A little update
So I reached the 6 month anniversary of my CABG this month and I was glad to see it. Followed shortly after by my 48th birthday, again something I was glad to see. But things are still not great, still dealing with ectopic beats, some days worse than others. The last couple of weeks if been getting occasional

Whiskey - Good for Angina
About a week ago when walking along on a cold (2/3C) evening I overdid it and got angina. I do not have an inhaler as I take an SR (slow release) Isosorbide mononitrate each morning. Someone suggested that whiskey was good for angina so I had a double malt that seemed to do the trick. So my qquestion

I am experiencing pressure pain in chest and throat since 4 stents fitted 6 weeks ago after heart attack. I have been to A and E about 10 days ago and all they did was test

Statins and sharp pains
Hi I’m new here. I’m on my 3rd statin (Rosuvastatin) having had Atorvastatin and then Pravastatin and seem to be suffering from random pains in my chest area. It’s not Angina as I’ve used my GTN spray with no real effect. The pains only last a minute or so at a time but are quite unnerving. I was

nitroglycerin transdermal patch).
Morning all, just a quick question. I wear a 15 mg nitroglycerin transdermal patch daily. I was told to wear it for about 14 hrs a day and leave it off overnight. Last night I forgot to remove it (I do have a reminder on my phone). Should I put it on the usual time today or wait a few hours. It sounds

Update
I previously posted about my Bisoprolol being increased to help breathlessness when in fact it made it worse. Two weeks ago I went to the surgery for a blood test. Got half way across the car park and suddenly couldn't get any breath. This got worse and worse so the Drs called an ambulance and I was

Microvascular angina frustration.
Hi everyone, Im 47 (some will have seen a couple of posts before) and in September I was diagnosed with Cardiac Syndrome X (microvascular angina). I had crippling chest pain on slight exertion but as there were no beds in Coronary Care, where I would have seen a cardiologist, I ended up in an acute medical

Angiogram
I get angina attacks. On 25mgs Prednisone and have had third Actemra shot . I should get an angiogram. Anyone here that can share that experience that had PMRGCA? I have to use nitroglycerin and I'm 73. Thinking that when inflammation is under control I won't get these attacks. I eat fat free and

possible recurrent pericarditis or coronary artery spasm
I have been suffering moderate to bad chest pains for quite awhile. one hospital has diagnosed recurrent pericarditis another now has said it might be CAS. my angiogram shows moderate diffuse artery problems which I was told are not bad enough to worry about. a jelly scan does not show any problems either

Not heartburn and more pills
Well I saw the consultant today and it seems the pain I have been having is not heartburn but from angina. I did star t to think that myself as the pains started just after getting up before I had any food and did use my GTN spray more and it helped. Now I am going to have Isotard 40 XL to take and hope

Anemia & ADT
New study below [1]. But why? It is well known that that as testosterone [T] drops in men, so does the red blood cell count. RBCs contain hemoglobin, which carries oxygen from lungs to the rest of the body. Dr. Myers has said that almost all of his patients on ADT are "mildly" anemic [3]. Wiki [2]
