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

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

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

Squalene Monooxygenase

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

Long haul travel tips, please.
Long haul travel tips, please. Recent diagnosis of Atrial Flutters and Fibrillation and “may have” microvascular angina. Meds are Bisoprolol, Apixaban, Atorvastatin (and GTN spray which I’ve never needed) Thank you to those who recently responded to my query re travel insurance – I’m now seeking advice

Can't get Movicol in
Hi, new here & have read many threads - super helpful, so thank you to all that take the time to reply. My 3yr old boy is withholding after being constipated a few weeks ago. The constipation caused a haemorrhoid so I guess that is now causing pain for him :( Thinking back, prior to the consitpation

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
