A huge Thank You and rash update
I want to thank everybody who supported and reassured me on my post two days ago. Thank you all for sharing your own experiences with me and to Barbara and Kat for sharing photos of their rashes which did suggest it was indeed a Lupus rash I had, as I’d suspected, when it looked so similar and was running

Question about use of Glyceryl Trinitrate
Recently been diagnosed as Anemic. Its affecting my heart. Does anyone know if using the above frequently, say 2 to 3 times a day causes the heart to weaken further or is it safe to do so in the long run?

Stable Angina or Microvascular? Should I ask for further tests?
Hello Was diagnosed with stable angina on Monday after a couple of episodes running (chest pain, clammy, shaky). I've had an ECG today (all clear) and bloods taken. The doctor on Monday basically signed me off (that's what it felt like) and told me not to worry too much (easier said than done) and

GTN Spray or tablets?...
Hi. I'm due to go away for 3 months to a very hot area without Aircon or refrigeration. I not on my GTN spray it has a temperature storage range and I'll not be able to meet that range - it will be too hot. Would I be better off with tablets? Incidentally I've not had to use the spray once since a stent

It’s gone a bit pear shaped
I posted the other day about having a stress echo, I knew it hadn’t gone well after all it lead to an angina attack. I’ve been having mild chest pains ever since my quadruple CABG last June which I thought would improve but it hasn’t. My surgeon called me today to tell me it looks like there is a problem

Angina or not
Please can one some one explain if angina is always chest pain related. Since my Stents in Sept 2022 I have been having pain both arms neck and shoulders. I went into A&E once only after that and they said it was muscoskeletal pain. All the tests showed no HA. Also at what point do I take GTN spray if

GTN Spray
Hello, I am new here. Hoping everyone is well :) I had a question regarding the GTN spray. I do not use it frequently however, whenever I do, I have noticed that my BPM (heart rate) accelerates quite quickly and is up and down for the first 10 mins or so. Is this a normal response to the spray as I

hi all, I,m feeling a bit confused.
I had HA and 1 stent (LAD) in Oct 2020. At the time my ef was 37% . I was told this was the only blockage but left with some damage to my heart. In march last year I had a heart scan and recieved a letter in May stating my heart was nearly back to normal, great news. Then in December I started to get

micro vascular angina good news!
Hi All, I hope everyone’s doing well! I was walking on the beach with my wife and suffered a crushing chest pain (worse than the pain I had had with my previous two MI’s) shortness of breath and sweating. I used my GTN spray twice but it had no effect. I was blue lighted to hospital. All test proved

Statin Chest Pain
after an angiogram last September which showed clear the cardiologist instructed me to come off pre-cautionary nitrates and I was told to stay on 40mg Atorvastatin and commence Diltiazem 2 x 60mg per day as well as one Aspirin 75mg. Although not tested cardiologist thinks I have Microvascular angina

A Hospital admission and another failed attempt at a CT Angiogram 😥
Hello All, It's me again. I apologise for posting so regularly in the last few weeks. It's been an eventful week 😕 I was admitted to the hospital on Saturday night. I had chest pain, left arm pain and a very high heart rate. I panicked and called an ambulance. I was told it could be a 40 minutes

Living with presumed myocarditis which turned out to be MI
Sorry for this long post. I couldn't think how to make it shorter. I've found it hugely helpful to read the posts on this forum so I thought I'd reach out to seek some support and wisdom. My husband was fit and active (we enjoyed leisure cycling 15-20 miles, walking, gardening etc) until Oct '21. A

Pins and needles feeling
It all started on Tuesday. I had a bloated feeling and thought it was trapped wind? Took a Windeze and it seemed to help that feeling but then got a tingling in my face which was weird this then progressed to my shoulder's, arms and chest. It then seemed to ease and I just carried on. It was an effort

unstable angina
We have a friend who has unstable angina and has been in hospital countless times but nothing happens other than being given intravenous gtn and morphine. He also has low blood pressure which prevents him being given medication that may help but would lower his blood pressure causing dizziness. Has
