Is it angina?

[angantug]

Been to my doctor, with suffering breathless and pain in chest and shoulder blade when walking and cycling. She's put it down to angina. Given me medication and a spray, also ECG which seemed fine Yet had no further examination with this so I am quite confused if I have this condition or not. Is this just a precaution?

I would be asking for referral to rapid access chest pain clinic. I’m not sure just giving you GTN is how it works. I would check NICE guidelines for chest pains as you describe and go back to doc.

A resting ECG in a doctor’s surgery is pointless unless you’re actually experiencing pain, and classic angina is pain on exertion which goes off with rest and the meds!

Thank you.. I will contact my surgery.

Yes Sillyfroggy is spot on I would have expected onward referral as well

Agree

You definitely need diagnostic testing

Been to cardiology, got have a cardiac catheterization. Specialist also has requested a ultrasound scan. So at least things are getting sorted.
