HRT and chest pain
Hi, hope a helpful heartie on here can help me. Has anyone been prescribed HRT to help alleviate daily angina? I’m still waiting on a diagnosis for my INOCA. (Ischemia with Non Obstucted Arteries). I’ve only had 6 days without chest pain in the last 4 weeks with a trip to A&E. All tests were negative

Hello everyone, Apologies for the long post, trying to give all relevant information. 10/8/21 I woke in the early hours with what initially felt like indigestion.

Nitroglycerin patch to slow prostate cancer might be problematic. Your thoughts?

Breathlessness - is it heartburn?
After suffering a heart attack 18 months ago I generally am feeling good. I am back at the gym and running has got easier and I have lost some weight. Have changed to a vegan diet as well for 6 months. My issue now has been if I am inactive for a couple of days, or the day after I have any alcohol

Is this (presumably angina) pain normal - am taking Isosorbide Mononitrate, Apixiban and Atorvastatin
I began taking Isosorbide Mononitrate 30mg (half a tablet) two years ago after a constant squeezing pain in my upper left arm, later diagnosed as angina. I have since had an angiogram and pressure wire test which did not show any great narrowing of arteries. I am now having the same squeezing pain in
