Second Stent
So in 2019 I had a stent after HA. Now four years later getting tightness cross chest, can still walk up 3 steps of stairs ok. Once I stop out walking it settles down again. I’m also asthmatic. My question is has any had a second stent that resolved this. I take glycerin spray once a month. thanks

Heart meds problem airport security
I have just read an alarming report of a woman being stopped and questioned by airport security because apparently her heart meds contain traces of an ingredient which is also used in making explosives- nitroglycerin. Anyone else in this position should be aware in case they encounter the same situation

Hi Everyone and thanks for all your replys to my previous post. My Wife ended up phoning for an Ambulance at 01:30 this morning as I couldn't breathe or feel my legs. I used my GTN SPRAY but didn't help. Anyway the Ambulance man was brilliant he did all the checks and was talking to my wife about me.

Was found to have seriously low sodium levels..Hyponatremia...Dr said caused by my high BP medication which was discontinued thankful my sodium levels returned to normal. My Dr is not happy to prescribe any high BP med as on checking they can all cause low sodium levels. Am worried about my situation

It's starting out a better year for me.
For the first time since my accident I had a blood test that came back a lot more positive for me than it is. Since i had my TBI i have been having my blood tests done nearly every month which always came back low for sodium. I was diagnosed with SIADH and i changed my diet by myself to help my sodium

MV Angina - Beaty fluttery heart when eating and drinking
I was diagnosed last year with MV angina and put on tildium and aspirin with GTN spray as a side order to use when needed. All has been relatively ok until past couple of days - when eating or drinking it feels like palpitations(?) a very heavy beaty chest and almost breathlessness sensation. It passes

Feeling cold despite overactive thyroid
I feel the cold all the time but GPs can't seem to find an issue. I'm currently in a heated home with three jumpers and two pairs of socks on, plus a blanket! GP did full blood tests, showing an overactive thyroid but all other tests within range (detailed below). I take 100mcg Levothyroxine a day and

Update to Feeling overwhelmed
Apologies for the long post. I was referred to the Rapid Access Chest Pain clinic by my GP as she is unsure if my chest pain and breathlessness is down to my lung conditions or if I have angina. I attended the clinic 2 weeks ago and was referred for a heart CT angiogram where they inject a contrast
