Possible angina after triple bypass?
Approximately 2 1/2 years ago I was told I had Barrets Oesophagus and a hernia. Since that prognosis I have been getting acid reflux symptoms daily (heartburn and what feels like an uncomfortable pressure around my throat). Have also been on Lansoprazole/Rabeprazole with acid PH levels very low. Had

Nicotine and GTN
Hi all, I have another of my pondering questions. Nicotine I'm led to belive constricts the blood vessels whereas the GTN Spray opens everything up. So...if you have taken a GTN puff and then use a Vape does it negate the benefit of the GTN Spray and if so to what degree?Thanks

Anyone taking nitroglycerin for angina?
If so, did the nitroglycerin ever trigger an afib episode, or another arrhythmia? Thanks. Jim

Vasospastic angina pain relief
Hi folks, Just wondering if anyone has been prescribed decent pain relief to take at home instead of having to call an ambulance? I’ve been admitted 5 times in the last 14 months with severe pain due to VSA which the GTN didn’t touch. Mine can last almost all day and go on for several days at a time

Is Isosorbate Mononitrate 60mg necessary?
What I've got is very mild angina symptoms brought on by emotional stress. I'm 63, male. It's like a slight stitch, almost trivial. They've doubled my atorvastatin to 80mg pd. And "added in" Isosorbide Mononitrate 60mg pd to "alleviate symptoms". I'm happy with the statin, but the nitrate tablets seem
