Vasospastic Spasm (Coronary Artery Spasm)
Can I ask Milk Fairy and Tos especially (and of course any others) their understanding of the significance of the timing and length of the spasm? Most of what I read says things like most usually between 00.00 - 08.00 for example with episodes of up to 15 mins maybe 30 mins? But I notice on the relevant

Coronary artery spasm
I've been recently diagnosed with
coronary
artery
spasm
and already read a few posts on here about it. I'm taking isosorbide mononitrate 20mg twice daily and put on atorvastation 80mg and 75mg aspirin. I was already taking propranolol for anxiety and lansoprazole for acid reflux.

coronary artery spasm
As pain still continued I went back and saw cardiologist who has diagnosed
Coronary
Artery
spasm
and has put me on amlodipine. Does anyone else have this? I’m quite worried.

Change of meds
I have been taking isosorbide mononitrate for
coronary
artery
spasm
but recently changed to amlodipine following the cardiologists discharge notes. Obviously I need to give the new meds time to work after 10 days of taking them. The symptoms still come and go and can feel my heart sensations more.

Hmm...I've done the calculations and I think I've figured it out
If you can't see the link, the condition is
Coronary
artery
spasm
. (Also when you're sick and you have to spend money on extra shopping etc. BOY does it get expensive. I just looked at my bank account and almost fell over😆).

Microvascular Angina

coronary
artery
spasm

Recurrence of coronary artery spasm
Yet another trip to A&E. Fortunately spasm didn't result in increase in troponin levels so after monitoring me for entire day recommendation was to add isosorbide mononitrate to daily cocktail of drugs. I have three questions please: 1. Has anyone struggling with this condition found an ideal cocktail

Is there a difference between an NSTEMI and a MINOCA?
Despite my diagnosis reports saying I had an NSTEMI, he mentioned in the recent meeting with him that I had a MINOCA (myocardial infarction in non-obstructed
coronary
arteries) as a result of my
coronary
artery
spasm
.

After angiogram
He is of the opinion that I possibly have “
coronary
artery
spasm
or oesophageal spasm.” Day 2 of taking the tablet and I do feel lightheaded but that is a common side effect and it might take 2 weeks to get used to the tablets!

Reliance on Codeine
Following CABG five weeks ago I still have a lot of pain in my left leg where the vein was removed. I manage this through 2 paracetamol 4 times a day and 1 codeine tablet twice a day, having just reduced from 2 codeine tablets twice a day. This keeps me just on top of the pain. I'm wondering how

Managing the wait for CABG
When my husband had his pacemaker upgrade to a CRT pacemaker at the beginning of February , cardiac failure and arteriosclerosis of the carotid arteries was detected. The Cardiac Failure nurse is optimising the mediation for the cardiac failure and the cardiothoracic surgeon has met us and a CABG /

It's my turn now....
I've been on the waiting list since November '23 and now this afternoon I am being admitted to hospital for a CABG x5 tomorrow (12th April) - hopefully no last minute cancellation. Had a heart attack and stents back in 2019 and was blue lighted into hospital so no time to think about what was happening

Dentists
Hi everyone-I am due to have CABG July/August. I have a routing check up at dentist this month. I have read somewhere of a link between teeth/gums and heart disease. What are the risks, if any? Is there any chance of dental treatment delaying the heart operation? Thanks

Burning pain in right armpit (CABG 10/18/23)
Hi everybody!I had my CABG done last Oct and was wondering if anyone else has experienced a burning shooting pain in one or both of their armpits? It started about a month or so ago in my right armpit and has continously gotten a little stronger over time.
