I don’t expect a reply, just want to write how things are over the last few days, I’ve whinged before so just skip past 🥴
I don’t say much to my family at all about my heart issue,
My children have ( grown up) don’t want to say much as I’m supposed to be the strong one to help them, I do sort of have another half but that’s not for much longer, so cannot speak to him, so I’m afraid I’m going to moan on here !!!!!!
I’ve had a few days of stronger pain than usual, 3 sprays spread out over a short time 20 mins or so, improves a bit but doesn’t go completely,
I’m worried as my mum died of unknown cause when 42, I was 14 at the time, so worried it’s going to happen to me.
Just hope it’s going to all go away but have some doubt of that, but I’m a positive person and think it will be sorted and get back to my old life.
That’s it moan over, going to go for my walk soon and enjoy the country views with my beautiful faithful dog 🤗🤗

What a sweet unselfish 'moan' . I have read so many of your posts and appreciate the learning curve you have given me. I so wish I had an answer that would be appropriate in relation to your condition, but I don't. You sound a very nice person and it is unfortunate that you don't have a partner to lean on and cry if necessary. I can only hope that you substantially improve over the next year but in the meantime, keep 'moaning'. Btw. Much of my pain 'episodes' only last 5 to 10 seconds. Does that sound like spasms to you ? I sometimes have my doubts.
All I can say is I know what my episodes feel like? The pain/ache and heaviness comes on quite sudden, goes across my chest, shoulders, arms and sometimes as far as my hands, I have to use at least 2 sprays to help, slowly fades away sometimes not.
Need to rest put a hot water bottle or similar on my chest not to hot just a comfortable heat, that really does help, best tip I’ve had from, mint teaplease and Milkfairy,Pauline and many others do thank you to them it’s made a big difference when other things haven’t worked.
When do you next see your cardiologist? Worth asking him or ring BHF nurses, they’re brilliant 😃
Just saw him 2 weeks ago. He is very happy with me and unless I wish to see him out of routine, then again in 5 months. So glad you have a dog for company - they can be so therapeutic.
Hi you moan away, that’s one of the things us Hearties are good at listening when one of us is having a bad day. Sorry you have had a few bad day hope you’re walk will lift your spirits. Up here in the west of Scotland it’s a beautiful morning so once my shopping order as come and I have wiped it all and put it away 😩 I will be joining you on a walk to chase away the blues.
Moan away fluffybee. Sounds like you are being strong for everyone else and not having much support for yourself. Hope the pain eases it must be hard for you.
Always good to have a moan. Bet you felt better. With all your troubles you remain positive and to your credit you get on with it. That’s what inspires others on this forum.
PS your dog 🐶 is lucky to have you. I know when I walk my dog in the morning it’s the best conversation all day 🤗😂
I’m fine really just things get to much sometimes don’t they, still on the lookout for, I think fluorescent leg warmers, Lycra leggings, I haven’t decided completely on footwear’s, but think as I live where I do, frog wellies that children have would be perfect 🥴🤭🤭 thank you 😊
Thank you 😃I love the time with my dog, she follows me everywhere, agrees with the best conversation, she listens to every word while she sniffs snd trundles along 🤗
Not sure this will help but I've needed my GTN more often the past several days - today I needed it after a too quick run through the supermarket, and I needed it right there in the store. grrrr
I think it's a mum and wife thing to not let on to the loved ones and I think in your situation it's worse owing to your loss at age14 - you know all too well what your children would go through. I added my hug to the group hug Milkfairy posted but here's another (((HUG))) for good measure.
You vent and rant and moan here all you need to, FB, we're here for you!
You’ve all been sooooo supportive and just so kind I cannot say how much it means to me, you all understand what goes through our heads and the worry that grumbles away underneath and sometimes boils over the top when it gets to much.
I know what you mean about the supermarket!!!!! I keep a spray in my bag, jacket, car etc. Sadly I’ve just washed my favourite flavoured one I left in my pocket 🥴
I hope I can be as kind and supportive to you, as you’ve been to me 🤗
Thank you for the hug, you were right the first time I think I have grown a bit, few wobbly bits here and there, I can still see my ankle bones and if you dig deep feel my ribs 😂😂😂
Now be a brave Norfolk girl You are a pretty decent person which is obvious from your posts so be strong. Easier said than done I know but it is the only way out of what can become a vicious cycle. I have adopted our neighbours Spaniel I take it for at least a couple of miles walk every day since lockdown/shielding started.
Not to sure if my neighbours are now 100% happy I collected the Dog today and it was playing up the owner I just said " Stay and Sit and it obeyed instantly when it's owner said it won't do that for us !!!
Mind you I do have a pretty decent conversation with it most days, that's the dog not the neighbour LOL.
So hugs from a Grandad. One of my favourite songs is " Easy Like a Sunday Morning " I can just relax on hearing it. Try to find something that will help you relax it's Easy Like a Sunday Morning !!!
You really are so lovely 😊 what a kind thing to say and wise words.
You sound like the perfect neighbour. You can move in next door and help me with my spaniel 🤭
I talk to my dog all the time I’m with her, when I’m cooking she’s on a chair near me and watches me cook and I tell her all the ingredients I’m using etc she loves it, especially when the result comes out of the oven !!!!
You’ve got a very lucky family having you in their lives. Big squishy hug back and thank you for messaging me 🤗🤗
Hi Fluffybee, I was just reading your post and worrying that you should really get that pain checked out further. I lost my dad when he was 47 and I used to fear also that I wouldnt make it past that age, but I did. My mum lived to 91 but sadly 4 months after she died my brother died suddenly too. Only a year later whilst I was still checking my own health out I had a heart event and last August had two stents inserted. I was very lucky but yet like many I would rather not habe been in this CVD club. Having said that I'm a year on from all that now and though I feel I can never feel in myself as I did before, I'm better adjusted to it all. I think you shouldn't ignore that type of pain, where the GTN is not taking it away. Please get it checked to be sure.
