Why Do I pain in my left ribs?
I would like to thank the BHF Nurse that actually took the bother to call me after I emailed for help and advice, she was very empathetic and gave me good advice about keeping a record of my blood pressure’s and taking it in the morning when I get up after I’ve pottered about but before any medication

Collateral circulation
I have been diagnosed with a blocked right artery during angiogram following indigestion type pain on exertion (riding pushbike ). I was amazed that I hadn’t had a HA . Cardiologist said I was saved this by collateral circulation which had naturally bypassed the blockage. This apparently cannot be stented

Unstable angina
I was diagnosed in 2016 and had 2 stents. Was originally told it would be 3 but one was was too small to stent. Have had attacks since then which have been managed by the usual meds and GTN spray. However, since having covid a month ago I have had more incidents than in the last year. Has anyone else

Isosorbide mononitrate
Hi, wondering if anyone can help, I’ve just been prescribed Isosorbide mononitrate for angina and I’m struggling with the migraine type headaches they’re causing (day 3 so far). I’m planning on persevering as told this will pass but wondered if anyone had any tips on making it more bearable. Thanks in

isosorbide mononitrate causing flare up of trigeminal neuralgia
Can isosorbide mononitrate cause my trigeminal neuralgia which has been under control with medication to suddenly flare up violently? I have been on carbamazepine and gabapentin for over 12 years and not had any problems until I started isosorbide mononitrate for angina.

is this usual?
morning all, in April last year I had a hospital admission for suspected heart issues, in September I was told I have a significant narrowing in an artery, not a main one, they tried to start me in a whole heap of meds and suggested a stent, I wanted a chance to avoid all this so for 6 months I have

Newly diagnosed MVA
I am newly diagnosed with Microvascular Angina after months of chest pains, fatigue and feeling generally poorly. An angiogram showed my main arteries are all ok. Therefore it turned out that it is this disease. It is a relief that I can put a name to my condition but equally not great because it’s not

Accelerated Cholesterol Buildup Leading to Second Stent in 6 Months
Hi, I had a stent fitted about 6 months ago and was told that I would probably ned a second one fitted in 10 year in another artery.

I’ve lost my faith in the NHS altogether.
I put a post up 4 months ago about Isosorbide Mononitrate regarding unstable angina. I had to wait 3 months to see my cardiologist. As my unstable angina was getting worse, I decided to go private, as I was going to A&E too often and getting nowhere. Not one medic in A&E could help me. And after speaking

gtn spray
I was diagnosed with angina a few years ago and at the prescribed GTN spray, I have to say I rarely use it partly due to the headache it causes! I also have severe COPD for which I use various inhalers, I was just wondering would the GTN spray be beneficial to me for help with breathlessness? for example

So fed up, after CABG worse off.
I don't know if anyone remembers me. I had a triple bypass on 16th September followed by internal bleeding, severe AF, a collapsed lung and fluid on the lung. Two days after discharge I was rushed back in to my local hospital with a saddle PE, PEs in both lungs and a clot in my heart. These had clearly

A huge Thank You and rash update
I want to thank everybody who supported and reassured me on my post two days ago. Thank you all for sharing your own experiences with me and to Barbara and Kat for sharing photos of their rashes which did suggest it was indeed a Lupus rash I had, as I’d suspected, when it looked so similar and was running
