October 6, 20241 yr Any of our members here suffer with Angina? if so what treatment or medicines do you take? I was reading nitrate pills for angina, does it work?
October 6, 20241 yr Popular Post What works is a visit to a cardiologist to determine the cause, you don't self medicate for angina, otherwise you die.
October 6, 20241 yr What are the symptoms of angina ? I may have this !!! Is it similar to Pericarditis?
October 7, 20241 yr Can be mistaken for angina but is actually caused by GERD, another reason to get checked out.

Yes I have to take Nexium Both GERD and GORD are acceptable terms to describe gastroesophageal reflux. Unless of course your doctor is a pumpkin or a squash, in which case GOURD would be more appropriate. 🙂
October 7, 20241 yr An adolescent troll post has been removed, this is the health forum and posters are seeking advice.
October 7, 20241 yr Popular Post Since not asking how to get rid of zits ... ... you may want to actually visit a cardiologist, for a real evaluation & suggestions.
October 7, 20241 yr As others have said this is not something that can be self diagnosed. neither can it be self treated.

October 8, 20241 yr Get a diagnosis done with an EKG and/or CAT scan with contrast, a cardiologist will then prescribe suitable medication. If the doctor prescribes beta-blockers to slow down the pulse rate, be aware these medications have side effects such as loss of libido, and psoriasis.

However, we have here on AN people, who give unqualified advises.

I have to take one a day 40mg for high blood pressure caused by my testereone shots But I need my testereone shots even though it's going damage to my heart

I have to take one a day 40mg for high blood pressure caused by my testereone shots But I need my testereone shots even though it's going damage to my heart Valsartin is an angiotensin II receptor blocker, which works differently to a beta-blocker. AFAIK valsartan has zero effect in terms of psoriasis, although it may affect libido.
October 8, 20241 yr https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/high-blood-pressure/in-depth/beta-blockers/art-20044522 and Valsartin https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/valsartan-oral-route/description/drg-20067355

I woud want coronary angiogram.
October 8, 20241 yr Coronary angiogram? What's the one where they put the tubes inside your arteries to check , apparently that can have side effects
October 8, 20241 yr If you get a stress test, either treadmill or nuclear, and there is indication of heart issues, particularly artery blockage, a coronary angiography with catheterization gives them the ability to treat blockages found with angioplasty with or without installing stents.. otherwise, if you don’t set up the catheterization, you get to do it again doubling the amount of radiation received. And since it is done with only good pain meds, you can watch the whole thing on wide screen tv.
October 8, 20241 yr So please someone tell me the steps to take to get checked I have had a Echocardiography, it found "trivial" pericarditis What's the next step ,what is a CT Calcium score check ? Should I get that next or go and ask for a treadmill test?

October 8, 20241 yr Go see a cardiologist! tell him/her everything. Ask @Sheryl for a recommendation if you don’t already know someone nearby. triple bypass survivor

October 23, 20241 yr Has a cardiologist diagnosed uour psin as agina? If do, what is the undetlying cause and have spptopriate interventions (e.g. dtents) been considered? Angina cannot be self diagnosed. Pain ftom gastritis among other things can be indistinguishable; even a doctor may confuse the two initially. It is not common in this day and age to treat angina with nitrates since there has been so much progress in interventions that correct the underlying cause as wrll as other meficatikn regimines (aspirin, anicoagulants, beta blockers etc) . There is no substitute for seeing a cardioliogist.
