Hi all..having read a few of the posts I must admit to feeling a little bit of a fraud, in comparison, my problem seems very small. I was diagnosed with angina about 18 months ago, by chance really, as I had been experiencing pain between my shoulder blades, breathlessness when walking my dog and exhaustion during the day. Long story short, I was diagnosed, and over time have been put on quite a few drugs which really help me lead a pretty normal life, except for the constant breathlessness. I have had COPD tests and am clear, and have just had a myocardial perfusion stress test, which was not pleasant, and also the same test without stressing the heart. I am at present awaiting the results. I already know from previous tests that my heart doesn't relax properly, so may be the reason for the breathlessness. I suppose I was just wondering if anyone on this site has the same problem and how they cope, as before this diagnosis, I really enjoyed walking, and now find it more of a chore than a pleasant experience, which is a little depressing.
Wishing you all a great day.
Jo
