pain't in back

[Donnak73]

HI all, its just over 2 years since my heart attack, just before my heart attack I had started getting angina, I literally only had it for 2 weeks before my heart attack happened, it started just when walking then at night when resting. Fast forward to now, I am working in a school Kitchen and when I am really rushed off my feet I have started getting the same pain, however it is not in my chest this time,it's in my back,at the back off my heart, if I slow my pace or stop the pain goes away. Should I be concerned, has anyone else witnessed back pain with angina?

Yes. It was one of my angina symptoms. I would call 111 or your GP and get it checked out.

I agree with Kirstin, call for further medical advice.

I also feel my angina in my upper left back.l

I was getting pain between the shoulder blades and creeping up to my neck, this was only relieved after a squirt of my GTN spray so I knew it was angina as my last heart attack in 2019 was at the back of the heart. It took nearly two years of talking to my GP and different Physio's before I was finally referred to a Cardiologist. He put me on a slow release version of a med called Isosorbide Mononitrate at 40mg, this med has been a life changer for me, I still have the odd episode, before it was an almost daily occurence and now it is down to two or three times a month. It does tend to wear off towards the end of the day and I can sometimes get mild angina symptoms, that is a very small price to pay for the benefit I get daily. I may be worth talking to your Cardiologist to see if the med may help you. All the best.

Yes, I had a pain in my back a couple of weeks after my HA. It was very localised, near the inner edge of my left shoulder blade. I rang 112, they said ring your GP, she said dial 999, so I finished up back in hospital, where they found nothing wrong. There was no angina with it and it hasn't happened again. Remains a mystery.
