Hi does anyone have earache then mid chest ache as sign of their angina. I had this last evening took my gtn spray and it went away . Lasted about three minutes. I was sitting at the time. I have angina but rarely. I have a 80% blockage in LAD diagnosed 5.1/2 yrs ago and being treated with medication. Thank you for your time .

Dear Plum53

Yes I did have earache with my angina attacks, but it was more like a build up of pressure ( so was the heart feelings ) and not really a pain as such.

Again like you the symptoms went away with the GTN spray use.

Moving on I have had a bypass and all that has now gone.

Without putting any worry onto you, I personally think that you should contact your Dr/ heart team, about this.

I may just be a slight adjustment of medication needed, but whatever it is it needs investigation now.

Take care and please let us know your progress

Ive not had earache, but I get very strong wristache and handache. Thank goodness it goes with the gtn spray! See your doc, as like me, you maybe need stents to help your heart from struggling. All the best.

Thank you for replying. Did you get this at rest and were you already on medication for angina

Not really at rest. I had to do something or could be cold too or excited or worried! I was only on GTN spray for it and it works for me! Hope you feel better.
