Last week was challenging - chest pain and visit to A&E
Just over a week ago (Sunday 30th August) I decided to go back to swimming after a 5 month break. I swam 44 lengths in 50 minutes and felt great. Next day I noticed my blood pressure was higher than normal and had a chest niggle after light warm up walk and a 30 minute run. I thought it was muscular

Isosorbide mononitrate XL potential side effects
Hi My partner has been confined to bed for the last few months with exhaustion, chest/back pain and being unable to eat. She was eventually admitted to hospital last month with dehydration and after a week of tests the cause of her illness is still unconfirmed. Her symptoms do point towards CFS but

Pain down my arm ?
I’ve been getting quite a lot of pain down my arms even just the right one, sometimes without chest pain. Is that anyone else has or is it just me. And if anyone does do you use your GTN spray. It could be I’m trying to do a little bit more walking and a bit more active, trying to get my confidence back

H/A Then Angina
Hi guys, newbie here I'm just coming up to the first anniversary of my ha and stent (I'm 55).

Few GTN sprays on my positive walks.
Got my trainers out, 3/4 leggings I used to wear, sunglasses on, all dressed for the occasion!!! If anyone was behind me they’d have thought what on earth is she doing. I started off slowly then on to a sensible walking pace, oh wow I thought, this is wonderful. Then!!!!! It started, aching across my

Positive thought 😃
I’ve decided I have been quite worried about walking to far because of my symptoms, so today I’m going to go for it, take it easy to start and see how I get on and build up, I used to walk my dog twice a day for miles, bike loads. Not going that far yet but getting started, GTN firmly one my pocket,

Concerned by chest pain
I'm starting to get worried now. Last week I was admitted to hospital after 4 days of chest pain. I underwent several ECGs and a couple of blood tests and the conclusion was that it was not a cardiac event. I'm now on my 8th day of chest pain. Where the pain is seems to vary - upper chest, lower chest

MVA - Spasms and Exercise
Good Morning from Singapore (National Day) I wonder if I might ask those with Artery Spasms, MVA, etc etc about exercise. Whilst I am still waiting to be confirmed with Artery Spasms which is causing my breathlessness and pain, it has been presumed as my 2 arteries with stenosis reveal only 48 and

Problems with Angina meds
I was diagnosed with Angina after a Heart Attack last year. I have tried 2 different brands of Isosorbide Mononitrate and now I’m trying Nicorandil but all of them give me severe headaches. I can’t cope with them and I wondered if anyone else had the same problem and found an alternative?
