GTN spray
I am awaiting an angiogram and have been prescribed GTN which I use as and when needed. I do however get palpitations and wonder if the spray would be helpful for that. Sadly I didn't see a GP when the GTN was prescribed, a nurse called me to say for my symptoms I should have it. Cardiologist wants

Seriously fed up
Was doing really well until my blip 2 weeks ago (felt dizzy and BP dropped to 80/60 at end of rehab). Since then I've felt rotten. Lots of dizziness and chest discomfort. Even ended up with 111 calling an ambulance and an overnight stay in hospital getting checked out. ECG fine, BP ok but very slightly

Using GTN spray in a preventative manner
QUESTION
Has anyone any experience of using their GTN spray before exercise that they can share?
CONTEXT
My issue is that when hill walking I have experienced bad spasms on the descent and against the wind. I'm fine going uphill. It's almost bizarre. The GTN does solve the problem on

Right advice?
I was told by one GP a while back (when I asked) that it didn't matter how often I use my GTN spray as long as it relieved the symptoms. On a recent visit, as I was concerned that I was suffering more fatigue and a bit of an increase in pain (still not as bad as when first diagnosed), I was told that

Tachycardia
Rather a long post I’m afraid. In 2000 I was 44 and developed unstable angina over 4 months. My husband had BUPA with his work so I saw a cardiologist quickly, put on aspirin, Bisoprolol and GTN. The cardiologist was always unsure whether it was a blockage to my LAD or a spasm and I was due to undergo

Multiple cardiac medications
Good morning. I hope everyone is well :). I have recently been prescribed with some new heart medication, which will take my overall intake to about 5 different medications a day. Up until recently, I was only taking one heart medication, with GTN spray as and when required. I have a previous history

I don't quite understand?
So what is being "Policed" here is natural progression? Surely it is quite natural to progress a subject as it tumbles around an educated group and when it runs out of steam, someone else will bring the group back on track with another "CLEAN" post! That is how a democracy works - well at least I and

Sulforaphane, Acrolein, and Parkinson's
I spend a fair amount of time re-researching things I have researched previously. With my bad memory, frequently I think I am finding something new when I am not. I just came across (again) an article on Acrolein and Parkinson's and remembered that a Broccoli Sprout beverage can clear Acrolein and

Clonidine for hypertension
Hello, Does anyone have experience with taking clonidine for hypertension? My FWP has been experiencing fluctuating blood pressure (anything from 102/66 or lower to 180/90 or even 200/80 on occasions) and his cardiologist has been adjusting his meds but they don’t seem to be that effective. We

Triple Bypass 2 years on.
I sometimes reply to the questions and experiences of others but I don't instigate threads, so this is an exception. Two years ago today, age 64, I was in surgery for triple CABG following a heart attack and one stent in 2019, and a return of some symptoms such as pressure in upper chest and awful jaw

Do long acting nitrates affect sleep?
Hi, hoping someone that has experience with taking long acting nitrates can help answer my question. I was prescribed Isosorbide Mononitrate 25mg by my GP for angina but I am worried it may affect my sleep. Has anyone else had an issue with it affecting their sleep? I took it once and got a horrible

Second anniversary of HA and hopefully we’ll on the mend
Good reason to celebrate today as it’s two years to the day that my life was saved by those wonderful NHS folks. Suffered a Stemi / widow maker, but 4 stents got me up and running again. Luckily I live only 8 minutes away from the Leicester Glenfield Heart Unit and an ambulance was in the area. From

Chest Pain Clinic
Went for my appointment today at the chest pain clinic after my suspected Unstable Angina attack on Easter Sunday. They did an ECG, took my weight and height and then I spoke to the Cardiologist. After going through my medical history and asked about what I do for a living he's told me that as my ECG

Training on using defibrillators and CPR
I sometimes marshal on parkruns and competitions. Thankfully automatic defibrulatrors are becoming more common. Last time a competitor collapsed with angina like symptoms in front of me I had no idea of the protocol to follow (my dilemma was made worse by having a GTN spray with me). Has anyone had

Unstable Angina - Male 53 years old
On Easter Sunday I attended church with my wife and about midway through mass I started to get a tight sensation in the middle of my chest. At first I thought it was just a bit of nasty heartburn and waited for it to pass, but the pain got worse and started to feel like something was being forced into
