Low Salt Cheddar Cheese
Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone knows of any low salt cheddar cheese? I need to go on a low salt/sodium diet and I love cheddar cheese but not so keen on the soft cheeses. Thanks

Possible angina after triple bypass?
Approximately 2 1/2 years ago I was told I had Barrets Oesophagus and a hernia. Since that prognosis I have been getting acid reflux symptoms daily (heartburn and what feels like an uncomfortable pressure around my throat). Have also been on Lansoprazole/Rabeprazole with acid PH levels very low. Had

PSA in lower range, yet PSMA PET SCAN shows diffuse bone Metastasis
Dear all , my father latest Total PSA level shows 6.24 which is down after touching 10.45.

Nicotine and GTN
Hi all, I have another of my pondering questions. Nicotine I'm led to belive constricts the blood vessels whereas the GTN Spray opens everything up. So...if you have taken a GTN puff and then use a Vape does it negate the benefit of the GTN Spray and if so to what degree?Thanks

Post Operative Steroids
I am now home after having a new knee fitted. They kept me in an extra night due to being in surgery much longer than anticipated and low sodium levels, so saline drip overnight. I am guessing I was given more anaesthesia than planned, I am finding that I am more tired than I've ever felt. I can

Anyone taking nitroglycerin for angina?
If so, did the nitroglycerin ever trigger an afib episode, or another arrhythmia? Thanks. Jim

Vasospastic angina pain relief
Hi folks, Just wondering if anyone has been prescribed decent pain relief to take at home instead of having to call an ambulance? I’ve been admitted 5 times in the last 14 months with severe pain due to VSA which the GTN didn’t touch. Mine can last almost all day and go on for several days at a time
