Hi all. Had my angiogram yesterday (lots of nerves for no reason) I found out all large arteries clear πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ but cardiologist believe that my small one are blocked. πŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽShe explained there are no tests that can be done to find out as they are to small. Has anyone got this type of Angina? Next test booked for echocardiogram on 22nd.

I have a small artery that is blocked they said it is too small and in a tricky place so a stent would be no good. I now have angina and struggling with medication

Hi. I'm sorry to hear that. So far medication as made little difference to me but it's been increased so I shall see. I'm just going to find out as much as I can about it all and take each day as it comes. Take care x

I would be interested to know how often you get your angina attacks and when do they occur ?

Hi. I only get them when I am walking fast or walking on an incline so it's on excersion only. My heart rate rises quite a bit just walking up stairs so I tend to do everything thing slowly. X
