I am currently awaiting a Consultant Appointment for Sacubitril with Valstartan.

I also have a GTN Spray for Angina.

Three sprays under the tongue and I am under instructions to dial 999

I have to have a blue light ambulance and my ECG will always show as abnormal.

NHS Rules, I have to go in to have an injection and be monitored.

I am quite capable of giving it myself, but not allowed to.

I record my Blood Pressure every 4 hours and my oxygen saturation and pulse every 2 hours,

Goodness me that’s a lot of meds to take...

Re: Side effects of Statins

I have cardiomyopathy with a 35 % heart function. 4 stents and and pacemaker/ defib implant. So, I have to be careful. I take Crestor statin and a number of other meds. They all have side effects which are a pain in the neck at times but they do their job.

Hi

They keep me alive.

I have so many injuries that I do not have enougth spare bits for another bypass operation.

Even if I did they would not be keen to do one.

My chest is stapled together and one of my lungs is 2 inch out of place.

Best described as cutting through a chicken wire fence in the words of the Consultant.

I am cool about it, we all die.

I could die in an accident tomorrow, irrespective of my injuries, we all could.

I have no issue with things, my life was my choice, my decision.

Do I have an issue with those who doubt things or complain about my Pension?

Oh Yes, but such is life
