I would suggest to talk to your GP or Heart Consultant please! I took this medication after my heart attack for 1 year as prescribed from my heart surgeon! I admit lately the hot weather doesn't help and I still work in a warm humid restaurant kitchen! Have felt sickly on my way home today and after tea I had some sleep! Not feeling 100% today!

But please contact your GP Stuartglass61 on Monday! Hope you get a good night 👍☺️

I take ticagrelor. A bit of chest discomfort sometimes but that’s not uncommon apparently and not to worry so I don’t. Main issue I have is that I’m covered in bruises. Think I ought to ask about that.

Hi you can shift to clopidoril plavix after consultation with cardiologist, however chest tightness can be due to gastric problems due to aspirin discuss with cardiologist!

I had to stop ticagrelor. It felt as if my chest tightened so much I was having an asthma attack but of course I wasn't and was breathing normally. Consultant changed it to clopidogrel
