Weekend to forget

[Sciurus]

BTG, glad it went well.

I had the blue light treatment 4 am last October down to Lancaster then once stabilised, a stent at Blackpool. Really impressed with the NHS from the paramedics to the coronary team, they really knew their stuff and kept me fully informed as to what they were doing and what would happen.

If they offer you the chance of coronary rehabilitation- take it. The physios, really make you work hard and by the end I could practically run down boulders in the hills rather than descending somewhat gingerly like an old man.

I would take note of any possible side effects from the drugs- such as coughs, flatulence, running nose and frozen fingers and go back to your GP to try and vary the dosage or prescription.

Enjoy the rest of your life!

Good advice; I got a terrible cough (to the extent that colleagues begged me to see a Dr!) and as a result reduced my dose of Ramipril, which is known to have a cough as a side effect for some people.  I now take a lower dose of Ramipril and a dose of another as well and the cough is now much better (not quite gone altogether)

@JohnfromUKRamiril also gave me a dreadful cough- I swapped Rampiril for Losartin last week- 2 days later no cough! I wish I had swapped it months ago.
