I am sorry that this is happening to you, it must be very distressing

@milkfairy often responds to issues like this and I hope they see this soon. Meanwhile, in response to a similar post recently they wrote about a Care Plan being written for these situations. Would not solve your immediate problem but would be a helpful strategy for the future.

Sorry that you are feeling so low about this situation. I think that most of us feel this way or have done recently, I know that i have.

You have made a good move to contact the group, even though we cannot fix many problems at least we can empathise and sometimes even raise your spirits.

I always recommend this because of the relief that they gave me when I was first diagnosed: try talking to the cardiac nurses on the bhf helpline, you don't need to book and they have answers for many of the questions that we all ask. Look at the web page and either call or on-line chat with them 9-5 monday to friday.

Chat / reply to some of the others on here, if nothing else it gives you something to take your mind off your troubles for a while.

Good luck!

Hello,

Do you know what is causing your angina?

I have lived with unstable angina due to coronary vasospasms for over 10 years.

I acknowledge just how challenging it can be living with uncertainty.

[Loomes in reply to Loomes]

Thank you for kind words they never give any feel like a fake at hospitals

Have you discussed with your Cardiac nurse or GP how you are feeling? I found seeing a Clinical Psychologist helped me cope with the uncertainties of living with unstable angina.

What exactly does a clinical psychologist do?

A Clinical Psychologist can help you to find stratergies to respond in a less emotionally harmful way to your pain.
