Hello Supadensie

Welcome to the forum

Have you been referred to the Rapid Chest pain clinic?

Microvascular and vasospastic angina are often overlooked and it can take sometime to get a diagnosis.

The BHF has some information about Microvascular angina on their website.

See Milkfairy response. There is not much she does not know given her history. Do check out the links she has provided.

I totally understand your pain , I have been diagnosed with MVA last weekHave u been to chest pain clinic/ seen cardiologist? They can recommend MRI to confirm but the diagnosis can be made on the history after initial tests/ normal angiogram

Bisoprolol did not help me, Diltiazem hopefully will.

I found Brompton info more helpful than BHF
