Not sure and nervous about using GTN spray
I had my heart attack on 26th and stent fitted. Surprisingly feel absolutely fine , but occasionally get a ‘gentle’ discomfort in the middle of my chest which doesn’t immediately go and am not sure whether to use GTN or not. Any advice on who it is best to ask regarding this as it’s a bank holiday ?

Home from hospital after heart attack
Short version of my story is that on Xmas evening I had a heart attack. I had to be resuscitated twice. In the ambulance and again at the hospital while they were inserting the stent. During various echo and ct scans they found a couple of abnormalities unrelated to what happened. Issues with the valves

Epigastric pain
Hi all I’m getting a dull pain in my epigastric region, that’s kind of the area just below your heart in the centre. I’ve had it for sometime how and mentioned it to the cardiologist but they don’t seem bothered as it isn’t directly my heart, even thought it started after my CABG. Im starting to wonder

Frustration with Pregabalin
My appointment with Prof. Walker at Queen Square for RLS is not until February next year, so moving to opioids is not an option until then. In the meantime, since around July (after having been on Ropinirole for 15 years), I moved to taking 300mg Pregabalin of an evening ... which I then have to top

NEURO LIFE NOW SURVEY UK
To raise awareness of the lack of medical training and the poor treatment of RLS in the UK, it would be very helpful if all UK RLS patients would complete this survey by Neuro Life Now. It's run by the Brain and Spine Foundation and they receive funding for research and treatment. Share it on other platforms

Hi, I had a heart attack 28 months ago and 3 stents in my LAD. Very surprising but not totally unexpected as despite having no risk factors bar genetics , loads of my family had heart attacks so I always thought I’d get one eventually, though not at age 66. I’m doing ok but struggle emotionally to feel

Day 14 without Ropinirole, does it ever get better?
Hi all, Thought I'd leave a bit of an update here for others to see who are going through this. Day 1: The first night and the following day were not as bad as I expected, the RLS was maybe 5 out of 10, plenty enough to stop me from sleeping but it didn't spread to my arms and chest like it had been

Weight gain on methadone?
I finally found a doctor in Sarasota who prescribes methadone. The plan is to stop Tramadol and switch to methadone. Will I gain weight - does it slow metabolism? I've been reading that some people have problems and I tend to gain weight easily. Anyone have experience? Thanks for your comments.

DOES ANYONE TAKE SONATA, LUNESTA, or RESTORIL for their RLS and if so, does it work for you?
Dr. Buchfuchrer's website list a host of drugs that have been prescribed over the years for RLS and their effects. Wondering if anyone takes either of these three for insomnia and RLS?

Risk of stroke after stent
Following HA in 2020, due to blocked RCA, Cardio interventionists tried to insert stent in 2020 but this procedure was unsuccessful. However, two cardio interventionists (at the same time) are going to try again early next year. The procedural risk includes 1:100 chance of a stroke. Generally, my condition

Help from those taking Methadone
I need a shoulder replacement and is scheduled soon. I have been taking methadone to control my RLS. When I told my surgeon that I was taking methadone, he told me that he could not manage my pain. He said that anything that he gave me wouldn’t control my pain. He suggested to ask my neurologist or go

HRT and RLS
Hello everyone, Just wanted some advice please. I have been able to reduce my dosage of Ropinirole to 1.5mg with the unexpected help of HRT. I would like to reduce further and although I need to up the HRT dose, which may help. I am considering trying Magnesium. Any advice would as always be gratefully
