Experiences with

Glyceryl Trinitrate

I've been restoring an old cottage and enjoying the process. About 18 months ago I noticed I was getting tired more and more easily, then I started getting minor chest-pains during some of the more physical activities such as carrying heavy materials etc. They were always minor. They always passed quickly

I'm hoping someone here has experience with fissures, of which I have 4....2 small and 2 chronic :( Ironically my diet is fine, I drink plenty and I have regular BMs, I don't strain and I always clean properly. I've used gtn ointment, not really helpful and headaches were awful. I have warm baths

Apologies in advance for the long post, but I feel like I’m losing my mind here, and the detail is relevant. We have an extensive, highly varied cardiac history, particularly on my mum’s side. She had obvious cardiac symptoms for years, even had a dodgy ecg when participating in a medical research project

Hello. I was at work in Jan, sitting at a computer and I had a sharp pain in my chest and breathlessness and felt hot and sweaty. It calmed down quite quickly. I went to the gp and they prescribed gtn just in case, pending an xray, ecg. Ecg was normal. Xray showed slight enlargement of heart. An echocardiogram

Diagnosed with heart disease in January and after initial denial and shock now trying to answer questions. I have read that 25% of people with heart disease have no aggravating lifestyle choices and I count myself in that group. Docs have put me on statin, GTN and Monomil and I can now walk the 1/2 mile

Hi, I'm a 61 year old woman, type 2 diabetic but generally fit. I have no meds apart from aspirin. Over the past couple of months I have been having chest pain at rest for which I have been prescribed a GTN spray, which has helped. Yesterday I had a cat scan which showed my coronary arteries to be

I have been treated for hypothyroidism for 28 years, mostly successfully on 125mg per day. However, I have suffered with abdominal pain for much of this time. Over a year ago a routine blood test revealed a suppressed TSH and my GP insisted on reducing my Thyroxine. When I protested I was referred to

Hello guys I am writing looking for answers and advice for my 35 year old husband who has CAD and currently has 5 stents as of Jan 20, 2020. He is taking Ticagrelor, Asprin, Isosobide Monotrate, Twynsta, Carvedilol, and Astrovastatin. Recently, as of last Sunday he took a walk on the beach and noticed

After a severe bout of diarrhoea I was unable to go the toilet for the following 6 days. For the first timeI used a glycerine suppository which had almost immediate affect. As my IBS seems to be caused by anxiety about needing to use a toilet outside my home I wonder whether it would be a good idea

Hi all, I’m new to the group. I am looking for a bit of support and advice on knowing what pain I should be worried about and what I can ignore. I am unable to physically join a group currently so just trying to stop being so worried about every little twinge I feel. I don’t really want to use the GTN

Loved today's run. Went out with no idea how far I'd go. I was a bit daunted by running in the sun and warmer weather but it's been ok so far. I still much prefer the cold and rain to run in. Today I ran the Humber Seawall up and back and felt better with my knees so stopped at 5m. Got home to find my

I was wondering if the ingredients in a GTN spray may be a good thing to use on the Supermarket Trolley ( Cart ) for international readers, or even to keep your hands clean I just ordered 5 on my repeat prescription just in case it may be good. Anyone else thought of this ?? --)

Evening everyone First time today I had to use my GTN spray, a trip to GP was needed and he has increased my monomil xl to 2 tablets a day - has anyone else found this to help their angina symptoms? I think I was in denial that I have angina and that after my stent I would be back to normal- how silly

Does anyone know why these suppositories are out of stock everywhere? Surely people haven`t been panic buying them! I do have them on repeat prescription but want to avoid visiting the surgery if possible so thought I would buy some

Hi, I'm new here. Thanks to everyone who's already posted. I first developed an anal fissure in 2.5 years ago. I kept thinking it would heal on its own. My surgeon told me continuing to row and bike wouldn't make it worse, but it definitely [i]seemed [/i]to prevent it from healing. I finally had surgery
