Experiences with

Isosorbide dinitrate

Hello I am not sure if l should have persevered more with this medication. I have mild CAD diagnosed after an angiogram. Bisoperol 1.25 mg was not helping with heart spasms/chest pain. I have had no consultant follow up appointment post angiogram yet so l am only going by what letter l have been sent

HiI'm on Isosorbide 40mg twice a day, I have been taking one at 6:45Am and the other at 17:30 pm is this the correct way to space them out?

Hi, I've been taking Isosorbide Mononitrate (AKA Elantan 25mg) for about 5-6 weeks now. My cardiologist put me on them after getting angina 5 months after triple bypass (in March) and thinks it's microvascular blockages. Since I've been on it I've been experiencing what I can only describe as bone

Just wondering what peoples experiences are of weaning off medication. I had a heart attack nearly 2yrs ago (December 2022). On speaking to my cardiologist we decided I should try and wean off Ranolazine 500mg (twice a day) and Isosorbide Mononitrate 30mg. This was because I have made a lot of changes

I'll try to keep this as brief as possible but apologies in advance if I fail which I suspect I will I've posted three times in the last 8 months about my partners 'heart condition'. The new bit is that after 8 months waiting, we've been sent his health records from one of his previous Health

Is there anything stronger for pain relief of headaches from isosorbide mononitrate? I’ve tried aspirin and paracetamol, but they haven’t helped much. Just wondering whether it is worth contacting specialist or not. I have very limited energy and don’t want to put myself through the hassle of phone

After cardiologist decided my left ventricle was fully blocked with plaque and it was as hard as a rock he said that the right ventricle had took over the job of purifying the arteries and had been doing this for a while, he suggested the best method to go forward was to leave things as they are and

Since being diagnosed with microvascular and spasmodic angina I've been given an 18 month follow up but no advice. I also have Raynauds and Achenbachs which are not friends of cold weather. Currently I've been taking my GTN before I exercise or go out in the cold (I'm also on isosorbide mononitrate and

Hi I was taking Isosorbide mononitrate 50mg modified-release capsules until last week when the dose was increased to 60mg (starting to use GTN spray to counter chest pains) So up until this point everything is good. When I checked my Medical record I noticed that the 'Pharmacy' that my new prescription

Good evening everyone, I hope you are all keeping well.I was prescribed the above medication, but after 2 days had to stop taking it due to stomach, and back/kidney pain. I could tolerate the headache, and tiredness, but not the gut pain. I do have pancreas problems, so I'm wondering if it interfered

After being told I have a leaky mitral heart I am waiting for a cardoliology appt. The hospital rang me a few days ago to say I need to go & have an up to date ECG before I see the consultant. I have been feeling terrible after coming off the bisoprolol ( was feeling very tired & pulse very low. I was

I'm almost 85 & had a 2nd heart attack on 3/2/24. Needed defibrillator in ambulance, local hospital not available, so taken to another one. Existing stents ballooned. Recovering well but 3 weeks later, hospitalised for 10 days with low sodium. Only just stabilising with medication and restricted fluids

Hi, this is my first post. To put my post in context, as briefly as I can. My partner had Myocarditis 8 yrs ago, he slowly recovered but appears to have some ongoing heart 'issues'. One instance of unstable angina 18 months ago which took him to A&E, where an angiogram showed some narrowing of 3 vessels

I caught a bad cold (tested negative for COVID) in November 2022 and on the day that started, I went into AFib. I wasn’t given any treatment because I was already on Warfarin due to my aortic valve replacement in March 2015. I finally saw a consultant about the AFib in May 2023 and was put on Isosorbide

Despite being on the following list of meds I'm still getting BP spikes, with my weekly average being in the high 140's/80's and I'm getting angina, with related symptoms, weekly (although less intense since being on isosorbide mononitrate). I've been taking my BP for almost a year now and so I know

I am asking for my husband now. Has anyone been given isosorbide Mononitrate and bisoprolol for Angina. Are there side effects.

prior to contracting Covid in April 23 I was very fit and regularly ran up mountains and 2/3 hour runs was my usual at least once a week plus some kind of activity every day.With COVID I developed chest tightness and breathlessness, particularly worse on exertion. I repeatedly said that it felt like

Could anybody shed some light on E F?.So 2 years ago I had scans on my heart to investigate why my heart rate was high, just reading back on some old letters sent from consultant and it said something like remarkable due to 25% ejection fraction. I was all new to this heart trouble,and seem to be learning

I asked about how long I should sit out post ablation tachycardia on Saturday and got lots of very kind replies and many asking for an update. So I did go to A&E and after three hours was admitted to the A&E ward. HR was 95 but trying to convert back to normal speed. Doc kept me in for observation to
