Pre Angiogram Symptoms
Hi everyone. After having two perfusion scans last month I've had a letter from the hospital today to say I need to have an angiogram as there is a possible problem with the blood supply to my heart. I've had various symptoms since January, mainly palpitations, pain between my shoulder blades, chest

Chemotherapy side effects
Hello once again. I'm due for my second perfusion of Cisplatin and Alimta (for stage IIa Non-small) this coming Monday. I suppose I will be able to discuss this with the nurses but it's hard to know who to talk to as everyone is in such a rush all the time. They say to report any side effects to

Myocardial Perfusion
My husband has had the above test done today and on way home it has brought on his angina symptoms terrible. He thinks it’s due to the fatty food he had to eat for it. He is getting bad chest pains and down arm and in neck. Has anyone else had this after this test?

Perfusion normal
Hi Further to previous messages I received confirmation today from my cardiac nurse that the perfusion was normal and my heart is working well which is great news given my past history. I'm now left wondering what else could be causing me to get breathless after a little activity and feeling so tired

Chemo affecting kidneys
Hi there, My mum had her first round of chemo (cisplatin and pemetrexed) two weeks ago for her stage IV NSCLC and has since been hospitalised (with complications of her cancer -
pleural
effusion
and blood clots) rather than the chemo and she is going home in a day or two.

Unexplained Chest Pains/Palpitations
I started having tachycardia 4 years ago. My heart rate would go up into the 170s. I've had several ECGs, blood work, CT Scan of the heart, stress test, holter monitor, Ziopatch and echo. Everything came back normal. I have been put on propranolol, metoprolol, and now Bisoprolol 2.5 mg once daily since

Lumbar spinal stenosis with PSP?
My husband also was diagnosed with severe lumbar spinal stenosis and it was recommended he have spinal fusion. We are not going to do that at this point. Can't imagine adding that on top of everything else. The rehab would be nearly impossible. Someone else on this site (I can't find the post now) said
