Does anybody here take Isosorbide Mononitrate 60 mg twice a day ?
Had a 3 X CABG 7 years ago, I’m now a 64 years old, male. Everything since then has been fine, until recently, as I've now started to get angina attacks in the early mornings whilst asleep, and if I exert myself (like walking to the shops). I had to go to A&E when using my GTN spray did not work on

stents for the elderly
Dad had a heart attack back in January. He's 88 yrs old. While in hospital he was offered to take part in a trial and have stents placed. He hadn't much time to think about it but decided not to have it done considering the risks attached. Following a reasonable recovery he's now started suffering tiredness

Nighttime angina
I have mild ischaemic heart disease and had occasional exercise-related attacks of angina which now seem well-controlled on Nicorandil 10mg, half-tablet am and pm. A few months ago, I had surgery on a badly-broken femur, and a number of temporary medications including morphine and codeine. Since then

Heart attack I didn’t know about?
I’ve just come back from seeing my cardiologist who said I’m doing pretty well following my quadruple CABG 6 weeks ago but wants me to do some stress tests because I’ve used my gtn a couple of time since. The big thing is now we had time to chat as my surgery was pushed through really quickly following

LAD Bypassed then Native LAD Stented
Hello just wondering if anyone else has had this procedure. My LAD was bypassed in 2015 and in 2018 was stented through the bypass to increase the blood flow. After some real shortness of breath on exertion and arm pain my Cardiologist carried out an Angiogram to see what was going on. He decided

Coronary artery restenosis problems
I am 78, male and have multiple health problems including asthma, COPD, diabetes, Barrett’s oesophagus, and osteoporosis. The most life threatening condition, however, is rapid resentosis in coronary artery stents. This first stents were inserted in November 2020, and restenosis started in December

GTN? What to expect.
I’ve been getting a chest pain since 1998, when I was blue-lighted to hospital, spent 5 days there having tests and then sent home after an angiogram gave me the all clear. I’ve described the pain to doctors who say it’s just like a heart attack and if it ever lasts for longer than usual I should call

Should I see a councillor
Hi all I’m 3 weeks post quadruple bypass which came out of the blue and was a total shock. Then last Tuesday it looks like I had a post surgery HT. The mental side kicked in from almost the start which is something I have never suffer with, I thought I’d be over it now but I’m still having tearful times
