Hi and hope your doing ok,

Omg well I have enormous chest pain which spreads up my into my neck and throat, down my left arm , in my back , lasting up to 45 minutes, other times I get a tightness in chest and throat a d pain in back and breathing difficulties lasting 10 minutes or longer happening daily , or I get short sharp stabbing pain for like a few seconds,

I used the spray this afternoon and glad I did but lethargy is awful can't move for feeling exhausted ..

Do you get any kind of chest pain when you’re doing any kind of exercise?

Typically you use the spray only when you have angina pain

My husband has unstable angina. People do not understand that it can happen at anytime, at rest, watching TV or even wake up in bed with it. He has found it is best to use the spray as soon as possible.
