Ask one of the sisters or the doctor for your medications - one of the 'perks' of being at a hospital is they usually have a fair selection of needed medications.
Please keep us posted as and when you can. ((HUGS))
I fully sympathise FB, I was in exactly the same situation as you last Wednesday evening. I started getting severe chest pain, worse than I had experienced before, and GTn spray didn't really help, so I dialled 999. After the usual tests in A&E, I was kept in overnight and seen by my cardiology doctor the next day. He said it was nothing more than a serious angina episode, and prescribed some different medication (Ranolazine). Just have to see how this goes, most of these drugs seem to disagree with me.
Meanwhile, I hope you recover quickly and return home soon.
PS the ward I was in had supplies of all my meds...
A and E will check for a heart attack and then send you home and it's good that you haven't had a heart attack but you need an appointment with a cardiologist to review your meds I hope when you speak to your cardiologist you can get more help with this.
Sorry to hear this - how are you? My husband had HA last November, STEMI and w 1 stent fitted and he started to have random angina pain on resting so we called an ambulance saturday and he has been in ever since, unfortunately suffered another HA Caused by restenosis- his body rejecting the original stent. He has had another angioplasty and hoping he can come out today. Thinking of you .
Hi Fluffybee, Wishing you a speedy diagnosis and hopefully all is ok with you and out of hospital. I had chest pains a few weeks ago, went to A&E and after 8 hours I was discharged, told to take it easy and see the cardiac nurse. I am now down for echocardiogram, reviewing my other arteries and existing stents (full metal jacket of 4 stents), possible angiogram, stress test, plus full review of meds I am on. Doctor has reviewed the letter but has a few questions before my meds are changed.
Unfortunately the blood tests revealed I had an inflamed liver : will post separately on this.
Hope you are posting back on the forum very soon. Look forward to your return.
After running all the tests etc it is looking like it's something to do with my medications which I've had problems with since my heart attack 6 months ago. All the symptoms pointed towards another HA but none of the tests backed it up. This is the 4 th time this has happened and I have been admitted to hospital only for them to say and prove that it's not a cardiac problem. Doctors seem reluctant to review my meds and try and sort this.
No problem, don't worry about it. I'm losing faith in my GP because I've seen him 6 times about this same problem and all they want to do is prescribe different stomach acid suppressants. Hopefully will be let out tomorrow but no further appointments with anyone to try and get to the bottom of this. Back to the GP again
Oh sorry I didn’t realise you were still in hospital, luckily mine was more of a pit stop and left still in pain and exactly the same as I went I’m apart from 2 paracetamol, whoopee 🙄
I got let out of hospital last night after doing a treadmill test which showed no problems at all with my heart, it was my legs that got tired first after about 12 mins but my heart was fine, more bloods that all came back fine. Released with a letter for my GP recording everything they have done and confirming it's not my heart...over to my GP now😬
Also that it’s not your heart, it’s worrying for you that you’ve got chest pain, one of the things my Gp said was it could be a problem which can mimic heart problems, so possibly worth asking about that 😱
I got a phone appointment with a different doctor at our surgery today and she suggested the pains could be caused by oesophagal spasms which give you pains under the breastbone that can be mistaken for heart attack pains. She suggested a few things to try. I already take lansaprosale and cimetidine for stomach acid suppression. Here's hoping some of this helps. Hope you get to the bottom of your problems
Really pleased you’ve managed to get to see a Dr to listen to you and talk things through. I’ve heard that stomach/ indigestion problems can be really painful and sometimes mistaken for heart conditions.
Fingers crossed these meds work, let us know how you get on 🤞🏻
