Has anyone with microvascular / spasmodic angina also got Raynauds and/or Achenbachs and how do they manage in the cold weather?

Since being diagnosed with microvascular and spasmodic angina I've been given an 18 month follow up but no advice. I also have Raynauds and Achenbachs which are not friends of cold weather. Currently I've been taking my GTN before I exercise or go out in the cold (I'm also on isosorbide mononitrate and nicorandil), but is there anything else anyone finds helps?

my husband was diagnosed with angina, though not micro vascular, and has since been diagnosed with Reynaud.

He follows the advice given by the NHS (see NHS Choices or their app). Carries an electric thing , can’t recall what it’s called, to keep hands warm and has just got an electric jacket.

Not what you're looking for?
