Experiences with

Glyceryl Trinitrate

What I've got is very mild angina symptoms brought on by emotional stress. I'm 63, male. It's like a slight stitch, almost trivial. They've doubled my atorvastatin to 80mg pd. And "added in" Isosorbide Mononitrate 60mg pd to "alleviate symptoms". I'm happy with the statin, but the nitrate tablets seem

It's all come as a horrible shock. Last week received cc'd letter from Cardiology to my GP saying I'd got Triple Vessel Disease with severe coronary calcification, lots of scary medical jargon, urgent increase in medication and an appointment with the intervention team in two weeks. No sugaring the pill

However, the horrendous nuclear

Was admitted to hospital as passed out, paramedics found seriously low blood pressure. Eventually it was brought back to a decent level. I've been taking GTN as and when needed as gp said its a angina different in women and certainly was in my mum's case in her shoulder or shoulder blade. I've found

I posted a couple of days ago about cramps in legs and feet. Well I've gone from that to taking my gtn for pain in shoulder and spots of pain in right chest to passing out and being non responsive with eyes open. My other half finally got me to come around but he'd already phoned the ambulance and they

I am very new to this forum so I would first like to say thank you for accepting me and to say how much I have picked up from reading some of the topics raised in my short time I have been pondering a question to the side that even my cardiologist can’t get to the bottom of but i hope someone in

Hey Everyone I woke up in the middle of the night with chest pains, I used my GTN spray and took some gaviscon but nothing worked so I called Dan who was at work and he drove me up to A&E I've been here since 5am, blood pressure is higher than it has been (pregnancy actually lowered my BP) I've had 3

So tired today almost all night gad niggly pains so can't go rehab had gtn spray 4 tines eventually feel asleep so early to bed for me tonight 😴

Last night I experienced a prolonged attack of calf and foot cramping in both legs and it was excruciating. As a last resort I used my GTN spray and the cramping almost immediately stopped. Has anyone else experienced this and know why it may be ? I’m now awaiting a GP econsult to discuss too. Thanks

Hi all, just an update. I am getting used to taking 30mg monomil and side effects are now minimal. I haven't needed to use the gtn spray for over a week now! I had the echo this evening and the guy performing it said that all looked OK. He said it was to look at the Chambers and valves. It wouldn't pick

Have had the GTN spray for a while and have used it twice and too scared to use it again. As soon as I spray under my tongue, it feels as though there I have sprayed acid. The pain is terrible and made me cry out in pain. This pain lasts for about a minute. It’s unbearable. I filled out an online

Wondering if anyone has had anything similar? I had a terrible day yesterday. Woke up with pressure in the left side of my chest, feeling like my body was covered in lead weights, exhausted despite having slept for a solid 10 hours, easily getting shortness of breath and having lightheaded spells that

For those who have replied and given me advice about 111 and hospital treatment, to my recent post about chest pain thank you, here is the next chapter. Because of the advice and my needing to know what the pain was, I contacted our GP surgery. Around 3,45 pm a doctor rang to ask what the problem was

Hi and hope everyone is doing okay haven't posted in a while, the last week or so I have been getting central left sided chest pain with very little exertion even walking from the livingroom to kitchen or going upstairs to the bathroom this happens on most short trips occasionally with left arm and jaw

I had 1 stent fitted in 2021 following a mild heart attack. In June last year I had chest pain, went to A&E and after tests was told angina and had I been using my Gtn spray? I hadn't as had not felt the need other than this 1 episode. Since then I had pain once again, overnight, at rest, used the gtn

Hi I had a heart attack on 7th December and am now in recovery with many tablets to take. Is it normal to still be getting chest pain and arm pain? I have used my gtn spray and it has relieved the pain at the time. My dad has sadly passed away in the last month and I don’t think stress is helping.

is anyone else on a large cocktail of meds like me? I’m thinking I might be on too many and I am going to have a chat to my GP next week as Cardiology have discharged me I currently take nicirandil 20mgx2 Ramipril 5mg x2 Ranolazine 750mg x2 Isosorbide 60mg x2 Amlodipine 10mg Bisoprolol 10mg

Because of GI problems, bisphosphonate tablets are not an option for me, so I have gone down the infusion path. I had my first infusion on December 28th, and experienced about three days of bad muscle pain, which then resolved itself. It was a couple of weeks later that I noticed that my ankles were
