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

When to take medication?
Hi everyone Please could you advise me when to take my medication. I normally take Lansoprazole about 7 - 7.30 am, breakfast about 8am with 5mg Pred, Calcichew about 12am before lunch, then again about 9pm, then Simvastatin about 10pm. No problems. However, I have now been diagnosed with Angina and

Unstable angina? Syndrome X?
Hello everyone Im 47 and up until 3 months ago I was fit and well. I woke one morning with unilateral face numbness and after MRI was thought to be a TIA ( small stroke) Round about this time I started to get significant central chest pain on minimal exertion and after 2 or 3 A&E/hospital admissions

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

Alcohol
I am going to a special family get together and I will be offered a glass of wine. I only used to have a glass on special occasions but have never had any since last year. Nothing at Christmas and New Year as I wasn't feeling right this was before I was diagnosed with Coronary Heart Disease earlier this

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]

HIF-1α inhibition by DES.
New study below. We are 30+ years into the Lupron era, but diethylstilbestrol [DES] was used for about 45 years before that & shouldn't be entirely ignored. DES is a synthetic estrogen. The male response to high amounts of estrogen is reduced testosterone production (the presumed source of the estrogen

Physical or neurological?
Hi, I'm new to this site and to posting in general so forgive me if I get things wrong. I have suffered from bouts of vertigo for many years. Just over a year ago I had what I (and the medics) thought was a heart attack. Since then the vertigo has been with me 24/7 and now I have ataxia as well. Like

GTN Spray
I know this is going to sound really stupid but I am waiting to see a Cardiologist to find out what is wrong with me. I have been prescribed GTN spray but im terrified to try it. I hate any type of medication as it seems they always make me feel ill. I am really scared and so fed up as every day I cannot

Permanent AF
I have been in permanent AF since last July. My GP once stated that permanent AF is easier to manage/experience than intermitant varieties but I can't seem to find much literature on this. Any help on this would be much appreciated (I'm on the usual cocktail of bisoprolol, ramipril, rivaroxaban and glyceryl

When to dial 999 and/or go to A & E - and when to just ride it out at home?
Hi, I had a nasty 8 hour AF episode this week. It affects me badly - chest pain, nausea, dizziness, weakness - and I can hardly move. At first I thought it was fairly mild, pulse up to 140, but later it really kicked in, pulse up to 220. At that point I'd had enough and was scared and for the first time

Raynauds out of options
Hi gang, Running out of options for my raynauds. Ulcers not healing. All vasodilator meds open the veins in my head and cause migraines - even gtn patch. Consultant has suggested a cervical sympathectomy - finding it hard to get info on it anywhere. I have scleroderma lupus and raynauds so mixed connective

Body composition & Docetaxel (Taxotere)
New study below. Actually from 2016, but PubMed presumably wasn't carrying the "Clinical Nutrition ESPEN" journal back then. (Anyone ever see a copy? LOL) It's mostly an Irish study with one Canadian. A note on BMI & visceral fat: BMI is a low-tech estimate of visceral fat. All you need is weight
