Can medication be reduced after a certain time with no problems?

No appointment available for rehab
Dear All My husband was referred for cardiac rehab to our local hospital. However, the hospital told us that they are dealing with a huge backlog and hence it will take a lot of time before he gets an appointment. Does anyone know of an alternative? I registered him on the bhf Weekly email thing for

Reading everyone's posts this week about their experiences with the NHS this year I think I have been very lucky. Having eventually been diagnosed with angina after 2 trips to our local hospital's A&E I was referred to Basildon cardiothoratic Centre and they have been fantastic. As you are probably

I see four doctors. Two neurologists--one for MS and one for PD, A cardiologist and a primary care doctor. All have their own schedules which don't coincide with mine so I see doctors every three months. A couple days ago I saw the cardiologist. He listened to my heart then ran an EKG then

what exactly does a stent involve?
Consultant has just copied me into letter to GP which seems to suggest that the choice is mine, to have or not, and I’m not clear what this would involve! 😬 Any advice, please?
