Leg and foot cramping
Last night I experienced a prolonged attack of calf and foot cramping in both legs and it was excruciating. As a last resort I used my GTN spray and the cramping almost immediately stopped. Has anyone else experienced this and know why it may be ? I’m now awaiting a GP econsult to discuss too. Thanks

I had an Echo this evening
Hi all, just an update. I am getting used to taking 30mg monomil and side effects are now minimal. I haven't needed to use the gtn spray for over a week now! I had the echo this evening and the guy performing it said that all looked OK. He said it was to look at the Chambers and valves. It wouldn't pick

GTN spray side effects
Have had the GTN spray for a while and have used it twice and too scared to use it again. As soon as I spray under my tongue, it feels as though there I have sprayed acid. The pain is terrible and made me cry out in pain. This pain lasts for about a minute. It’s unbearable. I filled out an online

A&E today and now having a 'Suspended admission' after severe chest pain episode
Wondering if anyone has had anything similar? I had a terrible day yesterday. Woke up with pressure in the left side of my chest, feeling like my body was covered in lead weights, exhausted despite having slept for a solid 10 hours, easily getting shortness of breath and having lightheaded spells that

CHEST Pain
For those who have replied and given me advice about 111 and hospital treatment, to my recent post about chest pain thank you, here is the next chapter. Because of the advice and my needing to know what the pain was, I contacted our GP surgery. Around 3,45 pm a doctor rang to ask what the problem was

Angina
I had 1 stent fitted in 2021 following a mild heart attack. In June last year I had chest pain, went to A&E and after tests was told angina and had I been using my Gtn spray? I hadn't as had not felt the need other than this 1 episode. Since then I had pain once again, overnight, at rest, used the gtn

chest pain after heart attack
Hi I had a heart attack on 7th December and am now in recovery with many tablets to take. Is it normal to still be getting chest pain and arm pain? I have used my gtn spray and it has relieved the pain at the time. My dad has sadly passed away in the last month and I don’t think stress is helping.

shortness of breath subsequent to zoledronic acid infusion
Because of GI problems, bisphosphonate tablets are not an option for me, so I have gone down the infusion path. I had my first infusion on December 28th, and experienced about three days of bad muscle pain, which then resolved itself. It was a couple of weeks later that I noticed that my ankles were

GTN Spray
Has anyone found a simple way of carrying your GTN spray around without it bulking up your pocket.... Mine is around the size of a pack of polo's and is a pain in my trouser pocket (male and No I don't want a man bag 🙂)I looked for some sort of lanyard thing to hang around my neck underneath my clothes

Vasospastic angina and migraine.
Been a while since I posted. I have vasospastic angina. I've been having what I call 'episodes ' on and off over the last month. GTN spray has been used on a more regular basis. I've noticed that over the last few days a migraine has been creeping in. Definitely not how my migraines usually present

Feeling rough
I had a MI in March last year and had 1 x stent several days later. Since then I've had various problems with the medication that I was given with mainly fatigue, so my medication was tweaked for several months after. I am now on the dosages I was originally put on and have been for a while and felt

Dizzyness when walking no chest pain though?!
Hello, Last week I had squeezing chest pain when walking after my heart rate shot up to 140bpm. I didn't feel dizzy or have much shortness of breath and it went away after using GTN spray. Since the day after that, every time I go for a walk I'm getting dizzy to the point of needing to stop walking.

New Year update
Firstly Happy New Year to everyone. Had a phone call last Thursday from my surgery to book an appointment for a blood pressure review. Had the appointment this morning what an utter waste of my time and the GPs time they wanted to see me as my BP is still stubbornly very low and I'm still getting lightheaded

Angina?
20th October I started to feel unwell after a week of stresses. Then the day after thought I had a bit of a bug from my granddaughter. By the next day I felt I had indigestion that seemed to come on as soon as I began to eat? Monday to wednesday bouts of pain in chest through to the back, neck, jaw
