Annual health ( Cardio ) Check
Hi all Nstemi and 1 stent fitted March 2020, have had telephone conversation with Cardiologist along the lines of ‘ how are you ‘. replying ‘ I’m ok thanks ‘ and no more contact with any doctors since ( Cardiac Rehab completed). My question is, should I be having an annual cardio health check at GP

Statin and liver damage?
I came online to see if anyone had odd liver tests from statins. Specifically atorvastatin. I had to go for an abdominal scan today and had a lot of blood tests, I’m on 40 mg of atorvastatin. And have been on them for nearly a year since I found out I had HD and had a stent last summer. I only had LFT

Pains in chest
Was sitting watching tv last night felt pain in chest when I breath in deeply, and uncomfortable on moving, slightly to the left hand side of chest I can actually put a finger on the point that is painful, it feels like a rib rather than the heart. Had a HA and stent fitted early last May and another

Should I use GTN spray?
Occasionally I have ‘Pain’ (more like cramp) in left forearm but not in chest. I have recently diagnosed unstable Angina and 1 stent fitted and waiting for #2. Should I use GTN SPRAY?

Telling my car insurer about my recent cardiac arrest.
I went to A&E with chest pains on the 16th of April, where I was whisked to Wythenshawe University Hospital catheter lab, where I arrested and was revived after 8 minutes. A stent and a balloon and I'm fine again - walking, mowing the lawn and light cycling. Apparently I don't need to inform the DVLA
