Micro vascular angina
Hello everyone, I have just spent 3 days in hospital due to increasing episodes of chest pain , laboured breathing and palpitations. ECG and bloods were unchanged but they said the angina was unstable. Had an angiogram yesterday which showed all the arteries and previous stents were clear thankfully.

Strange feeling in my chest, could it be Angina.
Sorry for the long post, but here goes. It is now almost 6 months since my heart attack and subsequent CABG x 6. Before my heart attack I felt healthy and presented no symptoms. I am recovering well after been diagnosed with acute CHD and am feeling so much stronger apart from niggles around the sternum

Shortness of breath post CABG
Good Morning, I really need some advice. My mum had Quadrupled last December. Over the past 3 weeks she has been experiencing shortness of breath and some pain over shoulder, neck and arm. It's not the angina pain she was getting pre surgery and only experienced some tightness around the chest area when

Amazed ! And it takes a lot 😂
Had text message from GP , hospital wanted me to have a GTN spray until I’ve had more test done etc etc , sent urgently to Chemist . It wasn’t there ………but I can buy one for £4.90 over the counter which I did , but I’m amazed you can buy that over the counter so cheap and people who pay are being charged

Ptsd after stent heart attack.
After having a heart attack in mid August, I am suffering bouts of depression, crying and the feeling I could die at any moment. In town shopping I had a quite acute chest pain and then realized my GTNspray was at home. I panicked but after a while the pain subsided and I got home Then another sharp

Your Angina pain
I have suffered with Angina pain which led to my bypass in 2017 and more recently which led to my having 2 stents fitted. On the first occasion I had stable angina that only came on when I exerted myself, on the 2nd occasion I had both stable and unstable angina. The pain I suffered was bearable but

Shoulder pain
Hi, Recently I've stared getting a very bad painful ache in my shoulder blades and down arms. Not both together. I used to get a similar pain on my left shoulder blade before I had my triple bypass 20 years ago, and treated it as angina. Not had it again until now, and getting it both sides. It does

ANGINA
I had a heart attack 14 months ago. An MI. Gradually over the year my angina has got to the point I could have a breakdown. I don't want to sound dramatic but I'm at my wits end. The pain is so bad every day. Even upon resting. It shoots into my armpits down my arms into my hands. Up both sides of my

A good Consultant that knows about RLS, Augmentation and things in the UK
THE REALLY GOOD NEWS Well all my shouting and rolling around in incredible pain has had an effect on my UK GP practice and at least one consultant at the Royal Stoke hospital in the Midlands. The whole GP practice is clued up. They have my notes and references, including those in the States. They are

Not all angina pains are heart related.
I had a thread recently about my wife having chest pain, jaw pain and arm pain and having to wait 5 hours for an ambulance and another 4 hours to be finally wheeled into A&E. She had an x-ray and blood tests done. GTN spray immediately stopped the pains and she was discharged with no diagnosis. This

Angina?
If I exert myself (eg spend 1 or 2 hours gardening) maybe 2 hours after I stop I start to get slight chest pains palpitations I feel sick and unsteady gtn helps somewhat I had a STEMI 14 months ago. I had an angioplasty they could not fit stents because the artery was too wide. So they cleared the clot

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

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
