Parkwalk update
Hey Everyone Thanks for all the comments on me doing the parkrun at the weekend. I've taken all the comments on board and I've decided I'm going to walk it. I've run the course before and as I've volunteered since my heart attack I know a lot of the regular volunteers so I'm going to let them know I'm

More angina when walking
Hi all, I've started to get angina again when I walk and I'm worried my artery is blocking again. Just as a quick background had stent Oct 2021 for 99% blockage LAD artery. My symptoms were pain on walking. Pains never went away and in fact got much worse. November 21 had another stent for 99% blockage

Not sure and nervous about using GTN spray
I had my heart attack on 26th and stent fitted. Surprisingly feel absolutely fine , but occasionally get a ‘gentle’ discomfort in the middle of my chest which doesn’t immediately go and am not sure whether to use GTN or not. Any advice on who it is best to ask regarding this as it’s a bank holiday ?

Just started Isosorbide Mononitrate
Hi My husband is 67 and had two stents 17 years ago . He has been fine up until now but due to some breathing issues has been checked out and one stent has started to block and there is stenosis before and after the stent in the LAD and a large branch before the stent showing tight proximal disease.

When to Seek Help
I had a bypass 12 years ago, and have to admit that, since then, I've been hypervigilant about any symptoms I have, partly because I also suffer from anxiety and partly because I am blatantly aware of the consequences of 'getting it wrong'. In the early days this led to two or three visits to A&E with

Newbie: is it normal to feel like you're going bonkers whilst awaiting a diagnosis?
I spent yesterday morning at A and E awaiting a troponin blood test to see if I'd had a heart attack in the early hours of Sunday morning. I hadn't thank goodness. Flash back to March/April this year when I first went to the GP for a weird feeling in my chest. Bloods showed Vb12 deficiency and my

How long does it take to get pain relief once on medication?
Reaching out for advice. I had a MINOCA first week of September. Since discharge from hospital I have still experienced fluctuating chest, arm and rib pain, breathlessness with light exertion and severe head pressure. First trip to hospital resulted in prescription for diltiazem hydrochloride.

angina
had a persistent dull ache in chest /arm /kneck all morning which didn’t drop on resting so had 2 sprsprays of gtn and fainted! No damage done. Angina has gone but am worried about using gtn now, because I live alone. What is more risky? The angina or the fainting?

4 stents 3 weeks ago and still angina attacks
Hi, I took a heart attack 3 weeks ago yesterday, emergency surgery for 4 stents and home 3 days later. Still very lethargic and experiencing intermittent angina attacks, mild pain and extreme tiredness, requiring the GTN spray averaging 4 times a day. Can anyone advise if this is normal?

Dubious Angina Diagnosis - what advice should I give?
I had unstable angina and a quadruple bypass 16 years ago, so I was genuinely shocked when someone where I've been working went to a GP from work because she'd had a tight chest and (with no prior history of heart disease) returned with a practice nurse diagnosis of angina and a GTN prescription. She's

Another stenosis close to first one!
Hi everyone. I had a stent fitted for a stenosis of my LAD artery 26/10/21. I continued to get chest pain which got much worse in May 2022 where I've since had to use my GTN spray whenever I'm active. I was reassured can't be cardio so must be gastro. I do have gastro issues and had an oesophageal

Ranexa 375 mg prolonged-release Tablets \ Ranolazine 375 mg. Has anybody had any adverse effect from this medication.
My angina has recently become unstable. I did encourage my to GP to increase my dose of Ranolazine 375 mg to 500 mg. This caused continuous severe angina to such an extent I had to go to A & E, as having a good three double blasts of my GTN spray no angina relief had happened. A few hours later, after
