I would ring 111 and get yourself checked out

Definitely ring 111.No chest and arm pain should be ignored.

Yes. I agree with the others. Do get checked out when you get chest and left arm pain.

If you try GTN spray, and the pain returns over the next few minutes, this is the guidance I got

‘If you are reaching for a third spray, then it’s urgent. Call an ambulance’’.

Dear poppy40

its time to call the medical professionals again, chest pain that is helped by the GTN spray needs investigation Im afraid.

Good luck and please don't over worry, just get answers and get well

Do you have your diagnosis written in a letter somewhere? If so ,take it with you next time. I have microvascular angina and spasm and sometimes depending on severity and duration of angina I will need to keep taking the spray alot. It allways works though.
