Cardiologist said I had myocardial bridge (left artery), hypertension, and thick wall. I was put on beta blockers and have nitro for when the severe pain comes back. This happened 5 days ago.
I'm still having sharp chest pains. I can't walk at a normal pace or stand for long periods of time without my left arm tingling.
I called the RN for the cardiologist and she told me to take aspirin every 6 hrs to help with the pain. This isn't helping.
The likelihood that you have coronary artery disease is determined not only by the results of the stress testing, but also by your probabilty of coronary disease based on your risk factors such as cigarette smoking, family history, cholesterol levels, and hypertension . Your physician will evaluate your symptoms, risk factors, and stress test results. It sounds like your are on the right track with the stress testing.
180 and my BP was 170/110 i was sent to the ER and i was given 4 baby aspocid and a nitroglycerin pill (one which is put under the tongue) i Cant find a real cause for what happened . I'm not stressed and i was not angry with something or bothered about anything .
is this anything of cardiac origin. and what should my next step be .
After that till this time ther is no problem and i have never visited a Cardiologist also. I had little BP which is well undercontrol with medicines.

What would happen if you rubbed pure nitroglycerin on your skin?
I'd like to know the symptoms on and below the skin. I know that nitroglycerin is used for anginas, but I also know that it's generally mixed with something else, so I'm curious about how well pure nitroglycerin would work and what it would do.
And if you had a vial of pure nitroglycerin, what could you mix it with to be able to use it as ointment?
The first paragraph is just the doctors dictation of the diagnoses that he carries (COPD, hypertension, high cholesterol, gout, arthritis, BPH) and chest pain which was resolved with nitroglycerin. The IHD means ischemic heart disease, which means there is some heart disease caused by narrowed heart arteries.
However, the second paragraph you give the 80-90 stenosis of RCA which is non-dominant.
If you miss a dose of Nitroglycerin Patch, use it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not use 2 doses at once. When used for long periods of time without a break, some people develop a physical need to continue taking Nitroglycerin Patch. This is known as physical DEPENDENCE. Do not suddenly stop taking Nitroglycerin Patch without your doctor's approval.
My husband is 76 years old. He had a heart catherization recently and was found to have several blocked arteries. He had 2 stents put in 2011. Are the risks too great for my husband at his age with insulin dependent diabetes for 19 years to have open heart surgery?
His cardiologist so far has put him a medication regimen to try to help with his blocked arteries.
The only sympton he has had with the placing of the stents was Chest Pressure, no other symptoms.
I have had several fingers freeze up and not want to come out of the attacks for hours and that causes the nail splentors and i even had a bad infection in one finger. I was sent to a rhumotologist to be dianosed with CREST. Sorry about the spelling!
I started the nitro glycerin patches about 3 weeks ago at 0.1 dose and stayed on that for 3 weeks and now i'm on the next step up 0.
I still had stable angina every time I did some for of cardio activity or is I ate something with sodium. I started using Nitroglycerin patches and even have the pills just in case my angina episode occurs.
I had a date and I read online that you can't take viagra and any nitrates cause it can drop your blood pressure really low. So I stopped using my nitroglycerin for about 48 hours so I can take the Viagra.
This is known as physical DEPENDENCE. If you use Nitroglycerin Patch without a break and then suddenly stop using it, you may get WITHDRAWAL symptoms. No high bp but may include chest pain, heart attack, or possibly sudden death. Be sure to have a "nitrate-free" period of time each day; this may help prevent dependence and withdrawal problems".

I have had angioplasty done 5 months ago and now I am on heart related medicines Nitroglycerin, Clopidogrel+Ecosporin and Atorvastatin. I wear artificial denture. Last month I had surgery for cataract in my eye. My evacuation system is working fine, although sometimes I miss a day or two. I do not take any medication for this and the bowl movement becomes regular on its own. I want to know the reason for white coating on my tongue and the crack in it.
The doctor said the left heart was okay but found a narrowing in the right heart which caused coronary spasms during the test. IV nitroglycerin during the test stopped the spasms and dilated the vessel. He did not mention any other problems and recommended sublingual nitroglycerin to treat the spasms as they occur.
I am scheduled for a thallium stress test, and would like to know how the use of viagra or nitro prior to the test would influance the results.
Taking the medications meticulously and following lifestyle measures like quitting smoking, adequately controlling hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes and maintaining an ideal weight will help improve the ejection fraction.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Myocardial infarction pain is characteristically crushing retrosternal chest pain which may move to arms, shoulder, neck, teeth, jaw, belly area or back. This can be squeezing, lasting for 20 minutes. Rest and nitroglycerin may help relieve the pain to some extent.

i have blood pressure 116 over 72 angiogram shows no problem with cholesterol 2.5 on test. i have been given norvasc and lipitol ?
During a recent hospital stay where I was being treated for the Congestive Heart Failure and hypertension, I was put on fairly high doses of nitroglycerin and hydralazine and lasix. At some point during the stay I started having these unbelievably strong heart palpatations. My heart rate began to exceed 90 beats per minute and would drum like a mighty army in my head.
are some few examples) have a large body of evidence in morbidity and mortality benefits (fewer symptoms and disability and live longer) and short-acting nitroglycerin medications are used for symptomatic relief of angina. Isosorbide mononitrate and nicorandil are vasodilators commonly used in chronic stable angina.
