how much is too much
how much GTN do people use on average through the day. I’ve used it three times. Four the other day. Just curious how much people use?

chest pain
I’ve been having chest pain. GP suspects coronary artery disease, and prescribed GTN. Had a referral call with the cardiologist who said I “had a full house for heart disease.” In two days I have a treadmill test and he has advised that I may have to go on a beta-blocker. Im pretty active, spinning

Advice Pls…
I had a sudden heart attack in December 2022 aged 43. Everything came as a surprise as I’m not over weight and I am generally healthy. I was fitted with 2 stents. I completed my 8 weeks of rehab and was discharged from the hospital appointments at 3 months. After my heart attack I kept getting a pushing

Apologies.
Sorry for lack of update. I was really tired yesterday. Saw the on duty cardiologist yesterday morning. I now know in more detail why they wont attempt to stent me. Problem is in a small branch artery close to a major one. Attempting to stent that narrower one carries a greater risk of rupture plus would

GTN spray
I am awaiting an angiogram and have been prescribed GTN which I use as and when needed. I do however get palpitations and wonder if the spray would be helpful for that. Sadly I didn't see a GP when the GTN was prescribed, a nurse called me to say for my symptoms I should have it. Cardiologist wants

Seriously fed up
Was doing really well until my blip 2 weeks ago (felt dizzy and BP dropped to 80/60 at end of rehab). Since then I've felt rotten. Lots of dizziness and chest discomfort. Even ended up with 111 calling an ambulance and an overnight stay in hospital getting checked out. ECG fine, BP ok but very slightly

Using GTN spray in a preventative manner
QUESTION
Has anyone any experience of using their GTN spray before exercise that they can share?
CONTEXT
My issue is that when hill walking I have experienced bad spasms on the descent and against the wind. I'm fine going uphill. It's almost bizarre. The GTN does solve the problem on

Right advice?
I was told by one GP a while back (when I asked) that it didn't matter how often I use my GTN spray as long as it relieved the symptoms. On a recent visit, as I was concerned that I was suffering more fatigue and a bit of an increase in pain (still not as bad as when first diagnosed), I was told that
