Can you recover from Angina, I suspect I have contacted this condition from overeating, and lack of exercise, does it leave permanent effects on the system? I have only contracted the condition very recently. If I exercise, carefully, and diet slowly I will hopefully improve. I have heard that aspirin, occasionally can relieve some of the pain, rather than painkillers, which could be harmful in the long term?
ps George Foreman grills and suchlike, can reduce 42% of the fat, but this does not mean you are able to increase the amount you eat, be careful!

It was obvious, just about to get in an ambulance to hospital, very sharp pains in chest, pains in back, pains in movement, classic signs. Have bought a low fat grill about 6 months ago, using whole pack of meat, chicken, etc, " ah well! it's low fat can't do any harm!", weight gone up dramitically recently. Sitting in front of computer all day, registered disabled, living on my own.
Even getting a cab to go shopping, about 10 mts walk away, usually one weeks shopping in one visit, quite frankly I was asking for it! Ironic I had a stroke 8 years ago, too much fatty food, if it had not been for the low fat grill, I probably would have had another stoke!
I have been on diets before, quite successful, only I need a quick 'kick up the pants' every now and then, to make sure not going back to my old slobbing ways! Set a target loss of 31 lbs!
You have a target to work toward to get into better shape. Please watch the quantity and portion size, 1/3 water, 1/3 food and 1/3 empty to start with. This is very difficult but you can do it.
Breakfast at 8 AM, nothing mid day, may be a hand full of nuts. and you can get hunger by 12!, after that nothing (food), tea and water till evening meal. This is a slow process and you can achieve it. I am feeling hungry as it is coming up to 12 now. today I had breakfast and tea. coffee at 11,
When I first started it was difficult for me, now controlling it, my belt is my marker. If I feel too tight then I do miss lunch or only have green leaf veg with tomatoes and onions. I eat in the evening before 7PM, nothing after that, just a fruit or water. When I get up I do feel hungry. One in a while when I go out I take leave from dial plan. Some weeks I do keep a food intake diary. I am controlling my weight.
How do you know you have angina? There is a condition where a slightly displaced rib can cause angina type symptoms. The relief from this condition is for a chiropractor to take the pressure of the nerve.
Angina is very easily diagnosed from symptoms without a medical consultant taking the time to check the arteries are problematic.
Another thing that is never checked is how you use the muscles. Poorly functioning muscles are capable of causing all sorts of things. Poorly functioning muscles are almost never investigated by the medical profession.
Exercise in old age should be about moving well. Exercise in the early twenties is about increasing the ability in strength and endurance. If you are middle aged then you should be looking at yoga, T'ai chi and Alexander Technique. And of course ensuring you get enough sleep.
Hope this helps you investigate the things you need to do.
I checked for angina via my GP who sent me onto local A&E, blood tests,... normal etc. Funny you should say that, I have scoliosis, my chest is deformed, and one of my best friends is my chiropractor, who is now due a visit.
I have started a diet, less food more exercise, I'm not a spring chicken anymore [sixty in three months] and slightly overweight!
Just checking that you are not dead yet from deliberate discrimination & arrogance of those thinking they know best It is just ignorant undemocratic thinking that is not going to assist as so unreasonable & inappropriate.
Other are conditions such as lymphoedma /lipoedema linkuing heart & breathing which you could have .And the treatment is??!! Has anyone had the decency & care to investigate Knowing they are letting the Insurance Companies condemn those of a certain BMI risk when it is not so simple. Health is not an exact science & statistics are questionable.
The system witheld antibiotics & hospital appts causing classic heart failure symptons ignored not because had broncho pneumonia age 5 but because was over weight from pubity .Realise now this is the primary lipo-lymphoedema stage 2 [ 2016] have ignored even though had MI cardiac arrest 14 yrs ago having targetted Function[ dysponea ignored ] in 1996 .I was revived with an angioplasty PA found 2 yrs ago re breathing yet since not showing stable or unstable angina on Tests so now the Specialists now conceding it could be Microvascular .As for Disability the Doctors told me not taught about? Do they no longer Research?
As my various specialists keep telling me "You are a one off!" too many medical conditions, [medication with sugar coating does not help matters in my blood testing] I am definitely overweight 16 stone, but one condition grinds against another, the rarity of 'schwannamatosis' probably the only one in Ireland, so no people to compare symptoms etc, I have had a stroke, ironically my heart is probably my strongest organ [it has to be?], deformed chest does not help my breathing and more strain on the old ticker, JME for near 50 years does not help [over 400 seizures], skull fractured at least three times, every rib in my body broken at least once, I'm very much one day at a time! I'm glad at last I have a good local GP, with a similar sense of humour, even able to compare our symptoms of our fractured shoulders! Hang loose!
