Concerned by chest pain
I'm starting to get worried now. Last week I was admitted to hospital after 4 days of chest pain. I underwent several ECGs and a couple of blood tests and the conclusion was that it was not a cardiac event. I'm now on my 8th day of chest pain. Where the pain is seems to vary - upper chest, lower chest

MVA - Spasms and Exercise
Good Morning from Singapore (National Day) I wonder if I might ask those with Artery Spasms, MVA, etc etc about exercise. Whilst I am still waiting to be confirmed with Artery Spasms which is causing my breathlessness and pain, it has been presumed as my 2 arteries with stenosis reveal only 48 and

Diagnosed with coronary artery disease and unstable angina feel anxious
Hi all, I have cad and unstable angina, I was diagnosed 18 months ago. I'm on the usual meds statins, calcium channel blockers, beta blockers, aspirin and, my gtn spray which I can't do without... I feel I was diagnosed, which was a shock and then left to fend for myself, I feel alone in all this

Still anxious of diagnosis
Hi again, it is now several weeks since given diagnosis of (LAD - minor atheromatous changes- left diagonal branch is a good size vessel with focal stenosis of 90% ) I am on atorvastatin 40mg at night and aspirin 75mg daily. The consultant has said he will review me in 6 months as my message before

VEGF Inhibitors.
The list below is copied from a paper published last year [1]. As many might recall, untreated tumors outgrow their blood supply. Contrary to popular belief, cancer does not "hate" oxygen. Oxygen insufficiency (hypoxia) results in production of HIF-1alpha (hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha), which triggers

Heart Spasm?
Hi all, On Sunday afternoon I had a sudden intense “spasm” , felt like someone had reached in and squeezed my heart. I’ve had similar feelings occasionally before but this time it left me with a tight, heavy “lump” in the middle of my chest which would not go away...on top of which I felt weak, ill and

Just home from hospital !!
I’d had chest pain, down both arms across shoulders and my back, that just wouldn’t shift with the GTN spray. Ambulance, morphine and goodness knows what else later as that morphine is pretty good stuff, X-ray ECG monitored, then my blood pressure went down to 97/43 put on fluids, I think they understood

Short Angina. Advice please
I would be most appreciative of any comments or advice. I have been getting possible Angina pains when walking up even slight inclines but they usually last only around 20 seconds. If I stop, pains stops. I have only used my GTN 3 times in 3 months but am still so very anxious prior to walking up even

Exercise Modulation of Tumour Perfusion and Hypoxia to Improve Radiotherapy Response
New paper below [1]. ".. recent studies reveal that exercise may also directly influence tumour physiology that could beneficially affect the response to radiotherapy."

GTN spray and stress !!!
I don’t know what it’s about having this micro vascular angina vasospastic angina , can anyone tell me if I have it right that they can come in clusters? Mine certainly do. Probably not a good idea for ‘me’ to take our spaniel to the vets, as I needed to use the spray several times, twice each time,

I was back in hospital 3 weeks ago as I just felt really poorly and GTN spray wouldn’t get rid of the feeling ECG was fine and Blood was OK However since coming out the same things

Hi I am waiting on a ct angiogram. I went to my GP due to the tightness I have been having in my chest. It’s almost like it’s hard to breathe and the pain travels round to my back. It sometimes feels like indigestion. I have had cancer treatment 12 years ago and I wonder if it’s affected my heart, I
