I have just been told that I have Angina and following a CT Scan that my small artery is 75-90 percentile for blockage. My father had heart disease and went through the whole process of medication, angioplasty and bypass over a period of 20 years and had problems all the way through until the bypass. I have been prescribed the usual Statins, Aspirin, Beta Blocker GTN and this has reduced the attacks to around 1 a day. So my question after that rather long preamble is should I be pushing for a stent or even a bypass asap? Are there people on here who have successfully managed ANGINA with medicines?
To add to the above my Angina comes on at rest between 10pm and 6am.
