Experiences with

Glyceryl Trinitrate

Angina and tiredness Every so often I suddenly feel very tired and have no go in me at all. It comes on when I do nothing, but perhaps after I have been busy earlier in the day.

So I reached the 6 month anniversary of my CABG this month and I was glad to see it. Followed shortly after by my 48th birthday, again something I was glad to see. But things are still not great, still dealing with ectopic beats, some days worse than others. The last couple of weeks if been getting occasional

Bit of a topsy turvy photo but here are my new shoes and below the reason they were needed (you can just see the hole in the top of the Asics) and the fact that my feet seem to seize up a while after finishing my longer runs meant they were just about shot. The On Cloudflyers were my Christmas present

Last night I forgot to remove it (I do have a reminder on my phone). Should I put it on the usual time today or wait a few hours. It sounds

Hi Folks ~ heart attack beginning of Oct and 1 stent so week 5 now. Have been told have heart failure. I know to ring rehab or GP or out of hours if I need help.

Hi does anyone know where you can obtain a carrier for a GTN spray that will attach to a car key ring. Thanks

Hi everyone, Im 47 (some will have seen a couple of posts before) and in September I was diagnosed with Cardiac Syndrome X (microvascular angina).

New study below [1]. But why? It is well known that that as testosterone [T] drops in men, so does the red blood cell count. RBCs contain hemoglobin, which carries oxygen from lungs to the rest of the body. Dr. Myers has said that almost all of his patients on ADT are "mildly" anemic [3]. Wiki [2]
