Hi, I suffer with Heart Failure and COPD and recently having problems with sleeping at night. I am considering trying CBD oil as I believe it helps the problem. Trouble is I don't know the first thing about it. Can anyone in the UK put me on the right track, Thanks.🥱

I am sorry you are having problems sleeping. It's exhausting, I know. I don't sleep well as my type of angina wakes me at night.

Before using CBD oil, I suggest you speak to your GP, Cardiologist, Heart Failure Nurse Specialist or a Pharmacist.

The CBD oil could interact with your medications. The carrier oil could also contain substances that affect your heart too.

Have you discussed with a healthcare professional your difficulty sleeping ?

Thanks for your reply, I was lucky enough to actually speak to my GP on the phone last Friday. He said he would refer me to my heart nurse. A week gone and still waiting so getting desperate. As you say it's terrible not being able to sleep. Thankyou.

Hi Grayjay, before you go down that route, listen to this BBC programme. Only 30 minutes.
