MV Angina - Beaty fluttery heart when eating and drinking
I was diagnosed last year with MV angina and put on tildium and aspirin with GTN spray as a side order to use when needed. All has been relatively ok until past couple of days - when eating or drinking it feels like palpitations(?) a very heavy beaty chest and almost breathlessness sensation. It passes
