GTN spray
Can anyone explain why GTN spray makes you feel so rubbish. I know it can save your life and you need to use it for chest pain

Chest pain and using the GTN spray
Hello. I am now 5 weeks in after a heart attack which came completely out of the blue and then angioplasty with aortic stent. I have had chest pain ever since which is generally mild but can get stronger (it can come on at anytime whether I am exercising or not and can last for an hour or more). It feels

Intro
I'm a retired policeman and now retired linguistics professor. I thought I was super fit, walking 14,000 steps a day on average when, just last week, I found even a short walk or physical exertion caused me severe dizziness, and breathlessness. It was extremely sudden. I was referred to my local hospital

Heart meds problem airport security
I have just read an alarming report of a woman being stopped and questioned by airport security because apparently her heart meds contain traces of an ingredient which is also used in making explosives- nitroglycerin. Anyone else in this position should be aware in case they encounter the same situation

Hi Everyone and thanks for all your replys to my previous post. My Wife ended up phoning for an Ambulance at 01:30 this morning as I couldn't breathe or feel my legs. I used my GTN SPRAY but didn't help. Anyway the Ambulance man was brilliant he did all the checks and was talking to my wife about me.

MV Angina - Beaty fluttery heart when eating and drinking
I was diagnosed last year with MV angina and put on tildium and aspirin with GTN spray as a side order to use when needed. All has been relatively ok until past couple of days - when eating or drinking it feels like palpitations(?) a very heavy beaty chest and almost breathlessness sensation. It passes

Update to Feeling overwhelmed
Apologies for the long post. I was referred to the Rapid Access Chest Pain clinic by my GP as she is unsure if my chest pain and breathlessness is down to my lung conditions or if I have angina. I attended the clinic 2 weeks ago and was referred for a heart CT angiogram where they inject a contrast
