Experiences with

I saw the cardiac nurse, she recommended I carry on with the GTN spray but they have not officially diagnosed micro vascular angina. I feel a bit abandoned now. I quite often get chest pain, breathlessness and palpitations, should I ask my GP for further advice and/ortrearment?

I want to share my recent experience in case it's helpful to others. I've had Raynaud's since I was in my late teens, 60 years ago. I was diagnosed with PV in 2019 and have been taking Hydrea ever since. Every winter, because of the Raynaud's, I get small painful sores that look like blood clots in

Had a mild heart attack @2 years ago a d lately fainting after gtn spray use. Quickly seen by nhs consultant cardiologist concerned about my breathless after treadmill test. She did not want to do anything invasive and has arranged a ct scan of the heart to see what's going on. My query is why does she

Had a face to face appointment with a really good GP yesterday , my symptoms are sudden sharp chest pain and feeling breathless when the temperatures drop to freezing or below that , it never used to affect me until this year . He wants me checked for anemia and angina , in the meantime he’s prescribed

Hi, Happy New Year! I am a newbie here, and would like to have a chat please on the Forum. I have an array of awful symptoms which have been ongoing for 2 years now. I am Hypothyroid and on Levothroxine for 12 years now and seeing an Endocrinologist who sees me every 6 months as my Ranges are never

Hi all (First time I've posted and not sure if I've put this query in the correct place). I'm 59 and was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism when I was 50. I'm currently on 75mcg 4 days/wk and 50mcg 3 days/wk. I recently visited my GP as I'd been having chest pain for a few months on & off. She immediately

Hello hello. Desperate for some advice about the diagnostic process for vasospastic or micro vascular angina. I was discharged from cardiology last year following a CT scan that showed insufficient blockage to cause symptoms. I fought hard to be seen again and to retain my isosorbide mononitrate, as

Hi been a while but feeling so crappy decided to pull all my corner suite out Sunday to clean behind it found lots of jelly beans 🫘 by the way and 2 spiderman bullets 😂 but since have had chest pains all yesterday and last night waking me up took gtn spray subsided a little enough to get some sleep

I have vasospastic angina and have managed with GTN only for the six years since diagnosis. GTN seems to be less effective than it was. The consultant I saw on 30 December believes I may be becoming resistant and prescribed 60mg of slow release Diltiazem. He gave me specific instructions to take it

Hi all, I don't start the rehab classes for another week so I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this...... I'm nearing 5 weeks since my HA/new stents. Walking is going well (managed to walk around the shopping mall a couple of times at a good pace at the weekend (too cold to walk outside)).

Hi All, thank you for all your advice and support. I've cancelled my guest lectures despite protestations from my partner. He will use GTN spray if required ( he spoke with cardiologist and they said to sit down when he takes it and rest for a few minutes afterwards). Hopefully his CABG date comes

Firstly I would like to thank everyone for their comments. I called Doctor around 4.45pm on Tuesday evening because of the pain and I had already taken 2 x GTN spray. I got the receiptionist and said I wanted some advice regarding chest and my GTN spray only to be told it was emergency calls only after

I do get these little, light pains during the day. I've seen the cardiac nurse and she said if it's more like angina pains then use the GTN spray, which it's not. She said I could do anything so long as I don't get out of breath, or having to hold my breath. So I've been doing a bit more, such as

Hi my partner attended for a stent on 17th Dec 24, the angiogram showed extensive CAD, so he was referred for an Urgent Quadruple CABG. The Cardiothoracic surgeon saw him on 7th Jan 25. Surgeon says op will be approximately in mid Feb. 2 days after the angiogram and abandoned angioplasty on 17th

I was woken up by chest pain on the Sunday before Christmas. Ended up being taken by ambulance to hospital, firstly on an assessment unit overnight then transferred to the cardio ward. Had ECG, bloods and a heart scan. After a 2nd night on a heart monitor I was sent home teatime on Christmas eve. I'm

Just wondering how many others get really sharp chest pain during episodes. This is a central chest pain and I have a high pain tolerance but this has been getting steadily worse since middle of November. Today it lasted for around 3/4 hour and it was like someone stabbing me with a knife. I took

I was waiting for an urgent referral to Rapid Pain Clinic after dodgy EGC. Gp being a real pain insisting I have a blood test first. Was due to go on Monday but lots of flooding meant I was unable to get there. Had chest aches all weekend. On Monday I woke up with chest pains, worse so far. Heart was

Just lately I have been getting chest pain along with a headache, the headache is a new addition I find when I use the Gtn spray it relieves the chest pain which I expect but it also stops the headache, has anyone else found this. Not sure if the headache is connected with the chest pain but I’m

Hi all. After having chest aches I was sent for an ecg which shows there is something not right. Doc reckons possibly Angina. Am really stressed about it. I called ambulance last night as it was getting painful. They were not concerned but suggested a trip to A&E. The pain eased after gtn spray and
