My father suffers with AF and although I consider him fit for an 81 year old, more recently he has experienced increased periods of breathlessness (even when doing very little) and occassional chest spasms.
We know other people who use GTN as a result of a heartattack or angina but my question is, does anyone have any experience of using it when the underlying condition is AF? Is it safe?
Thank you...

This is a question which should be addressed to a medical professional - GP or cardiologist.
Best wishes to you and your father. It sounds as if the breathlessness and chest pain need checking out as soon as possible.
As Havemercy has said, this is important to check with your Dr.
Has your father been diagnosed with CLL? Is he being treated?
Hi,
Thank you for your comments. He is on medication for his AF but I've spoken to him today and he's going to go to the doctors to see what they have to say.
Thanks again.
