25_Catlover in reply to stevejb1810]

Yeah I know it's a strong one and I'm wasn't addicted and was wary even though would of took more and more often as pain was that bad

[Maisie2014]

Boots have plenty of paracetamols if you ask for them

[Alexa445 in reply to Maisie2014]

Is it working for tooth pain?

[Maisie2014]

I think if Ali has given you a right hook you’d need more than paracetamol Michael 🤪

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Maisie2014]

I would now but thirty years ago I was a similar size and fit so might have needed the left to finish me off!

[Chronic25_Catlover]

Hey sorry to hear you had a h.a pretty young I'm 25 and had a Heart op 5 years ago so can understand and fear for myself having a h.a at anytime.I'm so glad you've recovered yeah it sucks don't it i get colds alot and I'm always having to check back of meds all I use is Paracetamol and Co-Codamol for pain relief and them oral sore throat meds and Jackmans cough sweets

[Chronic25_Catlover]

Yeah apparently Ibruprofen is a big no which sucks as it's an inflammatory painkiller ,I had the children's one when came out hospital which surprised about but maybe being children's was just low dosage and short period so was safe.However an ex colleague has a Heart condition and Pacemaker and she takes it but yeah I didn't even know till one chat with a general nurse said it's a hard no and did online research so I tend to stay away if I can.Yeah it really sucks cause I have no idea what I can have so I take Paras and Co Codamol if real bad pain and did have an NT spray but I had low BP and may have become dangerous me to take.Sorry I ain't much help hun but I can sympathise and hope you recovering well.♡

[Alexa445]

But what about Panadol??is that same with Paracetamol??
