is this usual?
morning all, in April last year I had a hospital admission for suspected heart issues, in September I was told I have a significant narrowing in an artery, not a main one, they tried to start me in a whole heap of meds and suggested a stent, I wanted a chance to avoid all this so for 6 months I have

Newly diagnosed MVA
I am newly diagnosed with Microvascular Angina after months of chest pains, fatigue and feeling generally poorly. An angiogram showed my main arteries are all ok. Therefore it turned out that it is this disease. It is a relief that I can put a name to my condition but equally not great because it’s not

Recurrence of coronary artery spasm
Yet another trip to A&E. Fortunately spasm didn't result in increase in troponin levels so after monitoring me for entire day recommendation was to add isosorbide mononitrate to daily cocktail of drugs. I have three questions please: 1. Has anyone struggling with this condition found an ideal cocktail

gtn spray
I was diagnosed with angina a few years ago and at the prescribed GTN spray, I have to say I rarely use it partly due to the headache it causes! I also have severe COPD for which I use various inhalers, I was just wondering would the GTN spray be beneficial to me for help with breathlessness? for example

A huge Thank You and rash update
I want to thank everybody who supported and reassured me on my post two days ago. Thank you all for sharing your own experiences with me and to Barbara and Kat for sharing photos of their rashes which did suggest it was indeed a Lupus rash I had, as I’d suspected, when it looked so similar and was running

Question about use of Glyceryl Trinitrate
Recently been diagnosed as Anemic. Its affecting my heart. Does anyone know if using the above frequently, say 2 to 3 times a day causes the heart to weaken further or is it safe to do so in the long run?

Stable Angina or Microvascular? Should I ask for further tests?
Hello Was diagnosed with stable angina on Monday after a couple of episodes running (chest pain, clammy, shaky). I've had an ECG today (all clear) and bloods taken. The doctor on Monday basically signed me off (that's what it felt like) and told me not to worry too much (easier said than done) and

GTN Spray or tablets?...
Hi. I'm due to go away for 3 months to a very hot area without Aircon or refrigeration. I not on my GTN spray it has a temperature storage range and I'll not be able to meet that range - it will be too hot. Would I be better off with tablets? Incidentally I've not had to use the spray once since a stent

It’s gone a bit pear shaped
I posted the other day about having a stress echo, I knew it hadn’t gone well after all it lead to an angina attack. I’ve been having mild chest pains ever since my quadruple CABG last June which I thought would improve but it hasn’t. My surgeon called me today to tell me it looks like there is a problem

Angina or not

GTN Spray
Hello, I am new here. Hoping everyone is well :) I had a question regarding the GTN spray. I do not use it frequently however, whenever I do, I have noticed that my BPM (heart rate) accelerates quite quickly and is up and down for the first 10 mins or so. Is this a normal response to the spray as I

micro vascular angina good news!
Hi All, I hope everyone’s doing well!

Statin Chest Pain
after an angiogram last September which showed clear the cardiologist instructed me to come off pre-cautionary nitrates and I was told to stay on 40mg Atorvastatin and commence Diltiazem 2 x 60mg per day as well as one Aspirin 75mg. Although not tested cardiologist thinks I have Microvascular angina
