Is this just bad constipation?
Hi Guys, I need your advice here. Male 53, good diet, non smoker, walk daily with dogs, on feet at work, been on Lansoprazole for 8 years struggling with full rectum high up. I go for BM every morning without fail and seem to do plenty then may do more an hour later but much softer. By early afternoon

Update, still got discomfort
Still got discomfort in the top of my chest, under my left arm and neck. Does not get worse on exertion and even disappears sometimes. GTN does improve it. Doctor says it’s almost certainly not my heart as it does not get worse with exertion ? Doc says Could be the meds but thinks it’s to early after

7 months post stent issue
Hi there I am a 53 year old builder who has always been very active and lived a fairly healthy lifestyle. I had a heart attack on 19th May, complete shock and had 2 stents fitted. Thankfully no damage to heart and I was able to return to work after 6 weeks. I have had aching across the back of my shoulders

Shoulder blade pain
I had small heart attack at the beginning of Dec & one stent fitted. I am now experiencing ache/pains in my shoulder blade. When I spoke to the cardiac nurse was told to use gtn spray. The problem is it is becoming more frequent since Ny eve & just read you should not to use your spray often. Not sure

Had my CT heart scan today...
Finally got into the X-ray department, after waiting since first GP appointment in June. Thought I would just explain the procedure, in case anyone else is having one soon and worrying about what to expect, although I know the hospital leaflets do explain it quite clearly. I took my normal betablocker

First intervention and stent possibly not solving things?

Constant dull ache on left side of chest... will glycerin spray help?
Hi All, First time post here. I had bypass surgery (x5) a few years back and have had regular pain in my chest since. The doctor at the time said that it was probably caused by smaller blocked arteries that hadn’t been bypassed. Does the spray work for these dull pains? I’ve been reluctant to use it

Gotta love a freebie
Got talking to a guy at work today who had noticed that I've been doing a lot of running lately. He's an ultra-runner! Anyway, we got talking shoes and I mentioned I needed a new pair but was a bit lost as to what to get. He recommended a shop not far from me then asked what size I was. "I'm a 10 normally

Angina pain despite clear coronaries?
Well my angiogram done yesterday, and not as easy as I was led to believe, apparently my radial artery is tiny, hence a lot of pain initially. However I think I slept through the rest!! Now I am confused, cardiologist who was not the most approachable of men, said arteries where clear but my coronary

Local cardiology department don’t want to investigate low level angina at rest
Long story short coming up for 2year post angioplasty anniversary (jan). I get bouts of what I suspect is angina during the day and at night which is mostly lhs chest into armpit location fairly low level but can distract me from sleep. I don’t often use Gtn except when heavy and some relief may be gained

Is GTN spray safe to use for people with Atrial Fibrillation?
My father suffers with AF and although I consider him fit for an 81 year old, more recently he has experienced increased periods of breathlessness (even when doing very little) and occassional chest spasms. We know other people who use GTN as a result of a heartattack or angina but my question is, does

GTN Spray
Hi, as you may have gathered from some previous posts I am trying to find out the answer to the strange gas sensations I continually have in my chest? Can I say that I do burp a lot “very lady like though” which again convinced me it is gas. Today it was particularly bad for about an hour right in the

Persistent tickly cough
I have a persistent tickly cough. I've had anti biotics but the cough just comes back again after a few weeks. It's particularly bad at night. I used to find that pholcodeine cough mixture helped, but I've been told that I shouldn't take it because it is not compatible with the warfarin Im on for PAF
