Ranolazine, amlodipine and lansoprazo now suggested to take Isosobine mononitrate as well. GTN spray has little effect. Advice, please.
Diagnosed with MVA, eventually, after all the usual frustrations of being made to feel a total fraud since nothing was found through numerous painful ‘attacks’ and the usual ECGs and angiogram. At 62 and previously a very fit male, I’m very thankful to the cardiologist who suspected MVA and put me on

Possibility of the start of heart failure
I ended up back in A&E yesterday , I’d had a lot of pain by my pacemaker so I called 111 for advice , they said a GP would call me a bit later and I should call back if I felt worse, I had a bit of chest pain so I called back and they sent an ambulance . The paramedic said there were changes on my ecg

GTN spray for angina only?
Hi. Might seem like a stupid question but as I’ve had different responses from range of medics GP to cardio nurse I thought I’d ask here! Brief history - STEMI LAD October 1 stent. Clot in stent 4 hours later. November - ACS - angioplasty and stent RCA. December- angiogram and challenge test - MVD

Post heart attack mental health
Morning, feeling very deflated today. Yesterday was the one month mark of my HA. I’ve been feeling stronger so booked in to get my hair done. I’d only been in the chair half an hour ans the sweat just started pouring off me and I just felt so queasy. Next thing there’s a first aider next to me ringing

Should I use GTN spray?
Occasionally I have ‘Pain’ (more like cramp) in left forearm but not in chest. I have recently diagnosed unstable Angina and 1 stent fitted and waiting for #2. Should I use GTN SPRAY?

GTN Patches
Hi All, I joined this community not too long ago and I’ve been looking at some of the posts that come up. I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with using GTN Patches? I’ve had a consult with my Dr today who has recommended them and I’ve just been reading a few articles I could find - however

I've joined the bypass queue....
Six months ago I thought I was a relatively fit person, going up Cadair Idris. The my breathing problems started and got rapidly worse. Now I'm on a cocktail of medicines, keeping the GTN spray always in the pocket and waiting for my turn in the bypass queue. Allegedly, it is six months long, I am not

Unsure if should use GTN spray
Hi, I'm new here. I had a heart attack in march 2017 and had two stents put in. It was the start of pre menopause for me and I was 44 at the time. I've been generally ok since then, but have struggled with regular exercise and have put on weight. Proper menopause kicked in at the beginning of this year

Recurring intermittent chest pains after NSTEMI heart attack
Hi. I am looking for some advice. I had an NSTEMI in December last year followed by 2 stents in my right coronary artery and a third blockage in the left was treated with an angioplasty. I am now on a selection of drugs including antiplatlet, blood pressure, statins, beta blockers, and angina drugs.

Heart attack (Stemi) and unable to stent because of ectatic Coronary artery
Last August I had a STEMI. A heart attack which resulted in the complete blockage of the Right coronary artery. When they looked via the angiogram/angioplasty they found that the artery was ectatic. That means apparently that it is not uniform in cross section , and not smooth in end to end shape. They

My Dad had a heart attack
Hello, last Tuesday (4/4/21) my Dad (74) suffered a heart attack, before arriving at the hospital he had to have his heart restarted twice. He was fitted with 5 stents and placed on various medications and was told that his heart was badly diseased but he was not told that he had heart failure. Thankfully

Need some practical advice
On March 9th I went into hospital with chest pains. On the 13th I was discharged with a diagnosis of unstable angina, with some new pills called Nicorandil and a summary discharge letter. I have had an echocardiogram and a heart CT. Since I was discharged I’ve heard nothing - no outpatient appointment
