Hello,

Entonox is half oxygen and half nitrous oxide ( laughing gas).

Entonox has been used by mothers giving birth for many years, as well as by paramedics and A&E staff for pain relief.

I have used entonox with a confirmed diagnosis of vasospastic angina. However that's me.

I suggest you inform the staff carrying out the procedure about your history of coronary vasospasms.

Also request a review from your Cardiologist or an Anaethetist to make sure it's safe for you to use entonox.

I hope your procedure goes okay.
