Should I go to A and E
Just had to use my gtn for the first time in 10 months. I’ve been really good and then those old feelings are back. It’s been a year since my stent. Gtn worked and feel ok now. Should I go to AandE ? Or call the doc?

Just placed on Entresto
Really interesting reading your replies. I have just been advised to go on to Entresto lower dose am and higher dose pm. This was due to low BP readings under 100. Will know my blood test results soon to decide whether I can tolerate higher dose twice a day. I have had a CABG and mitral valve repair

Stent 6 yrs
So I was 36 had a heart attack 1 stent fitted ok since then minimal to no damage on all the meds. Saw my cardiologist once but never again. Why am I not under a consultant and why do I never have any scans or anything to make sure I'm still ok?

Zytiga and prednisone, bowel problems
Hi, my husband has been on Zytiga and prednisone for about 3 months, he also has a kidney stent due to prostate pressing on lymph node which in turn was blocking urine flow. His bowel habits have changed since then, ie loose stools and regularity changed. Anyone else with these problems? Thank you

Does anyone know what natural supplement I can take to lower early morning blood sugar while taking Clopidogrel and baby aspirin?
I recently had one heart stent put in. 99% blockage, and took me by surprise. Drove myself to the ER, really not knowing I was having a heart problem. I thought it was arthritis. Afterwards I was put on Clopidogrel and a baby aspirin. But before I had the stent put in I noticed that my blood sugar started
