Acute coronary syndrome
Hubby had several incidents of chest pain last night, GTN and aspirin didn’t help. After four hours ambulance arrived and he was taken to local A& E, he had ECGS and bloods done, didn’t see doctor until four this morning. We have blood results and other documents e mailed so I was checking his results

Hospitals in dire straits.
On Saturday evening my wife's arm and chest started paining and it felt like someone was tightening a band around her chest. Her normally low BP shot up to 210/110 and she had a headache. This to me is a possible heart attack so I phoned 111. They in turn sent an ambulance. We live 4 miles from the

Advice needed
Hi. I ended up in casualty again for the 8th time with constant chest pains and subsequently stayed the night and next day in coronary care. The cardiologist indeed mentioned Microvascular disease and started me on isosorbide mononitrate I have been recently diagnosed with mild stenosis but he says

Angiogram clear, what next? Microvascular?
Firstly thank you to everyone who responded to my last post regarding going for my angiogram on Monday, all your input helped! I did question beforehand if I needed the procedure which was interpreted as a 'reluctance' to have it done and spoke to 2 consultants about it along with a nurse! Anyway, after

Minoca and still have chest pains
Newbie here. I had a MINOCO at the end of July, I had been getting chests pains for months. Nothing showed up except for troponin raised levels. My blood pressure is always low, I am not overweight, I don't smoke or drink, so I'm not on any medication, except for a 10mg statin, which I have just stopped

Stat bike exercise?
Today was a visit to the cardiologist. Two years ago I had 100% obstruction of the LAD, one of the major arteries feeding the heart. It was cleaned out then a stent put in. Lately I've had chest pain similar to the pain from the obstruction. But a recheck says the arteries are still wide

Is it Bisoprolol?
Just wondering if dropping a dose of bisoprolol from 2.5mg to 1.25mg can make you feel light headed and down and need the toilet all the time. The reason I say this is I have changed from Ramipril to losartin and from Avortastatin to Ruvortastin but take these at night. Two weeks before I was told to

Chest pains 9 months after heart attack
I had a heart attack and stent fitted last October and have been pretty good ever since. I’ve lost weight and started playing golf again. Things were good but then had bad chest pains 2 nights ago. I used GTN spray but was very dizzy, almost passed out and had severe sweating. By the time the ambulance

I’m asking on behalf of my husband. He has coronary artery spasms but last week, he had different chest pain that was not eased by gtn spray. Called ambulance and admitted. Diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. Episode of AF last nearly 4 hours. He has felt absolutely washed out since. Slowly improving

CT Cardiac angiogram
Hi, just thought I would go through my experience of a CT cardiac angiogram as it may relieve some worries. Hope it helps. I was booked for this test a week after an emergency admission with chest pain to rule out any coronary artery disease. I was obviously scared of the outcome on top of my mitral

Exercise with angina.
I'm trying to get over my mental block to exercise. I have microvascular angina, so it's constant. Even though it's been a few years on this journey, 2011, first HA, a few stents, so no major problems as so many have. Whenever I do exercise, I seem to overdo it and get told off by gp. GTN does relieve

Lifespan of stents?
I had stents following major heart attack end of last year. While in hospital a few patients who had already had stents for a while were either being re-stented or given bypass surgery. I can’t help thinking about this and wondering how long stents can last - I recognise there will be differences between
