Unstable angina

Hiya,

Does unstable angina get worse with exercise?

I’m on the understanding that unstable angina is more serious than stable angina?

Or with it being unstable does that mean that exercise won’t bring it on like stable angina does?

Hi my husband had stable angina which was brought on with pushing the exercise but when his stable angina became unstable it didn’t matter if he was just sitting and it would start for no reason, unstable angina is definitely more serious as he ended up with a mild heart attack and a triple bypass

Unstable angina is basically a heart attack waiting to happen.

My husband was told if he gets angina pain while resting to use gtn spray & call an ambulance. Unstable angina is definitely more serious than angina.
