Vasospastic Angina is back
I've had this on and off for probably over 10 years now. I was able to control it with an antidepressant, but I stopped the treatment last year. I'm still talking Amlodipine 5 mg daily and Nitro spray as needed. In the last 10 months I started sufferring with daily ectopics, however haven't had angina

For several weeks now I've been really breathless. History of HA & 2 stents 2 years ago. Two other blockages in LAD deemed not bad enough to stent at 63%; blood flowing ok. Before the HA i was breathless like this and GP insisted it was my spinal problems making chest muscles tight. Now, without

Artery Spasms / Variant
Anyone please answer but maybe one for Milkfairy. I am somewhat confused by my diagnosis of Artery Spasms vs Vaso vs Variant vs other names. When I had a 2nd Angiogram 6 months ago, the cardiologist said he saw my LAD and another Artery go into spasm during the angiogram procedure but said both the

Time between attacks
Having been given GTN by GP for angina attacks 5 weeks ago, after having 2 nasty attacks a week apart. I'd been having these for approx 18 months before realising I had a lot of symptoms of angina. Since having the spray, I've had one attack in my sleep, only waking as the symptoms were abating. My

Back in A&E
Chest pains been building all day and wouldn’t shift GTN spray calmed a little bit the pain come back with a vengeance. Only made a normal appointment with my Gp, he was really concerned and called an ambulance. I haven’t got my meds with me as I wasn’t expecting to be here. 🙄

Calcium score 0 but still getting chest tightness. Cardiologist has discharged me..
My CT cardiac angio showed a calcium score of 0 so my ‘cardiologist’ of all of 5 mins thinks my symptoms of chest tightness on exertion and with stress were due to a low iron. She’s discharged me with no further tests but I’m still getting symptoms. At a loss what to do... I suspect I should use the

Spider now snakes !!!!
Found a grass snake last week, they don’t bother me so watched it wiggle off, Just now, there’s a small adder just gone into a crumbly old wall, yikes they can cause damage, keeping my dog inside until it’s found again. I’ll put a photo on here if I see it again. It’s that time of year, I’m keeping my

Can You Have Too Much GTN Spray?
Hello, I have this Glyceryl Trinitrate spray that I am supposed to use if I get a pain. I have used it a couple of times, when I thought I had a pain, but it makes me feel really bad, (heart racing,head pounding and a bit sick). I am not sure how bad or how long I should put up with any "Pain" before

Last week was challenging - chest pain and visit to A&E
Just over a week ago (Sunday 30th August) I decided to go back to swimming after a 5 month break. I swam 44 lengths in 50 minutes and felt great. Next day I noticed my blood pressure was higher than normal and had a chest niggle after light warm up walk and a 30 minute run. I thought it was muscular
